Former KU star Valentine plays pick-up with Jayhawks
At 41, Darnell Valentine shows he can still play, running fast breaks and passing crisply during KU practice. The 1981 KU alum and former NBA guard describes his playing weight of 190 pounds, his daily cardio, and the life lessons from his college days. He recalls nearly dying from an abdominal aneurysm in 1997 and urges current players to value college and opportunities, citing Roy Williams and Michael Jordan as examples. Simien and Anderson join on recruiting visits as KU eyes Mike Lee and Aaron Miles amid other program interest.
