Did Kellis tip off the NCAA re: Pullen?

MANHATTAN — Go ahead and stare at the ground. Gawk if you like. Jacob Pullen doesn't mind.

Kansas State's junior guard wants you to notice his shoes.

Before every game he plays, Pullen goes through a long, intricate process to decide what kicks to wear. Style, color, design, they're all important. The goal is to make a fashion statement.

"I need to know what jersey we're wearing," Pullen said. "If we're wearing white jerseys, I'm wearing black shoes. If we're wearing dark jerseys, I'm wearing white shoes. I learned a long time ago you can't wear the same color. They blend in. I can't have that. I want my shoes to stand out."

Few elite college basketball players put so much thought into the shoes they wear. Because of apparel contracts and uniformity, a majority of them wear only what their coaches supply. But that would never fly with Pullen.

The Wildcats' leading scorer collects athletic shoes — mostly basketball — as a hobby. He owns more than 100 pairs, and is always looking to add more. He spends much of his free time scouring the Internet to find deals and release dates, and watches NBA games to check out the latest styles.

"If they look good to me, I try to get them," Pullen said. "If they feel comfortable to me, then I'll wear them in a game."

Then, there's this incriminating photo:

Dillard's doesn't sell hardly any of those.

That is hardly the only article to reference Jake's shoe collection either.

I just think anyone that plays bball at ksu should be forced to give up their right to take pictures.

I don't think anyone who plays football for KU should have to give up their right to cell phones or talking to females.

Never said I was quitting anything, I said this board was dying.  CCCC alum?

I am going to go ahead and believe Kellis tipped off the NCAA on this and unleash hell on him from sec 17 tonight.
