Bulldog Downs: Former Kansas freshman guard Micah Downs may be on his way to Gonzaga, according to rumors circulating in Lawrence. A radio report said the Washington native is returning to his home state to join the Bulldogs, who don’t have an available scholarship for Downs. Although the school would not be able to pay Downs’ tuition, he still could join the team as a walk-on until a scholarship becomes available. Downs played a little more than 10 minutes per game for the Jayhawks, but he sought a larger role. Downs averaged 4.3 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. Based on those statistics, Downs would have averaged about 22 points per game if he played 40 minutes.
Update: Downs has officially joined the Bulldogs and will sit out this semester and the first semester of next season. He will be eligible to play for Gonzaga by the end of December. [1/31/06]
