Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins, whose names are often mentioned in the same breath — at least the same sentence — for their contributions on the same Kansas basketball teams, will have their jerseys retired in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse during a three-day span in mid-February.
“This is really cool. Sherron and I have been friends and are kind of tied to each other like Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich in a way. You think of one and you think of the other,” eight-year NBA veteran center Aldrich told The Star on Wednesday in a phone conversation from Detroit, where his Minnesota Timberwolves were preparing to play the Pistons.
