LAWRENCE – Play four years at Kansas with the kind of consistency and productivity Perry Ellis provides and the frequent exposure leads to wisecracks.

Social media gladly accommodates such snark, which builds with each game Ellis plays as a senior and each hairline that recedes on his scalp.

“You see it on Twitter sometimes,’’ said teammate Jamari Traylor, “where they photo-shop his head on Wilt Chamberlain, or when they changed his Wikipedia page to where he was born sometime when Phog Allen would have been his coach.’’

The Wikipedia alteration was Ellis’ personal favorite, which means the senior forward probably managed a quick smile, maybe even the slightest smirk.
