LAWRENCE — Josh Jackson is already a campus celebrity, something the Kansas basketball freshman admits makes him a little uneasy.
That reality became apparent during a bizarre encounter recently with one of the Jayhawk faithful.
Jackson was driving home through campus when suddenly a man opened his Hummer's passenger-side door, startling him. As Jackson explained the events Thursday afternoon at KU men’s basketball media day, the man soon realized who was behind the wheel.
“Oh crap, it’s Josh Jackson!” the man shouted. “Can you give me a ride home?”
“And I was like, ‘No, I don’t even know you,’” Jackson recalled.
