Quite a story, hope it all works out for them. Think there should be some exceptions in this case for sure.
He's the one Jayhawk who wasn't here Tuesday taking part in KU's 82-78 win over Colorado. He was instead back home in Washington D.C. biding his time between funerals. He buried his grandmother three weeks ago, buried his grandfather Tuesday, and he'll now bury his 37-year-old mother, Lisa Robinson, on Thursday. She died of an apparent heart attack last Friday night. Thomas' little sister, a second-grader named Jayla, was the person who called Thomas to deliver the news because there was, quite simply, nobody else to make the call.
Nobody wanted to talk specifics on the record out of respect for the family, but it's already clear there are no shortage of people -- KU coaches, KU boosters, etc., -- willing to, with the proper blessings, become Jayla's legal guardian and move her close to her brother. That's an option being discussed, but there are hurdles that must first be cleared because a KU coach or booster financially assisting a relative of a KU student-athlete would technically be a violation of NCAA rules.
Quite a story, hope it all works out for them. Think there should be some exceptions in this case for sure.
