Kansas junior RB James Sims announced that he will return to school for his final season.
Earlier in the season, head coach Charlie Weis called Sims the best running back in the Big 12, and with more wins (resulting in more attention) the soon-to-be senior could prove that. He does have some off-field issues that led to a suspension, but Sims is a bigger back that is at his best when breaking tackles. Tue, Dec 18, 2012 09:33:00 AM

James Sims - RB - Jayhawks

Kansas junior RB James Sims rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries Saturday against Texas Tech.

Sims added another two catches for eight yards and a touchdown. Head coach Charlie Weis called Sims the best back in the Big 12, and although we like Oklahoma State's Joseph Randle more, Sims is very solid.

James Sims - RB - Jayhawks

Kansas head coach Charlie Weis believes that junior James Sims is the Big 12's best RB.

"I don’t know if there’s a better back in this league," Weis said. "If they exist, I have not seen them yet." We like Sims's vision and patience, and both have helped him reach 622 yards and five touchdowns in just five games. However, the junior does run a bit upright and was suspended for the first three games of the season following an offseason arrest.

Kansas running back James Sims is suspended for the first three games of the 2012 season following his arrest.

The suspension comes a couple of days following Sims’ arrest for driving under the influence. The Jayhawks’ leading rusher in 2011 with 727 yards will miss games against San Diego State, Rice and TCU, all at home.

James Sims - RB - Jayhawks

Running back James Sims was arrested on DUI charges early Sunday.

On the field, Sims is one of the few bright spots that new coach Charlie Weis inherited. Sims led the team last season with 729 yards rushing (4.0 ypc) and 9 touchdowns. He posted nearly identical numbers as a freshman in 2010 when he ran for 742 yards (4.4 ypc) and 9 TDs.
