Luke Axtell named to All-Star team
The Jayhawks Luke Axtell is set to resume his college basketball career as a member of the Big 12 Men's All-Star Team.
His family announced in May that Axtell had completely recovered from the medical condition declining to disclose the nature of the illness and would return to the University for his senior year.
The 6-foot-10 senior guard/forward from Austin, Texas — who left the University and the court last season after 20 games because of an undisclosed illness — was one of 12 players picked to play six games in Austria and Slovakia during August.
Before leaving the team early last season, Axtell averaged 8.7 points and 2.8 rebounds off the bench. In February, he was granted medical leave and spent the rest of the spring semester in Austin.

"Obviously this is an honor," Axtell said. "I'm looking forward not only to the experience of playing basketball on this team, but also the experience of going overseas and seeing some new places."
"This experience will help me prepare for next season in that it will be a high level of competition," he said. "I've been playing a lot, though, and I think I'm already in playing shape."

Formally applying for the draft eliminated Stevenson's NCAA eligibility.
Designed for people who
After coach Roy Williams spent two years recruiting — and eventually signing — Stevenson, the 6-foot-5 McDonald's All-American decided to register for the NBA draft, breaking his letter of intent with Kansas.
When faced with retaking the test to verify his score — which was red-flagged after improving 700 points from his first attempt — Stevenson finally decided to eat for the June NBP and drunkenness.
Though Kansas will have Axtell back in uniform, the team lost star recruit DeShawn Stevenson and junior guard Marlon London.
If Stevenson is picked in the first round of the draft, he would land a guaranteed contract. Otherwise, he would have to be on
Designed for people who
In March, Stevenson, from Fresno, Calif., had reversed his original decision to head straight for the NBA when he found out his latest SAT scores qualified him for the NCAA.
The last Big 12 All-Star team, which included Kansas center Eric Chenowith, went 4-2 while touring London, Paris, Belgium and Germany.

London, a 6-foot-4 junior guard from Broadview, Ill., said in May that he planned to transfer to DePaul to be closer to his family, which lives in a Chicago suburb. London played 16 minutes per game last season, averaging 3.2 points and 2.4 rebounds.
