The absence of seniors Lynette Woodard and Shebra Legrant will be evident as the women's basketball team faces the task of strengthening their program.
Rebuilding year in store for Javhawks

The Kansas women's basketball team last year hoped for a berth in AIAW final four, but this year with the loss of two outstanding starters, Katherine and Shebra Legrant, Coach Marian Washington is faced with a rebuilding year.
Woodard averaged 24.4 points a game last year and played in every game during her four years here. Nationally she won the most prestigious award for a women athlete, the Wade Trophy. She was a four-time Kodak All-American and played for the 1980 U.S. Olympic team.
Llegan was the No. 2 scorer for Kansas last year with an 18.5 average. Both Llegan and Woodard are winting in their third-round basketball Association draft in September.
Besides losing Woodard and Legrant's offensive punch the Jayhawks also will lose their court leadership.
"Their value was obvious in terms of their skill in the program, but they were just as valuable in the areas of leadership and experience," Washington said.
Another blow to Washington's depleted corps is the loss of guard Mary Myers. Myers is out for the season with a knee injury.
"Myers hurt her knee participating in the National Sports Festival representing the Midwest team in Syracuse, N.Y." Washington said. "She's had surgery and they had totally reconstruct her knee."
The team may also lose center Megan Scott, who is considering transferring to another school.
Washington said Scott might change her major to veterinary medicine and become a physician.
a sophomore last year, averaged 10.5 points a game.
Washington said she hoped that Shyra Holden, a center who had not played since December 1979, would play this year. Holden left the University because of enrollment and academic problems, but Washington said that she might be readmitted this fall.
Washington will have four recruits to help rebuild her team into a national powerhouse. They are, Barbara and Vickie Adkins, Oklahoma City, Okla.; Rose Peeples, Peoria, Ill.; and Angie Snider, Overland Park.
"There are fine, talented young ladies in the program," Washington said. "Kids like Tracy Claxton and the team will bump, but most of the team will be juniors."
"If we get a year of experience the future looks good for us," Washington said.
