limited play time until the Midwest Regional against Notre Dame, when he came in and did a good job of running the Jayhawk offense. Owens said Gibson would play the point guard in the KU system, leaving Johnson free to play the wing.
"Milts a good penetrating guard, and we
lack that last life." Owens said. "He
could have done it better."
At 6-4-0, Shelton gives the Jayhawks a big guard who is capable of doing a lot of things. He was redshirt last year, after he was selected by the JV. He averaged 14.9 points for the JV.
ALSO RETURNING IS Cris Barmhouse, a solid performer on the junior varsity team. Owens said that Barmhouse would be used either at forvard or guard and that Brad Sanders, a recruit from Leavenworth, would play the other position.
Sanders, 6-foot-6, averaged 28.1 points and 11 rebounds last year at Leavenworth. A consensus all-state performer, Sanders broke Clinton Johnson's single game scoring record with a 44-point game against Topeka Hayden.
At this time, Owens said, he planned to choose two starters from the list of forwards, two from the list of guards and one center.
"It's important to remember that these are only my thoughts as of the first day of practice," Owens cautioned. "I'll have to tell you about this next week and I may have to make some changes."
"If Mokesi and Von More are playing well at the same time, we'll have both of them in the lineup. It's the same way with our three forwards and our three guards. To get to the maximum playing time for the players performing best at that time."
With only 10 players on the roster, it would seem that Kansas might have some chance. But the state's top-ranked team
"PROVIDED WE DON'T have any in-person classes, we purposely tried to keep the numbers fairly low. It's much easier to teach with not as many people. I believe it builds greater team morale when everybody thinks they can win. But it's just not possible with a lot of players."
KU doesn't have a cook on the roster this year. Co-captains Cook and Shelton will be counted on to provide the leadership. But Owens is pleased with his young team.
It won't take long for Owens to find out just how good his team is. KU faces a tough December schedule with Kentucky and Notre Dame included, and Owens should learn a lot by the time the Big Eight race starts.
The conference race won't exactly be a piece of cake either. Kansas State, Missouri, Iowa and Iowa State all bid for botsavers, veterans, including most of their starters.
It all adds up to a big challenge for the *oyahawa* to reequip a conference champion.
