Top freshmen class to aid cage program
By GINO STRIPPOLI

But Ted Owens and his staff have brought in one of the top freshman classes in the country and a transfer student who finished seventh in the country in rebounding two years ago. The team came fourth, contender now in the Big Eight race.
NO MATTER who the Jayhawks brought in though, they will definitely miss the play and leadership of Guy and Maglev.
After losing Tony Gay and David Magley, most Jaiyawk fans must_ave thought that the bottom of the basketball program had dropped out. Not only was Kansas losing its top two players, but it was also coming off one of its worst seasons ever, finishing 13-14 over all. A-10 in the Bie Eight conference.
Guy, a second round selection by the Boston Celtics in the NBA draft, led the team in assists with 103, was second on the team with an average of 14.9 points and a career-high 68.5 assists. Was a pressason All-American pick, but could never shake a season-long slump.
Magley, a second round selection by the Cleveland Cavaliers, led the Jayhawks in almost every offensive category. Magley led the team in scoring and rebounding, averaging 17.3 points and 8.4 rebounds per contest. He also led the league in field goals and goal percentage, free throw percentage, blocked shots and steals. Magley was selected to the UPI All-Big Eight team.
The Jayhawks have seven returning lettermen that Owens hopes will lead the Kansas resurgence. They are Tad Boyle, Jeff Dishman, Mark Ewing, Lance Hill, Kelly Knight, Brian Martin and Mark Summers.
BOYLE STARTED 21 of the 27 KU games during the 1981-82 season. He averaged only 2.9 points a game, but was second on the team behind Guy with 79 assists. He was third on the team in steals with 26.
HILL, WHO played in 25 games, starting five of them, should battle Boyle for the point guard position. Hill averaged 3.6 points per game and had
Dishman started all 27 games for the Jayhawks, finishing second behind Magley in rebounding with 159. Dishman helped the Jayhawks considerably on the boards especially when Knight went out with an injury. Dishman, who is one of four seniors on this year's squad, will be expected to bring leadership and a lot of rebounding to this year's team.
47 assists last year. His best game was against Oklahoma State, when he came off the bench to spark the Jayhawks past the Cowboys.
Henry a transfer from Oklahoma City, averaged 19 points and 11.7 rebounds per game as a sophomore. He was first队 selection in the Midwest, and was ranked seventh in the nation in rebounding and 20th in scoring in 1981.
Knight had a solid year for the Jayhawks, but was bothered by an ankle injury most of the season. Knight averaged 12.4 points and 5.6 rebounds a game. He also had 13 blocked shots and 13 steals for the Jayhawks. Kansas will need a healthy Knight to be competitive this season.
The five newcomers to the Kansas team should add depth and most of the players have a chance of seeing a lot of action. The five newcomers are Carl Henry, Kerry Boagni, Jeff Guiot, Ron Kellogg and Vinil Thompson.
SUMMERS PLAYED in 21 games last year starting two of them. Summers gives Owens some added bus underneath the boards, which the Jawahors desperately needed last year. Summers averaged 1.5 points a game and had 22 rebounds during the 1981-82 season.
Brian Martin did a good job last year coming off the bench and during the four startts that he made. Martin went to the boards very strong, but was four prone. Despite averaging only 18 points a game, he fouled out of four contests. Martin averaged 3.6 points in game and collected 80 rebounds.
BOAGNI MAY be the prize of the freshmen class. Boagni averaged 24 points and 15.6 rebounds a game during his senior year at Serra high in Gardena, Calif. Boagni, who had first selected UCLA but then signed with Kansas, was an All-State and All-America selection.
Guot averaged 24 points and nine assists a contest at Chanute High. He was a two sport All-State selection, winning the honors in both basketball and football. He will play only basketball at KU.

Kellogg is another All-State, All-America selection. Kellogg from Northwest High in Omaha, averaged 21 points and 10 rebounds a game during his senior campaign. Noted for his outing, he will help Kansas at the guard position.
Thompson, from Wyandotte High in Kansas City, Kan., averaged 21 points per game. He led a team to a second place finish in the Kansas State Tournament.
