KANSAS DIVISION I Basketball Players                                                    HOME                                 Update: August 31, 2010 

  The list below documents Kansas high school graduates who had significant playing time at a NCAA Division I program.  Significant playing time is counted as 40 or more game appearances and/or 100 or more career points.   I have found some players from the 1930s - 1950s that had at least one season where they were starters and then returned to the bench when better players joined the Varsity. This happened a lot after WW II. So, I am listing those players that were at least part of the starting line-up for at least one season.  I am going to list a few select players from the era prior to and including WW II. These players made significant contributions - but may not have played 40 games or scored 100 points in their college career. In some cases, I had to guess at the year of high school graduation.  

  This list is not complete by any means - please contact me via e-mail (see home page) if you have any other candidates and I will check it out.
