The Kansas Jayhawks will try to blend
young talent with a few familiar faces S3
try to dethrone Oklahoma for the
1984-85 Biz Elht backstbaH champion
ship. After guiding his team to a 22-10 record
and NCAA tournament appearance last
year, second year coach Larry Drown
went far and wide to recruit some speedy
freshmen. Brown has several racehorses
on hand this year.
Brown's biggest recruiting catch b
Danny Manning, a 6-11 forward from
Lawrence, Kan. (formerly of Greensboro,
N.C.). Many observers have called Man
ning the best college prospect In the
nation. If Manning doesn't start at first,
he should move into the lineup early in
the season, Brown said.
"Well be awfully good even if he doesn't
start," Brown said. "But it's safe to say
right now that Danny will start for us."
Other freshmen who are expected to
help: Milton Newton, a 6-4 guard from
Washington, D.C.; Tyrone Jones, a 6-6
forward t orn Washington; Antonio Camp
bell, a 6-1 guard from St. Louis; Anthony
Hull, a 6-9 forward from Chicago; and
freshmen redshirts Jim Pelton and Chris
Piper.
The new recruits will Join several key
holdovers. 7-1 junior center Greg Drciling
returns, along with Calvin Thompson, a
6-6 forward, who averaged 11.3 points
and 3.1 rebounds per game last season.
Mark Turgccn and Cedric Hunter give the
Jayhawks two proven guards, and Omaha
forward Ron Kello could crack the
starting lineup.
Brown said he's optimistic about the
season, but cautioned KU fans not to
expect too much from the young Jay-
hawks early in the season. The non
conference schedule is sprinkled with
toughies: Houston, Kentucky, Maryland,
Memphis State, Wichita State and Michi
gan, among others.
"We play a lot of great teams," Brown
said. "But we don't worry about who we
play or where we play them."
Brown said he likes to play tough teams
early in the season because it readies his
team for the Big Eight schedule.
"Well have as tough a schedule as
anybody," he said. "I Just hope we dont
lose confidence. I Just want to see this
team play as well as we're capable of
playing."
Brown said the Jayhawks have been
inconsistent In pre-season practices.
Much of that inconsistency is coming
from the freshmen, he said, who arc still
trying to adjust to a new system.
"They really haven't Jumped out at
you," Brown said of his young players. "It's
going to take them a while to get going."
Brown said he plans to use most of the
youngsters sparingly at first, but said
they shorJd work into the lineup a3 the
season progresses.

"We dont' have a thing to prove but
everything to gain," said University of
Kansas women's head basketball coach
Marian Washington. And with one senior,
one junior, two sophomores and eight
freshmen that's about the only attitude a
team as young as KU can have.
The Jayhawks tied for fifth in the Big
Eight last year ending the season at
11-16.
The havks suffered one substantial
loss because of graduation that of All
Big Eight performer Angie Snyder.
Another All-Big Eight performer, Vickie
Adkins, returns to anchor the KU squad.
Adkins lead the conference in rebound
ing at 9.9 per game and her 16.9 points
per game ranked her 6th among the con
ferences top scorers. In addition, she
earned a spot on the Kodak All-Regional
team.
Sole senior Mary Myers returns to guard
spot averaging 8.3 points and a team
leading 55 steals in her junior campaign.
Rounding out the KU upperclassmen
a
h
are a pair of sophomores: Toni Webb, 3.6
points 1.5 rebounds; and Evette Ott 5.7
points and 2.5 rebounds.
"We've been working very hard to
develop a good solid foundation and with
these eight freshmen I believe weVe done
that " Washington said.
With the eight frosh, at least one will
have to fulfill a starting role, but Washing
ton believes that most all will see some
extended playing time before the season
is over.
"With each game well have to experi
ment with different combinations until
we can find a set that works real well,"
Washington said.
The top freshmen candidates are Lisa
Doherty, Jackie Martin and 6-5 Kelly
Jennings.
"With such a young team, if we're
patient we're going to have a lot to look
forward to in the future," Washington
said. ' Our inexperience is our greatest
weakness, but we have some great ath
letes who have good overall quickness
and great desire, they are a close unit
with a good team attitude."
In addition to the tough conference
games, Kansas will play Vanderbilt, Drake,
and Louisiana Tech all are ranked in
the top 20.
