LOSSES FROM LAST YEAR ('75 stats):
PRESEASON OUTLOOK:
With the departure of 5 seniors and VonMoore having to redshirt,
the Jayhawks start the year with a very young and inexperienced
team. Only five players return from last year, and only
three have any starting experience. Lacking any seniors on
the team, junior forward Norm Cook and sophomores Clint Johnson
and Ken Koenigs emerge as the leaders of the team. Juco transfer
Herb Nobles and freshman Paul Mokeski will be counted on to be
starters. Unfortunately, the team only looks to be six
deep. |
SEASON SUMMARY:
Donnie Von Moore, 6'9 junior forward/center, missed the entire 1975-76
campaign with illness after serving as a part-time starter on the Jayhawks' Big
Eight championship club of 1974-75. Von Moore contracted pneumonia in late
November and then suffered complications that resulted in surgery and a lengthy
recovery period.Paul Mokeski, 7'0 sophomore center, suffered a severely pulled hamstring on
Thanksgiving Day attempting to get out of a Volkswagon. The pull was
almost a tear and Mokeski's varsity debut came nearly a month later in the Big
Eight Christmas Tournament
