Kansas Jayhawks hope for good news on player eligibility

The Kansas Jayhawks are still waiting to hear whether recruit Braeden Anderson will be eligible this year. This come after learning that Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor were cleared to enroll and attend classes.

Coach Bill Self said this week that the NCAA is still reviewing academic materials related to Anderson, McLemore and Traylor.

Anderson is a 6-foot-8 forward from Calgary, Alberta, McLemore is a 6-foot-5 guard from St. Louis and Traylor is a 6-foot-7 forward from Chicago.

The Jayhawks hope to hear good news because they will need all three of these recruits. Last year the Jayhawks lost two players to the NBA and three to graduation. That means the only returning players with significant experience are point guard Tyshawn Taylor and Thomas Robinson.
