Several former Kansas University basketball players will participate in the Rock Chalk Roundball Classic at 7 p.m. Thursday at Free State High.

Some former Jayhawks expected to attend: Brennan Bechard, Greg Gurley, Darnell Jackson, Sasha Kaun, Matt Kleinmann, Christian Moody, Russell Robinson, Wayne Simien, Bud Stallworth, Rodrick Stewart, Billy Thomas and Stephen Vinson.

The game is expected to take an hour. There will be autographs afterward and a raffle of the competitors’ jerseys. Other items will be included in the raffle. Admission is $5.
