Original Post:

Last week, newcomers Perry Ellis and Andrew White teamed with veterans Jeff Withey and Justin Wesley to steal the spotlight at the first edition of Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self’s summer camp scrimmage between the current players and whatever alums happen to be in town.

That game, which featured former KU standouts Aaron Miles, Julian Wright, Jeff Hawkins and Brady Morningstar came down to the final few minutes, with the blue squad picking up a come-from-behind victory against the red team.

We’re not sure yet what the rosters for today’s scrimmage will look like but it’s believed that Keith Langford (who scored 47 last week in the Rock Chalk Roundball Classic) will be playing and current Jayhawk Kevin Young also should be on the floor. Young just returned from Puerto Rico, where he tried out for the Puerto Rican Olympic team.

Here’s the blurb from Gary Bedore about Young’s travels:

KU senior forward Kevin Young said he enjoyed competing with the likes of J.J. Barea (Minnesota, NBA), Shabazz Napier (UConn), Mike Rosario (Florida) and Renaldo Balkman (South Carolina) at the recent Puerto Rico national team tryouts.

“It was fun. I learned a lot. I think I grew a lot as a player, too,” said Young, who was one of 12 players asked to play in a tournament this week in Puerto Rico, but was told he would be bumped from the Olympic team once several Puerto Rican pro players reported to camp.

“I worked on my shot, my handles a bit. Hopefully I’ll show a little bit of improvement when I get back in the gym, today,” Young added.

Young said he will try to make the Olympic team in 2016. “I’ll go back next year for the world championships,” he said. “I really didn’t get an answer what I need to improve on, the reason I was cut, what I didn’t do right. Hopefully I can change it next time I go down there.”

KU coach Self said he heard Young played well at tryouts.

“The last game he plays five minutes, gets eight points, four rebounds, is 2-2 from three which I was kind of excited to hear about. Kevin will have a good year this year because he’s going to be a lot more comfortable,” Self said.

Stay tuned throughout the afternoon for updates from the scrimmage. We’ll post the lineups for each side as soon as we get a look at the lineups for each side.

Stay tuned…
