With Marcus Adams Jr.’s departure, the Kansas men's basketball roster is now as thin as it has been at any point this summer, and it’s almost August. No need to panic — the Jayhawks’ remaining group of scholarship players still has a case to be the best in the country — but 10 scholarship athletes don’t provide much protection against a possible injury, especially when one, Zach Clemence, is ...
It's in July, it's in Wichita and the players are just a bit older, to put it generously. Ultimately, it's still Kansas vs. Missouri.
