Where Are They Today
 
     I am sure I have missed someone who is on a Division 1 team somewhere. If you know a Kansas high school player who is now on a Division 1 roster, please email me and we will add them to the list. I thought by listing these players who are out of state, we would not forget them, and maybe see them in a game on TV............................................................I have 48 guys on my list. When you count K-State has 53 Kansans and KU has 32 Kansans and we have 48 out of state Division 1 players that comes to 133  guys. You divide 133 by 5 years of eligibility and we are averaging 27 Division 1 kids a year. I think that is pretty good for Kansas!
