They are down to their top 11 players. Since 11 guys play on the field and some of us enjoy the opportunity to think that we can be better sportswriters than Keegan, let's see how much we can piece together the rest of the list, for fun. I'll update the list, as they reveal them.
Reminder:This is not a list of the 25 best players on this year’s team. That would be much easier to pinpoint and, although still key, would not exactly demonstrate the full value that each player has in regard to the 2016 season.
This is a list of the 25 players who need to have strong seasons in order for the Jayhawks to have a chance to compete.
Tom Keegan and I came up with the list by each making our own list of 25 and then combining the results. We did the same thing for the last two years, but the amount of fresh faces made this list much tougher to put together.
- RB Ke'aun Kinner
- LB Joe Dineen
- DT Daniel Wise
- QB Ryan Willis
- OL D'Andre Banks
- OL Clyde McCauley
- QB Montell Cozart
- WR Jeremiah Booker
- CB Brandon Stewart
- S Fish Smithson
- DT D.J. Williams
- LB Marcquis Roberts
- TE Ben Johnson
- OL Jordan Shelley-Smith
- DB Tevin Shaw
