LOSSES FROM LAST YEAR ('61 stats):
PRESEASON OUTLOOK:
Losses from the 1961 team were substantial, including
All-Americans Bill Bridges and Wayner Hightower, who both went
on to lengthy and productive pro careers. Dee Ketchum and Butch
Ellison graduated and Al Correll redshirted. The incoming
recruiting class was very weak, so coach Harp had to include a
couple of football players, quarterback Lee Flachsbarth and
tight end Derrill Gwinner.Other than nifty guards, Jerry
Gardner and Nolen Ellison, the Hawks were very short-handed and
small (the two largest players were 6'6, sharing time at
Center). |
SEASON SUMMARY:
In 1961-62, KU fell to 7-18 overall and 3-11 in the
conference, tying for seventh place. It
was the most losses in a season in KU history and the lowest a KU team would
finish in the conference standings until 1983.
