Wempe and Johnson Pick KU Over Other Schools
Lawrence High School standouts Steve D. Johnson and Steve Wempe sign Big Eight letters to attend Kansas University. They cite KU interest, size fit, and program enthusiasm, noting only 35 players recruited this season and KU’s growing momentum as reasons for choosing KU over Missouri, Nebraska, CSU Fort Collins, Wichita, and others. Both plan to study and play sports. Wempe aims for pre law and Johnson for business education.
