KU Faces Frontline Puzzle After Hightower Exit
Wayne Hightower's withdrawal leaves Kansas University basketball with a front line lacking a true center or forward who can provide scoring and rebounding punch. John Matt leads the likely centers with freshmen Baker and Vance backing him, while veterans Correll Heyward Dumas and Gart remain to fill roles. Backcourt looks strong with Gardner Ellison and Marshall, but frontcourt depth and height remain key concerns for 1961-62.
