AMES, Iowa — After assembling his first recruiting class roughly seven months earlier, new Kansas coach Mark Mangino promised opportunities as he took over the Jayhawks.
“I don’t care if a young man’s a freshman or a fifth-year senior,’’ Mangino said. “If a guy’s ready to play and compete at this level, we’re going to play him. We’re not going to worry about seniority.’’
Mangino’s debut was proof Kansas was short on talent.
