The Jayhawks, who defeated Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Missouri and Nebraska en route to the team’s first Big 12 title, compiled a 43-25 record last season and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.

Former KU standouts Don Czyz, Sean Land, Gus Milner, Ritchie Price, Kodiak Quick and Jared Schweitzer who were all drafted by Major League clubs after last season, are expected to be on hand along with the rest of the 2006 Jayhawks.
