I figured one of the all-time great Jayhawks deserved his own memorial thread. Great player, great Jayhawk, great person.
"Walt Wesley, a member of Kansas’ 1965-66 conference championship team and one of the legendary Jayhawks whose jerseys hang in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse, died Thursday morning in Tampa, Florida, KU Athletics announced. He was 79."

Walt Wesley RIP
Re: Walt Wesley RIP
Walt ( 6 foot 11 ) played from 64 to 66.
He was a 2nd team All American.
A 2 time B8 1st teamer.
He was cheated out of a Final Four in his senior season when the officials called Jo Jo out of bounds.
Walt's career stats:
19.3 PPG, 8.3 RPG, 2.8 APG.

Re: Walt Wesley RIP
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
