Four greats, but only two move on in our The Best Tournament
In our 100 Days until Kansas football countdown last summer, we ranked the best players to wear certain numbers as a Jayhawk. This summer, we’re taking the top 23 in that group and adding a current Jayhawk and squaring them off against each other in a knockout style tournament. Each of our writers will have a vote in the competition and so will you, the fan, here and through our social media accounts . The winner in the fan vote will be counted as equal to the vote of each of our contributors.
