Kansas freshmen Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor are both ineligible to play during the 2011-12 season, Jayhawks coach Bill Self told the Kansas City Star.
Both players can practice beginning the second semester and will be eligible next season, the Star reported. They are considered partial qualifiers.
“We are disappointed, but know that Jamari will do what is necessary to get back on the court as soon as possible,” IMG coach Andy Borman told SNY by text.
The 6-8 Traylor is a Chicago native who finished up at Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academies.
The 6-foot-5 McLemore finished up at Humble (Texas) Christian Life Center after having been kicked out of Oak Hill Academy for a violation of team rules. Former Humble coach Carlos Wilson was not immediately available for comment.
Kansas was already without freshman forward Braedon Anderson, who was ruled ineligible in September.

Jessie and UofA … classy, calling 18 year old kids “low lifes” and questioning their character because of academics. It is pitiful how low people like you stoop to smear other programs. Your obsession with Kansas is pathetic.

Lol. Ya it is funny to me that these idiots can’t get on the court. And what kids are you referring to they are adults and it is pathetic they can’t qualify. But that is how Self recruits he has no morals he has proven that. Sean Miller > bill self
