Conclusion

I knew KU was one of the best programs in college basketball history (obviously), but it brings a whole new perspective to it when you put something like this together. The 23 players on this list make up a total of 16 All-American selections, 39 All-Big 12 teams, 10 Big 12 Player of the Year awards, and six Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year awards. Kansas fans are absolutely spoiled when it comes to their basketball team and the amount of talent that they can bring through the program.
