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.
