Does anyone know which Jayhawks are eligible for future enshrinement?
I’d imagine Frank Mason for his consensus national player of the year.
Devonte Graham, Ochai Agbaji, and Jaylen Wilson were consensus first team all America players.
Udoka Azubuike was first team all America as well.
Also of note Adonis Jordan and Tyshawn Taylor are top 10 for assists at KU. Eric Chenowith top 5 in rebounds. Perry Ellis top 10 in scoring.
Current players that meet the requirements that aren't already retired are Jalen Wilson (2023 Consensus 1st team All-American), Ochai Agbaji (2022 Final Four MOP), Devonte Graham (2018 Big 12 POY), and Frank Mason (2017 NPOY). There may be some other eligible players from before anyone here was alive, but those I believe are the 4 recent players who will eventually receive that honor.
I seem to recall Bill Self saying he would advocate for Big Dave to have his jersey retired, given that he should have been the final four MOP.
Ochai getting the MOP was laziness. Shoulda been Dave, no doubt.

The standards have been loosened. It used to be next to impossible- 3x all America or POY maybe MOP too. Now it’s consequences All America POY, MOP and not sure what else qualifies. Academic all America?
I don’t know if McCormack meets the qualifications, though he was integral to the 2022 championship. Could’ve come back for another year, that might have helped him qualify - or maybe he does? 🤷‍♂️ that’s a good one.
