Jayhawks’ fans were hit hard with the departure of Ben Heeney, who may end up as an all-time great at Kansas. And to make matters worse, Jake Love looked to be the “next man up,” and he retired from football after the 2014 season.
Kansas seems to be left with little promise at the linebacker spot, as they will need magical seasons from Courtney Arnick and/or Kyron Watson to keep them afloat.
