David McCormack was a four-star recruit part of Kansas basketball’s 2018 recruiting class. He wasn’t expected to play significant minutes in his freshman season, with the Jayhawks returning Udoka Azubuike, Silvio De Sousa, and adding transfer Dedric Lawson.
As we all know, things didn’t play out quite the way everyone expected in the 2018-19 season.
De Sousa was forced to sit due to the NCAA, and the Azubuike injured his wrist just seven games into the season. The loss of those two forced McCormack to step up in a big way as a freshman, and he step up he did.
