Editor’s note, 5:35 p.m. Monday, Sept. 24: This story has been updated from the original post to reflect that the Jayhawks’ training with The Program will no longer be held this week.
Kansas basketball officials announced late Monday afternoon that the Jayhawks’ upcoming session with The Program, slated for Wednesday and Thursday in Lawrence, had been postponed.
Instead, the Jayhawks will conclude Bill Self’s boot camp on Tuesday and begin practicing for the 2018-19 season on Wednesday.
When asked for clarity on the scheduling change, a KU basketball spokesman said The Program instructors still could come to Lawrence to work with the Jayhawks at some point this season but will not be coming this week. No new date for the two-day conditioning which was slated for Wednesday and Thursday has been scheduled at this time.
KU, of course, on Friday will officially tip off the 2018-19 season with its annual Late Night in the Phog celebration at Allen Fieldhouse.
Late Night is slated to begin at 6:30 p.m. Friday and will feature all of the normal skits and entertainment along with a men’s basketball scrimmage to cap off the event.
