LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas guard Elmarko Jackson has torn his patellar tendon during a scrimmage at Jayhawks coach Bill Self's basketball camp. Jackson started 17 games as a freshman and was expected to be a big contributor this coming season. The school said he will have surgery in the next few days but the rehab process is likely to take a full year. That is a significant blow to the backcourt of the Jayhawks, whom many expect to be the No. 1 team in the preseason AP Top 25.
