Honestly, Im not even sure Self wants all these top 3 recruits - a significant chunk are more trouble than they are worth. He wants a mature team, not to copy PayPal Cal's revolving door.

You're right, it's not much of a cost. Although when a guy like Tarc takes 7 visits, you have to think the school is spending quite a bit of time and effort on him. As to what Self wants, he clearly wants top-3 guys because he's recruiting them.
In the 2005 mega-class for KU, when you strip out those early NBA entrants, Self signed:
3. Wright
6. Chalmers
7. Rush
14. Downs
