KU freshman Josh Selby will not return next season
Guard announces plans on Twitter page

Kansas University freshman guard Josh Selby announced on his Twitter page Thursday afternoon that he would not return to KU next season and, instead, would try his luck in the NBA.

The announcement spanned two posts and said: "I want to thank all the ku fans who supported me through everything and all the fans who (are) doubting me. I will miss the the fieldhouse. #KU."

Selby continued: "But it's a new journey in my life now. I will not return to Kansas next year. Making my dream a reality. #NBA baby."

The Baltimore native gave no indication of whether he already had hired an agent or if he planned to. Calls to Selby and his mother were not immediately returned.

Stay in touch with KUsports.com throughout the afternoon for more details.

if Elijah Johnson can get his head together in the games, nobody would ever miss Selby. Johnson has all of the abilities, but just doesn't seem to have those basketball smarts.

When the hell is the remaining recruiting class going to commit? Is there is a date they have to commit by?

Kansas freshman guard Royce Woolridge will seek a transfer from KU, his mother, Victoria, confirmed Friday.

"This is amicable. Royce will be transferring," Victoria told the Journal-World Friday afternoon. "There's not a bad reason for this. Royce came at a time there were a lot of seniors in front of him. He wants to play now. He and coach Self came to an understanding. We have some options (of other schools) that we will look at because Royce really wants to play right now."

Woolridge, a 6-foot-3, 182-pound guard from Phoenix, Ariz., played in 16 games, averaging 0.6 points while making 3 of 12 shots with nine assists, eight rebounds and four turnovers.

"I want to stress there's no better fans than (at) Kansas," Victoria said. "You have the greatest fans in America. They stood behind Royce after he signed and after he got there. We have nothing against Kansas. We will miss everyone tremendously."

woolridge couldn't even see the court more than the walk-on guys. It's probably best for him to move on.

got 3 openings now?

Saw on cbssports we're one of the two remaining school for a 6'10" forward transferring from LaSalle. He'd have two years of eligibility left after sitting out a year.

LaSalle's Murray likely choices Kansas, West Virginia

LaSalle big man Aaric Murray is likely to transfer to either Kansas or West Virginia, several sources confirmed late Saturday night.

There is no timetable to when an official decision will be made.

The 6-foot-10 Murray will have two years of eligibility remaining but must sit out next season per NCAA rules.

The value of Murray to both the Jayhawks and the Mountaineers would be monumental. Should the power forward wind up with the Jayhawks, he would give Bill Self a ready-made product to step in for Thomas Robinson after next season when Robinson is expected to leave for the NBA.

Meanwhile, a marriage between Murray and the fans of Morgantown would give Bob Huggins an heir apparent to Kevin Jones at power forward.

Last season for LaSalle, Murray averaged 15.2 points per game and 7.7 rebounds per game while notching seven double-doubles.

Josh Selby’s jump to pros might help KU basketball recruiting
By Gary Bedore

College basketball recruiting notes ...

Kansas University freshman Josh Selby’s decision to enter the 2011 NBA Draft may have helped the Jayhawks in the Trevor Lacey recruiting sweepstakes, Rivals.com recruiting analyst Jerry Meyer says.

Lacey, a high-scoring, deadly shooting 6-foot-3, 200-pound combo guard from Huntsville (Ala.) Butler High, has a final list of KU, Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky, UConn and North Carolina State, which is now led by former Alabama coach Mark Gottfried.

“The (KU) roster now has a gaping void at the shooting guard position and Lacey would fill that need nicely,” Meyer wrote. “He has a superb basketball IQ, is physically ready and is an outstanding long-distance shooting threat off the catch.

“There is no doubt that instant playing time is a major factor in Lacey's decision, but Kansas faces heavy competition for Lacey. Alabama — Lacey’s ‘backyard’ school — is in need of shooters and has available playing time. Kentucky has developed a strong relationship with Lacey, and if Brandon Knight leaves school, Lacey could very well end up in Lexington,” Meyer added.

The No. 34-rated Lacey, who averaged 31.4 points a game last season, was scheduled to be on Alabama’s campus this weekend. He has said he would like to fit in a recruiting trip to KU in coming weeks, before the May 18 end of the spring recruiting period.

“It (visit to KU) is definitely going to happen before I make my decision. I’ve seen the reports that I’m favoring a couple of schools, but that isn’t true,” Lacey told Rivals.com before the Alabama visit.

“My interest in Kansas is serious. Coach (Bill) Self is a great coach, Kansas is a winning program and they’ve got playing time available for me. A few guys are graduating and the Morris twins are leaving early, so I could step in and play right away. Kansas is a great program and something I’m seriously considering.”

Lacey and Ronald Steele are the only two players in Alabama prep history to win two Mr. Basketball awards from the Alabama Sports Writers Association. Lacey is the only player to compete on three state title teams.

Butler coach Jack Doss told The Birmingham News he’s not expecting a Lacey decision anytime soon. It’s been speculated that Lacey may want to wait until after the April 24 deadline for college underclassmen to enter the NBA Draft.

“We don’t talk much about recruiting,” Doss told the News. “I coached his dad and taught his mom. He’s got plenty of people who can help him.”

The Birmingham paper indicated Alabama and Kentucky are believed Lacey’s favorites. The News indicated that Alabama A&M, which is looking for a new coach, might become a contender if coach Doss was hired at that school.

“I wouldn't turn him down if he wanted to come,” he told the paper.

Daniels visits Duke: No. 9-rated DeAndre Daniels, a 6-8 senior from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., was slated to be on Duke’s campus this weekend. He’s also considering KU, Kentucky, Texas and Oregon.

“It’s still wide-open. He has no favorite,” IMG director of basketball Andy Borman told the Lexington Herald-Leader. Borman said he expected Daniels to make a college choice sometime after the visit to Duke.

"How soon after that, I don't know," he told the Herald-Leader.

[Ceej]

Any word as to why he's transferring? LaSalle fire their coach or something? Also, how often does a "mid-major" players transfer to a BCS school? Just seems a little odd to me.
