Source Says Selby To Be A Jayhawk
I really hope this is true.
Source Says Selby To Be A Jayhawk By Chris Resor • on April 15, 2010 A source close to the situation told me on Thursday morning that the #4 player in the class of 2010, according to Rivals, will reach for the KU hat during halftime of the Jordan Brand Classic in New York’s Madison Square Garden. Selby, a 6′-2 point guard from Lake Clifton High School in Baltimore, might just be the most athletic player in this year’s class, proving it during his domination of the Slam Dunk Contest as part of the McDonalds All-American Game festivities recently. But beyond athleticism, Josh seems to be one of the most fierce competitors as well. His constant hustle, and ability to match another team’s top player reminds some of the man he will be replacing in Lawrence, Sherron Collins. Selby admits that “those would be big shoes to fill”, but if there is anyone in this year’s class that could, it would definitely be Selby. The former Tennessee commit was once again being wooed by his former suitor in recent weeks, and despite his respect for the UT coaching staff, the Kansas staff’s consistency was, I think, the biggest factor in the decision. Josh and his mother seemed to like Bill Self from the beginning, and that never changed. Despite rumors that Josh would commit to Kentucky shortly after his decommitment to UT, Kentucky really never played that big a role in his recruitment. The rumors that spawned from that seemed to involve, the infamous World Wide Wes, but were quickly shot down by his mother, Maeshon Witherspoon. Ms. Witherspoon was definitely in charge of the process from day one. Trust me Jayhawk fans when I say this, you will love this woman. She is as knowledgeable as anyone that will be around an 18 year old when he arrives on campus, but also brings the kind of love that only a mother can have. Note: Another Jordan Brand participant and McDonalds All-American is set to announce during the Classic on Saturday, 6′-4 combo guard, Doron Lamb. While rumors have been circulating for sometime that Lamb and Selby would be a package deal to KU, I cannot confirm this is the case. Although I believe Kansas stands a good chance to land Lamb, the family has been tight-lipped throughout the process. Another former favorite for KU, Terrence Jones, could also be a possibility as Self and staff has recently reached out to the SF/PF from out West. We’ll keep you posted on that one as well. |

Uhhh....holy shit. Didn't think he would even visit. Gotta be looking decent for KU with his decision next week. I'm not holding my breath, but this has to be a little bit more good news for KU.
http://theshiver.com/2010/04/jones-to-visit-kansas/ In an email to TheShiver.com early Friday afternoon Linda Mashia-Jones, the mother of the #9 ranked player in the ESPNU 100, Terrence Jones, announced that Jones will visit the University of Kansas this Sunday. “I thought I would let you know Terrence will be taking an official visit to Kansas this Sunday,” Mashia-Jones said in her email. Mashia-Jones added that she will not be joining Terrence in Lawrence on Sunday. As TheShiver.com first reported almost a month ago, talk between Jones and Kansas started up after Jones and recent Kansas commit, Josh Selby, spent time together during the week of the McDonald’s All American game. Shortly after the Jordan Brands Classic this past weekend in New York, Selby hinted that if Jones were to visit Kansas – Jones would likely end up a Jayhawk |

Terrence Jones, a 6-foot-8 forward from Portland, Ore., has set an official visit to Kansas University on Sunday, Terrence's mother, Linda, told Rivals.com Friday. Jones, who is the 13th-ranked player according to Rivals, will choose a school on April 30. He has Kentucky, Oklahoma, Oregon, UCLA, Washington, Arizona and Kansas on his list. "This is obviously a huge development for (KU) coach (Bill) Self, coach (Kurtis) Townsend and Kansas," said recruiting analyst Shay Wildeboor of Jayhawkslant.com. "They conducted an in-home visit in September. From that point on, Terrence visited several other schools, but hadn't made it to Kansas. "He is coming in Sunday through Tuesday and is an absolute difference-maker. He's an inside/outside guy who could step in right away and immediately impact the rotation." Following Saturday's Jordan Brand Classic game in New York City, Jones told the Journal-World that he wanted to visit Lawrence before deciding on a college. “Hopefully, I will get that done,” Jones said Saturday. “I have one official visit left. I want to use it.” Jones and recent KU signee Josh Selby have been friends since meeting at the Nike Hoops Jamboree a few years back. “He’s anxious for me to join him (at KU),” Jones said Saturday. “He feels it would be best for both of us. Possibly, we could do great things there. |

Do you even know how happy I am to be wrong?
I don't know if I can take it if we land Jones. ****ing Selby, Berry, Jones and possibly Clausen... my balls are going to be dry for months to come.
