Jayhawks fan—we have gotten incredibly lucky with Kansas grown talent with Agbaji, Braun, and Gradey. Even Dajuan Harris who has been a really solid PG the last few years. Harris and Braun played on the same AAU team and actually neither started. Gradey was a secondary/tertiary option at Sunrise Christian until his senior year
Quite frankly fans were upset that our recruiting dipped and attributed it to the NCAA cloud over our heads (that as a reasonable fan I won’t try to defend). But it is relatively ironic that 2020, 2022 and this year feel like 3 of our best teams in recent memory and it’s all during the “can’t recruit top talent because we are in trouble” years.
Self, like a lot of high end coaches, probably has some skeletons in his closet from a rules perspective… but the man can coach X’s and O’s.
