Tourney talk

KU has not yet contracted to play in an early-season tournament next year.

Memphis coach John Calipari has said the Jayhawks likely will play Memphis in St. Louis in the finale of the Memphis Invitational.

KU would play two or three games in Allen Fieldhouse in that “tourney” against small to mid-major Div. I schools.

The Jayhawks will play in the Las Vegas Invitational in 2010. The tourney format will feature two KU home games and two in Las Vegas, the marquee game KU versus Arizona.

KU will play in the Maui Invitational in 2011 and has no tourney set for 2012. A good bet for 2012 would be another Jayhawk Invitational, which likely would feature four home games.

Cheek still listing five schools

Dominic Cheek, a 6-foot-5 senior guard from St. Anthony High in Jersey City, N.J., told Zagsblog.net he enjoyed his official visit to Rutgers last weekend.

“I like Rutgers a lot because I know I can go there and be a main factor,” Cheek said.

On his visit, Cheek watched his former St. Anthony teammate, freshman Mike Rosario, score 27 points in a victory over Robert Morris. Another of his former prep teammates, Tyshawn Taylor, attends KU.

Cheek, Rivals.com’s No.16-rated player, has a final five of KU, Memphis, Villanova, Pittsburgh and Rutgers.

Cheek said Memphis signee Xavier Henry is trying to get him to become a Tiger.

“He’s still recruiting me because he wants me to go there with him, so I have no problem with that,” Cheek told Zagsblog. “He’s text-messaging me and told me that. He wants me to join him in the backcourt.”
