Recruiting notebook: Self looking for ‘everything’

Kansas University basketball recruiting.

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self said “everything,” when asked what he’s looking for in recruiting. “You never know who is going to leave. If we could get a great guard, a lead guard, great. If we could get a great wing or great 2-guard, great, but our emphasis has to be bigs. We need to sign two to three bigs at least losing for sure Perry (Ellis), Jamari (Traylor) and Hunter (Mickelson) and whoever else could leave. It opens three to four spots inside. It’s nice to have Dwight. We know he’ll be eligible next year. I am hoping we can get two good bigs.”
