Kentucky and Oregon were also on his shortlist of finalists, but the senior from Rainier Beach High School (Wash.) ultimately picked the Jayhawks. He joins Andrew Wiggins in 2013 as the only two No. 1 players to commit to Kansas since ESPN began high school player recruiting rankings in 2007.
Bill Self now has the No. 2 recruiting class in the nation, which also includes five-star Taylen Kinney (No. 19) and four-stars Davion Adkins (No. 62) and Trent Perry (No. 82). What can Self do with yet another elite freshman coming to Lawrence?
