Recruiting - Hoops, Miles / Rogers

From a Kansas website, talking about CJ Miles / Kevin Rogers. They definitely want to still be a package deal and the four schools on their final list - GT, Kansas, UNC and Arizona - all have offered both guys a free ride. Well, if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. Going head to head for top recruits with Kansas, UNC and AZ - doesn't get much stronger than that.

Also here is an article on the top players NOT signing a letter of intent and putting college coaches in a quandry.

Last month, eight high school seniors were chosen in the first round of the draft. Top pick Dwight Howard was the only player who didn't sign an NLI.

Shaun Livingston (Duke), Robert Swift (USC), Sebastian Telfair (Louisville), Al Jefferson (Arkansas), Josh Smith (Indiana), J.R. Smith (North Carolina) and Dorell Wright (DePaul) all signed an NLI.

None of those teams were able to sign another player of equal talent.
