Recruiting - Hoops

Interesting turn of events. CJ Miles has eliminated Arizona and North Carolina as a potential choice. He has decided that it will come down to Kansas, GT or Texas, with Kansas a clear leader. Basically he is going to visit all three by the end of September to make sure that KU is the place for him. His GT visit was scheduled for 10/2 and will now be re-scheduled to happen sooner.

Also, there are rumors that his buddy Kevin Rogers has been eliminated by a couple of schools - possibly Arizona and Texas. However, I have info that this might not be the case, even though it is being reported by some of the services. We'll have to see what develops.

Also interesting is that a 6'8" wing Julian Wright has ADDED Kansas to his list. So you have CJ Miles, Kevin Rogers, Brandon Costner and Julian Wright fighting over 2 'ships and it looks like Miles is a lock for one of them. We are on the list for Rogers. Costner eliminated us already and is down to UCLA, KU, Seton Hall and NCST. Interestingly both Costner and Rogers will visit Kansas on the same weekend and are likely going to get into a first-come first-serve basis for the remaining 'ship. Then Wright is the x-factor.

Also, Harvey Hale committed to Wake Forest today. GT was actually interested in him as well, but it looks like the Lewis Clinch decision over the weekend sealed the deal. One guy would likely end up at each school. Once Clinch decided GT, Hale went Wake Forest. Story here. The story doesn't read that way, but there was a domino effect here.
