He says that's a great name!

LOL I got to check out the Umd board. They were melting down simply over the guy going to take a visit to KU.

Was this the "seismic" recruiting news that Fraschilla referred to?

Can't be, right? Kansas getting a top 25 player isn't news and hardly "seismic".

I'll never figure out the attraction with Kansas.

Sorry.

It was, and it is a loose definition of seismic.

News of the visit to KU, followed by his commit were kind of out of nowhere...plus he was considered likely to commit to Maryland.

So while I don't really agree with it being "seismic" I bet it was what FF was talking about.

Sorry.

Tremendous fan support - basically like an SEC football culture. Donors funded a $22 million dollar facility to house the freaking rules of basketball and the $12 million basketball dorm. But yes, it's boring as hell to live in Kansas.

Maryland fans convinced Self paid for SdS to commit there.

Ha ha ha ha.

Do the players hangout in KC much? It's what, 45 min, from there? I think you're from KC if I remember correctly. Obviously an awesome city. Been there five or six times. I would say it is still more attractive than going to Storrs, for instance.

I can appreciate the irony of a Syracuse fan not understanding the attractiveness of Kansas.

I like to joke around about Kansas being a flat land full of nothing and to be honest, I don't find the state all that exciting, at least compared to when I lived outside Atlanta. But there is no question the area is better than Storrs!

If you go into Kansas City, there are definitely things to do. It's about a 45-50 minute drive from Lawrence so a pretty easy drive and of course we have the Royals and Chiefs and plenty of good BBQ. I'm a little old for this kind of stuff, but the nightlife seems pretty solid in both KC and Lawrence for college-age kids. Based on the police blotter, it seems like there are definitely plenty of places to find excitement in Lawrence.

You had me at "plenty of good BBQ," not a ton of that in LA...

Watching KU's opener & Fraschilla just said they expect De Sousa to join them in December. This is a kid who didn't come over from Angola until his Sophomore year of HS but is now apparently on track to graduate early. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes the NCAA to review this.

Power forward who committed to KU basketball for 2018 wants to play this December

Hopefully he doesn’t carpool with Billy Preston to get to school!
