Having already made an unofficial visit to Kansas on October 16th, the #8 ranked player in the ESPNU 100, Josh Selby, is now ready to check out one of the five schools that remain on his list. According to his mother, Maeshon Witherspoon, Selby will unofficially visit Indiana on November 14th.

The Jayhawks received another boost in April when former Memphis guard, C.J. Henry, and his brother, the #3 recruit in the 2009 class, Xavier Henry, made the decision to attend Kansas after being released from his Letter of Intent when John Calipari decided to leave Memphis to take over as the new Kentucky coach.  Read the rest of this entry »
