While Terrence Ross (Portland, Ore./Jefferson) is keeping his recruitment close to the vest, Kansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Oregon and Washington are the likely favorites. Here’s a look at what all five programs have to offer this athletic wing with NBA range.
Terrence Ross
Height: 6-6 | Weight: 180 | ESPNU 100: 26 | SF rank: 5
| Those familiar with Bill Self know that he likes his teams to run at a frenetic pace and preferably score in the eighties. If the Jayhawks don’t score in transition then they’ll rotate into an offense predicated on playing inside-out — taking advantage of their collection of outstanding 3-point shooters. | In all likelihood, Xavier Henry will test the NBA waters, so Ross could easily fill that void. He has the length and quickness to be an outstanding defender and he possesses the overall athleticism to get out in transition. In the half-court set Ross could float around the 3-point stripe. | Kansas’ program has fed the NBA with players of all positions through the years. Although Self has coached some outstanding guards recently (Deron Williams and Mario Chalmers), the Jayhawks are one of the few programs around the country that can consistently bring in elite talent. | Portland, Ore., is far from Lawrence, Kansas, however, there are a couple of factors that favor the Jayhawks. First, Ross has already been away from home when he left to play for Montrose Christian in Maryland. Secondly, the Kansas program has had many success stories cherry picking talent from the West Coast. |
