    • Kansas, Recruiting

    Devon Dotson, the 6-foot-2, 180-pound point guard from Providence Day (NC) School and Team Charlotte (NC), committed to Kansas on Friday.

    Dotson also considered Maryland, and was also recruited by UCLA, Florida and Clemson, among others.

    Dotson averaged 18.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game this summer on the AAU circuit playing for former NBA guard Jeff McInnis.

    “I think he’s one of the most explosive guys getting to the basket,” McInnis said by phone. “He gets to the basket at will. He has an improved jump shot. He’s a dog, he’s tough on the court, he don’t back down. He plays defense the same way he plays offense. That’s what I always liked about him.

    “I think he’ll bring leadership, he’s a winner. We won every year that I’ve had him. Everywhere he goes, he wins. So I think he’s a winner.”

    Kansas expects to lose several players in 2018, including point guard Devonte’ Graham and will have a need for Dotson, the No. 26-ranked player in the 2018 ESPN 100.

    Kansas, Oak Hill Academy, Recruiting

    David McCormack, the 6-foot-10 center from Oak Hill (VA) Academy and Team Loaded, committed to Kansas on Sunday evening.

    McCormack also considered Xavier, Oklahoma State, and N.C. State. He visited Kansas unofficially and is slated to take an official to Kansas next weekend.

    “He’s lost about 45 pounds,” Oak Hill coach Steve Smith told The 4 Quarters Podcast recently. “He was about 295 last year, he’s 255 now. He’s got a great body now, that has helped him tremendously. He’s more mobile now, he plays above the rim instead of below the rim. His shot has improved to 17 feet. He’s inside presence on both sides of the floor. He’s going to be a really, really good college player. I gotta give him credit because he lost weight but he’s the guy who changed his diet and lost the weight and it’ changed him into a much better player.”
