Kansas’ Bill Self Enshrined Into Naismith Hall of Fame
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Kansas head coach Bill
Kansas scored a huge commit Wednesday when Silvio De Sousa of IMG Academy (FL) pledged to the Jayhawks following a visit last weekend.
“When I was there in Kansas, I couldn’t even express myself or how I was feeling,” De Sousa told the Journal-World. “When you love something, there’s no way you will describe it. I knew about their basketball but I didn’t know about the campus, the coaches and stuff like that. I felt like that was the place I wanted to be, the culture and the coaches were so great around me. That’s one of the things I’ve been looking for and I found that in them.”
The 6-foot-8 Class of 2018 forward has a tremendous motor and and gets up and down the court in a hurry. He’s also great in the post and near the basket.
“[I can] rebound, score, I’m really good at scoring the ball,” he told me last fall. “All I have to do is improve on my handle, my jump shot and everything else will come after that.”
Devon Dotson, the 6-foot-2, 180-pound point guard from Providence Day (NC) School and Team Charlotte (NC), took an official visit to Kansas this past weekend.

One of the highlights involved watching the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fight at coach Bill Self’s house along with fellow 2018 recruit Silvio de Sousa and members of the Kansas basketball team.
“I went to his house Saturday night,” Dotson said. “It was great. We watched the fight. I was surprised that McGregor lasted that long.”
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.
