ROCK CHALK and COACH SELF on the PROWL again....signed a TOP 30 in Class of 2012...now going for #2 in CLASS of 2013

Kansas JAYHAWK Basketball is sitting pretty well as they have made another run to the FINAL 4 and this time under a ROSTER not as gifted by ROCK CHALK Standards.

The ONLY piece Coach Bill SELF and his STAFF had coming back that they could build around was CHOCOLATE City's Thomas ROBINSON aka T-ROB. A 1st Team ALL-AMERICAN and in the running for the John R. WOODEN Trophy as the best College Basketball Player for 2011-12...T=ROB didn't disappoint and he rose up to the occasion and SELF knew he needed someone else on his roster.

Enter New Jersey Drive's Tyshawn TAYLOR, a former TOP 30 Schoolboy himself under the tutelage of Bobby HURLEY SR's St. ANTHONY's Academy FRIARS in Jersey City, JERSEY, a four-year starter for the JAYHAWKS. SELF has had his ups and downs with his Senior but T-DUB did his thing being crowned 1st Team ALL Big 12 and leading the JAYHAWKS to another BIG 12 Conference Season Championship.

As for the recruiting last season they lost Top recruit SNIPER Ben McLEMORE of the Oak Hill Academy FAME and ST. Louis, Missouri to an NCAA Investigation and that cut their DEPTH in their back court. One has to think though this is KANSAS and a surefire TOP 5 program nationally and they will not have another recruiting class like the one they had this past season.

The TOP JAYHAWK recruit i the Class of 2012 is Wichita KANSAS Wichita Heights HS PF Perry ELLIS ranked in the TOP 35 by ESPNU's Top 100. He anchors a class that is being touted as #10 in the recruiting ranks thus far by ESPN but hold on. With another Top 50 in SF Andrwew WHITE of the MILLER School i Chester Virginia they have front court help coming in. To round out the class SELF and the JAYHAWKS have a PF from the PORTLAND Oregon area and SNIPER Anrio ADAMS the #1 rated Player in WASHINGTON STATE from Seattle's RANIER BEACH HS where players like the STEWART Twins, LODRICK and RODRICK, KRYPtonate ROBINSON (NBA WARRIORS), Jamal CRAWFORD (NBA TrailBLAZERS), and Terrance WILLIAMS (former 1st rounder of NJ NETS now on a 10-day contract with the Sacramento KINGS).

SELF also has a 3-STAR from PRESTONWOOD Christian Academy PLANO, Texas in PF Zach PETERS and this is very important...WHY? Peters is the teammate of the #2 Ranked Prospect in the CLASS of 2013 in Half SNIPER/Half CUSTODIAN Julius RANDLE and the JAYHAWKS figure get his best friend and we will have a leg up on the rest of the schools. RANDLE will be trying to get that #1 spot this summer from Chicago Illinois Neal F. SIMEON HS 's do-it-all GRANT HILL-like player Jabari PARKER.

All is well in ROCK CHALK Land and BILL SELF still has the 32 Schoolboy from SIN CITY Shabazz MUHAMMAD on his plate as he will be choosing soon and the JAYHAWKS are in his TOP 3 last reported.

Imagine that the JAYHAWKS win the 2012 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP and then get the FISH that didn't save SIN CITY in BAZZ MUHAMMAD......Bill SELF if you can pull one of these off....you are the MAYOR of MASS STREET and Governor of KANSAS.

ROOOOOOOOOCK CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALK.......KAAAAAAAAAAAAA ......UUUUUUUUUUUUU
