I don't want to derail the thread, but recruiting at KU is not as easy as the other bluebloods, and I don't think most would disagree. It's not *hard*, exactly, it's obviously easier than 300+ other D1 schools. But coaches are perpetually fighting the "stuck out there", "wizard of oz", "flat with nothing to do" stereotypes with the high-end talent. Bill Self, arguably one of the best recruiters in America, initially signed two fantastic classes, but since then has had multiple years w/o a single McDAA. (The 2013 class is obviously fantastic). And of the three McDAAs who came between 2008 and 2012, one did so because his dad was a legacy (Xavier Henry), and another came because he is from Wichita (Perry Ellis).
Roy's first recruiting class at KU had verbal commitments from Adonis Jordan,
Thomas Hill, and Harold Miner. The latter two jumped when probation came down. But that was back when Roy was "trying", as he later became famous for taking years off from recruiting. That was always the draw to UNC, that place *usually* recruits itself, so Roy could play lots of golf.
