LAWRENCE, Kan.
In the days after Bill Self learned that Ole Miss big man Dwight Coleby was transferring, the Kansas head coach began a reconnaissance mission.
He had a base knowledge of Coleby, the Bahamas native who had spent two seasons at Mississippi, but he desired to know more. Self coveted a transfer big man to get a head start on his next recruiting class in 2016, but was Coleby the right fit? There was tape to watch, research to be done, and a decision to make.
In the ensuing days — which included Coleby taking an official visit to Kansas over the weekend — Self came away convinced that Coleby, a 6-foot-9, 240-pound forward, was the right fit for the Kansas frontcourt.
