The 2017 Kansas basketball team is set to roll into conference play with a new addition to the front court. Silvio De Sousa, the 6-foot 9-inch power from IMG Academy will join the team on Tuesday. Bill Self’s got his Christmas wish. Did anyone ever dream that De Sousa might see the court in Crimson and Blue before Billy Preston?
I was thrilled when De Sousa announced his initial intention to wear Crimson and Blue. On the other hand, I scoffed at the initial news he might want to play for Kansas basketball this season. As a matter of fact, I thought the report was crazy and dismissed it as “fake news” How many high school kids leave their teams mid-season to enroll in college basketball.
