KU basketball players prepare to rise and shine in coach Bill Self’s Boot Camp

Svi Mykhailiuk has devised a plan to make sure he’s on time for 6 a.m. Bill Self Boot Camp conditioning workouts in Kansas’ basketball practice facility adjacent to Allen Fieldhouse.

“Set five alarms,” said the Jayhawks’ junior guard, who would rather be safe than sorry — or in this case, tardy.

Mykhailiuk and his KU teammates will rise before the sun Monday for the first of nine or 10 Boot Camp workouts of the 2016-17 preseason.

There will be hourlong sprints, backboard touches, defensive slides and jumping rope with no basketballs in sight Monday through Friday.
