Kansas sophomore football tight end James Sosinski will be officially added to the Jayhawk basketball roster before Wednesday night’s game against Washington, coach Bill Self said on Monday’s Hawk Talk radio show.
“We’ve decided he’s going to suit up for us. He’ll travel with us,” Self said of the 6-foot-7, 260-pound forward who averaged 19.1 points and 12.6 rebounds per game his freshman year at South Mountain Community College in Arizona.
“That doesn’t mean you should expect him to get in the game, stuff like that,” Self added. “He wouldn’t play ahead of other guys yet. Who knows if a month from now if we’re playing somebody and they are hurting us and we need to steal a couple of minutes because they’ve got a big guy laying on us, maybe he can neutralize that.
