Silvio De Sousa arrived at Kansas City International Airport about 10:40 p.m. on Tuesday, not exactly prepared for the difference between Kansas and Florida weather this time of year.
“He got off the plane. He was wearing shorts last night,” Kansas coach Bill Self said with a smile on Wednesday afternoon. Self was referring to the 6-foot-9, 230-pound recent IMG Academy graduate who practiced with the Jayhawks for the first time at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, four hours after taking his physical exam at Watkins Memorial Health Center on KU’s campus.
“I texted him yesterday afternoon,” Self said.
