What Bill Self said to five-star forward Isaiah Todd during a recent in-home visit

Posted May 14, 2019
Bill Self had a message for 2020 five-star forward Isaiah Todd after the Kansas basketball coach conducted an in-home visit with the top-10 recruit. “He told me if I came to Kansas, I could be the player with the highest ceiling he’s ever coached there,” Todd said. After making Todd’s list of final 10 schools, the 6-foot-9 forward said the Jayhawks will definitely get a visit. (Kansas City Star)
