They were removed from the rookie symposium on substance abuse and sexual assault after they were caught with weed and women in their room.
Self is clearly an excellent coach and recruiter, but the relative lack of quality NBA players he’s coached at kansas is astounding. He’s had probably a dozen or more McDonald’s All-Americans and twice as many more top-100 guys, but he’s had just one all-star (by my count) in Embid.
I don’t care enough to check, but I’m guessing that if you took a random sampling of similarly rated players who didn’t go to kansas, that random selection would have more success in the NBA over that span.
If I were a top recruit with no emotional ties to any particular school and I wanted to spend four years in college and win a lot of games, kansas would be near the top of my list from that metric.
But if I were a top recruit and wanted to spend a year or two in college to set myself up for a long NBA career, they’d be nowhere near my top choice. That simply isn’t what he does best, and it doesn’t appear to be his emphasis. Which is fine. That isn’t his job. It’s just unfortunate to see kids make a decision based on a misguided belief that he’ll help them achieve that specific dream.
