The 2008 recruiting class for Kansas goes very deep. I have to give Bill Self a lot of credit for getting such a good class after losing out on many McDonald's All-Americans.
Tyshawn, will bring a winning attitude to Kansas, even though Kansas already has it. He averaged 10 pts. and 5 ast. for the national champion St. Anthony of Jersey. According to Scout.com he is the #15 rated PG prospect. This gives plenty of depth at the PG position with Taylor likely backing up Sherron Collins at the point. Tyshawn Taylor chose Kansas over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Let's look at how this will affect the scholarship offers for the 2009 recruiting class. Assuming Mario stays in the draft we still have one scholarship available. No scholarship players will graduate in 2008-2009 season which could limit the possibilities Bill Self can have in making a solid recruiting class. Sherron Collins could leave for the draft after his junior year since he will be the man for the Jayhawks next season. Besides Sherron no one else should be leaving which could give us a max of 2 scholarship offers. The must-get is Xavier Henry, who can fill up the stat sheet. The '09 class is so much better than the '08 one so it would advantageous to have as many scholarship offers for that year as possible.
