Late Night brings recruits, fans in droves | Kansan.com
Morris’ Crimson squad lost 40-39 when his full-court shot dropped just shy of the rim, but he was the unquestioned star of the night. Considering the role he’ll be expected to play this season, it should have come as no surprise. Morris, though, was still finding flaws in his game. "I thought it was close," Morris said about his desperation heave. "Unlike my layups. I’m still missing layups. I gotta get better, but I padded my stats a little bit again."

This Late Night had all the usual fare — skits, videos, scrimmages, costumes, bad basketball — but it had a few extras, too. The centerpiece attraction was, of course, Josh Selby, the most heralded freshman in all the land. But there were some attractions in the stands, too, with Kansas hosting at least 16 recruits. Including were two of the top 20 players in the 2011 class, guard Ben McLemore (No. 17) and forward LeBryan Nash (No. 4), making it what Self said may have been the most important Late Night in his eight-year KU career.

Selby, a 6-foot-2 point guard from Baltimore, showed during the player skits that he doesn’t shy from the spotlight. He also energized the crowd during the pre-scrimmage dunking show. In the playground-like scrimmage, Selby scored on a turn-around jumper, on a bank shot after catching a lob and on a drive to the hoop.

Everything is going to be OK. That, more than anything else, was the message that the Kansas men’s basketball team was supposed to send to the 16,300 fans seated in Allen Fieldhouse on Friday night at "Late Night in the Phog." That they could forget about the pain that has come with football this fall. Forget about 6-3 North Dakota State and 55-7 Baylor and 59-7 Kansas State and remember that their Jayhawks are still the kings of the hardwood, the owners of six straight Big 12 regular-season championships.
