AAU Invaded Lawrence
Jul 25, 2017 07:04 PM #1

Surprised I didn't here a whole lot on here about the AAU hardwood classic in Lawrence over the weekend at the new the sports pavilion. Over 200 youngsters and dozens of top coaches in the college basketball world. Oddly enough the event was put on by Nike. Anyhow just cool all he new stuff going on in town and the new additions to KU, between events like this and the new housing for players paired with AFH and new Debruce center it makes a guy wonder how a recruit could say no to KU. It's a great day to be a jayhawk as always.

There wasn't a ton of recruits KU was after. Self and staff came and went for some players but overall this event didn't have the type of guys KU was going for like a few weeks ago

@BeddieKU23 I agree but still think it is a positive for both the city and KU.

Certainly. I should have also pointed out how it's great having a big event like this right in KU'S backyard. They extended a few new offers that they might not have handed out if this wasn't so close to home
