Looks like KU may add Preston either tomorrow or Thursday and read they may add someone at the semester Kenny Wooten.

Hopefully ISU gets some good news in the next two days.

Kansas just added Billy Preston. he is a teammate this year of Wigginton.

That'll be fun to watch them battle in the Big12

EDIT: yes I know he is not a guard, but still will be cool to see former teammates play each other 2/3 times a year.

Yeah, I agree. That team is loaded. They have another guard that has Texas pretty high.

Preston is the 20 overall prospect a PF,good get for KU and should ease their concerns over on the Jayhawk message board over early Self's recruiting. (yes they are stressing)

I don't know how much fun it'll be to watch Wigginton vs Preston though. Niang vs Seldon never really materialized as a real story line (mainly due to Seldon not reaching his predicted potential).
