Kansas basketball coach Bill Self will be heading to Colorado Springs on Wednesday to run training camp for USA Basketball’s Under-18 men’s national team, which will participate in the FIBA Americas tournament June 10-16 in St. Catherines, Canada.
Self — head coach of the Under-18 squad — will be assisted by former KU hoops standout Danny Manning, head coach at Wake Forest, as well as Dayton’s Anthony Grant.
“I’ll enjoy meeting up with Danny and Anthony, as well, seeing what we can accomplish with this Under-18 team,” Self told The Star. “I think it’ll be exciting.”
Incoming KU freshman combo guard Quentin Grimes will be one of 32 players attending training camp Thursday through Saturday in hopes of making the team.
