Kansas basketball fans love Perry Ellis. Many of us have been aware of his basketball ability since he started wowing crowds at high school games in Wichita and in tournaments across Kansas.
I remember the national attention when every big-name college coach in the country showed up for one of Perry’s high school games. Obviously, Bill Self was in the front row.
Pitino, Coach K, Calipari, Boeheim, Roy and a dozen or more others. Whoever was coaching in Manhattan showed up too.
Some thought he’d go to that school in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
