Billy Preston is the latest Kansas basketball signee to possess talents that extend off the court.
The 6-foot-9, 240-pound forward with guard skills from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., who Friday announced for KU over Indiana, USC and Syracuse, “loves to dance, sing. He is an amazing artist,” said Preston’s mom, Nicole Player.
“I say ‘amazing’ with just as much emphasis as you can make on ‘amazing.’ He is very talented. One of his favorite classes is creative writing. He’s able to tap into the artistic side of himself, to just become someone else (besides a basketball player).
