Ed Fritz has worked with several Kansas basketball players at his Blue Valley Northwest youth camps the past 17 summers in the Overland Park high school’s gym.
“I’ve done so many camps with KU players (as counselors). Now I get to do them with one of my own,” Fritz, the veteran Huskies coach, said on Tuesday, the day after BV Northwest senior point guard Christian Braun orally committed to play hoops at tradition-rich KU for Bill Self.
“Coach Self said he was happy he finally got one of my players. I said, ‘This is the first one you ever wanted,’ which is good,’’ Fritz added with a laugh.
