Devon Dotson, his family members and Kansas’ basketball coaches proved last week they are all capable of keeping a big secret.
Dotson, a 6-foot-1 senior point guard from Providence Day High School in Charlotte, N.C., orally committed to play hoops at KU on Wednesday night in front of a trio of Jayhawk coaches who’d traveled to North Carolina to visit him.
Word of Dotson’s pledge was kept hush-hush until two nights later, when Rivals.com’s No. 17-ranked player in the recruiting class of 2018 revealed his college choice at a pep rally live-streamed on various Internet websites before his high school’s Homecoming football game.
