The Kansas men’s basketball team officially added to its recruiting class Monday, with coach Bill Self announcing the signing of Liberty transfer Evan Maxwell. The 6-foot-10 forward orally committed to KU on May 14.
“What we saw in Evan was a young man that is very skilled,” Self said. “He needs strength development that I think will come naturally. I think he will be a guy, barring any unforeseen things happening, that spends a ton of time in the weight room and will be playing against really good players in practice every day.
“He’ll learn how to be a go-to-guy offensively in practice and a guy that can give us a lot of added depth up front when he becomes eligible the next year.
