Paul Mbiya commits to Kansas – JayhawkSlant: Kansas Jayhawks Football & Basketball Recruiting
It’s already been quite the week for Bill Self and his staff. On Tuesday, the Jayhawks landed four-star shooting guard Kohl Rosario.
Almost 24 hours later, Self and his staff received a commitment from Paul Mbiya, the 6-foot-11, 260-pound center.
Will Bill Self Unleash a Two-Big Lineup With Paul Mbiya and Flory Bidunga?
Mbiya could come off the bench for 15-20 minutes behind Flory Bidunga, though it’s safe to say KU had to sell him on more than that to beat out Oregon.
That raises the question of whether Self will experiment with a twin-tower look and put two tremendous athletes on the floor together.
