Award watch

Senior guard Russell Robinson was named as a preseason candidate for the Bob Cousy Award, an honor given to the nation’s top point guard. Last year Robinson was one of 17 finalists for the award. Three other Big 12 guards are on the preseason list: Missouri’s Stefhon Hannah, Texas’ D.J. Augustin and Baylor’s Curtis Jerrells.

Recruiting

— Twins, Marcus and Markeiff Morris of Philadelphia, recently backed out of their verbal commitment to Memphis, according to Jayhawk Slant, a recruiting Web site. The brothers, who are both ranked in Rivals’ top 100, told Jayhawk Slant that Self was supposed to visit them soon but no date has been set.

— According to Jayhawk Slant, Self has recently visited or plans to visit Tyshawn Taylor (St. Anthony HS, Jersey City, N.J.), Wesley Witherspoon (Lilburn HS, Berkmar, Ga.), Mario Little (Chipola CC, Mariana, Fla.) and Quintrell Thomas (St. Anthony HS, Jersey City, N.J.).
