Self accused of recruiting violation

Monday, January 19, 2009

According to the Springfield News-Leader, Kansas coach Bill Self violated NCAA recruiting rules this weekend by engaging in a conversation with John Wall.

Wall, rivals.com’s top-ranked recruit in the country, played in a tournament in Springfield, Mo., this weekend for his high school, Word of God Academy in Raleigh, N.C. Self attended Wall’s game Friday night. The story in the News-Leader reported that Self walked outside of Wall’s locker room to congratulate the 6-foot-4 guard on a victory.

Although the conversation was brief, coaches are not allowed to speak with recruits during NCAA-designated “evaluation periods.” The Kansas athletics department is looking into the allegation.

According to rivals.com, Wall is considering Baylor, North Carolina State, Memphis, Duke and Kansas. He will decide after his high school season in the spring.
