Josh Jackson and some others were in the house. I'd love to know how those visits went, but haven't seen anything on the web myself. Please post if you do.

One thing's for certain--they got a good taste of AFH magic! :woohoo:

Rivals reporting that Trae Young (2017 Rivals #26), Mitch Ballock (2017 Rivals #37), Bol Bol (2018) and Jeremiah Robinson (2019) were attending. KU 2016 commit Mitch Lightfoot was also there. 2018 recruit Chris Smith was there and reportedly personally offered by Self.

No word on Josh Jackson (Rivals 2016 #1) being there.

Michael Porter (2017 Rivals #3) reportedly had planned to attend, but did not make the trip

One solid Rivals poster reports that Robinson is Lester Earl's son, and that his grands are big time KU boosters.

Haven't seen any post-game commentary so far re: recruits impressions.

Thanks, HE.

I'm beginning to think that the report I saw earlier about Jackson coming to the KU-UK game was incorrect. He was at the UT game last weekend, and I think that source must've gotten the two games confused. Regardless, he saw a KU win in AFH, which is always good. He was also very glowing about the atmosphere... Most experts still believe he'll go to Zona or Mich State (he's from Detroit), but he likes KU as well, so we're in the mix.

Rock Chalk...

Video interview with Jackson, positive words on his KU visit (last week?).
