According to Yahoo Sports, an Adidas Rep, Merl Code, and a Kansas Assistant Coach Kurtis Townsend were actively discussing how much it would cost Kansas to get the 6’7”, 285 pound linebacker in a basketball player’s body to commit to the Kansas Jayhawks.
Zion ultimately committed to Duke, and Coach Kryzewski seemed completely unfazed:

Or maybe Coach K just offered a bigger package to Zion than Kansas did?
