UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Recruit from Arkansas gives verbal commitment to Jayhawks
But 'Late Night' guest C.J. Black instead volunteers to go to Tennessee
By Matt Irwin
Kansan sportswriter
You can't always get what you want, but, if you try sometimes, you get what you need.
Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams may be singing that tune after hearing the verbal commitments of two recruits.
C. J. Black, a 6-foot-8, 260-pound forward committed to Tennessee after visiting Kansas during the weekend of "Late Night with Roy Williams," and Nick Bradford, a 6-6, 180-pound swingman verbally committed to Kansas after visiting this past weekend.
So Williams, who has been trying to recruit a big man and athletic player, failed to get the big man but got the athletic player he wanted.
Williams still has another scholarship to give.Blue Chip Illustrated managing editor Mark Mayemura said that Kansas might have a chance with other recruits that were rated higher than both Black and Bradford.
Bradford, who is from Fayetteville, Ark., ruled out Arkansas during the summer and canceled visits to Oklahoma State and
"I had a feeling that if they were like he thought they would be,he would go there."

"He's absolutely convinced Kansas is the place," Bradford's high school coach Barry Gebart said. "I had a feeling that if they were like he thought they would be, he would go there. Once he saw the way the program was run, it was a natural fit. I think they're going to like the way Nicky plays."
Gebhart said that Bradford, who goes by "Nicky," watched Kansas practice during the weekend and liked Kansas' intensity and unselfish style of play.
"Sometimes high school players might be in awe when they go on a visit like this, or they might be jealous and not know how to get along," Gebhart said. "He was extremely impressed by the work ethic of Kansas' star players and the players that don't play so much."
Bradford has qualified academically and fits the stereotype of a
Kansas player
"I'm usually hesitant to say this to people who haven't seen him play, but he's a better kid than he is a basketball player." Gebhart said.
Bradford was selected to the All-State basketball team last season and averaged about 14 points, six rebounds and 3.5 assists while helping his team to a 18-record.
Black, who also received high praise from his high school coach, Robert High, chose Tennessee after a weekend with the Kansas basketball team that included "Late Night."
Although High thinks the distance between Lawrence and Black's hometown, Chattanooga, Tenn., played a big part in the decision, Black disagreed.
By Linda C. Black
Black said that the most important factors were the academics and the coaching. He wants to major in hotel management. Tennessee has a hotel management program, and Kansas does not.
Black said that the Kansas coaches said he could take a class from the business school that related to the field. However, that was not enough for Black.

He also said that Tennessee coach Kevin O'Neill was more inspiring.
"Coach O'Neill, he has a little something extra that makes everybody want to work harder," Black said.
Black did not make an official visit to Maryland and canceled his visit to Wake Forest, the other two schools he was considering.
Today's Birthday (Oct. 24): Streamline your operation. Get rid of everything you don't need by November. In December, learn a valuable skill from an old master. In March, opportunity knocks. Figure out where and be waiting for it. May is for getting married and other permanent legal decisions. You'll have to power through a career barrier in August. Finish up bureaucratic or other requirements next October so you can get on with your objectives.
Aries (March 21-April 19):
If you have a problem, see if you can figure out the answer for yourself. If you don't get sidetracked by talking to your friends, you'll be amazed at how much work you can finish.
In romance, let the other person do the talking and you'll learn more.
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
A surprising development today could open new possibilities.
Don't spend money you don't have, though, even for a good reason. If you need more, join forces with a wealthy partner. Romance could be a byproduct of this deal, if appropriate.
Gemini (May 21-June 21): Snoop around, and you may uncover a secret. Use your imagination, along with your modem and your insider friends. Meanwhile, your love life may be disrupted by a breakdown in communications. Be persistent and turn this into a breakthrough.
The plans you've been working on should start falling into place soon. You can discuss private matters with a friend, but don't tell everything you know. Your romantic dreams can come true, if you and your sweetie are willing to work for them. Start tonight!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):
Instead of trying to muscle through your difficulties, study them. What's not working? Use your opponent's energy in your favor. A quiet friend could be very assertive tonight. If these advances are welcome, you're the lucky one! If not, come right out and say so.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you're considering taking on a new assignment, be careful. It may require more of your attention than you realize! In romance, it's OK to play it coy. Drop a few hints, but keep your friend guessing. You may not be able to negotiate a better deal.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):
This is a great day for wheeling and dealing, and there's probably a lot of it going on. If you're not directly involved, try to stay out of the way! You'll do best financially if you sell instead of buy. Only confide in a friend you're sure you can trust.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):
Obstacles that have blocked your path are beginning to dissolve without any effort on your part! A surprising development this evening could help, too.
Sign on the dotted line early this morning. That's also a good
time for making a romantic commitment.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.
21): You might be under a bit of pressure from unseen forces today. You probably know what needs to be done, so stop procrastinating! Only spend money on something you can use on the job or an investment that will make your future more secure.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): Perseverance is the single
characteristic that pays the
highest dividends, and you've
sure got that. And, it should be
starting to pay off. Keep your
success quiet a little while
longer, though. There's no need
to stir up dead jealousies!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You'll get more accomplished if you keep to yourself today. Complete concentration will be required to solve a mystery. Meanwhile, you may be attracted to somebody who is very different from yourself. If so, be patient. That friendship could take time to develop.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): A change is in order. It could be an attitude, a relationship or even your old furniture. Don't be pressured into a decision that benefits the other person, though. Make sure it's good for you. Tonight will be even more romantic if you spend it near water.
