LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP)—In the wake of a report saying Kansas recruit Josh Selbymay not be eligible, Jayhawks coach Bill Self said Thursday “it is not at allunusual” for the NCAA to look at some of the nation’s top recruits.

A report by CBSsports.com indicated the NCAA was questioning a relationshipbetween Selby and Robert Frazier, the business manager for NBA star CarmeloAnthony.

Selby, a point guard from Baltimore, has been listed by some services as theNo. 1 recruit in the country.

Self, who was out of town, issued a statement.

“I have received several calls about the article,” he said. “As has beenmentioned previously, we do not comment on recruits until they arrive on campusfor the fall semester. I will say, as we have experienced in the past in ourprogram, it is not at all unusual for the NCAA to look into many of thecountry’s top-rated recruits each year for any number of reasons.”

Selby’s mother was quoted by the Lawrence Journal-World as saying she didnot see any problems with the NCAA.
