    The numbers are plain: almost 300 players have signed in Europe to start pro careers coming from NCAA Division I, II, III or NAIA schools. At the same date in 2012 there were just 189 players signed. There are more rookies for this season, but they are paid worse.

    This will be a huge weekend at Kansas as the Jayhawks host Kelly Oubre beginning today and Cliff Alexander and Malik Pope on Friday for “Late Night in the Phog.”

    “It’s all about fit, all about vision for my son, also about him having a chance to display his talents, and I hold those schools in high regard,” Kelly Oubre Sr. told the Courier-Journal. “I deal directly with them. At this point, Kansas and Kentucky are pretty much on a level playing field. … Kansas and Kentucky have piqued Kelly’s interest as potential landing spots.”
