The state of Kansas has enriched its incoming talent supply, and both Kansas and Kansas State went well outside state borders in order to make it happen. The Wildcats picked up CA C Robert Upshaw, a talented true center who happily plays with his back to the basket. KSU was one of four finalists for Upshaw and not necessarily considered the favorite, and getting him negates much of the sting of missing Willie Cauley earlier this fall.

The Jayhawks, meanwhile, added OR BF Landen Lucas. Though not an elite run/jump athlete and inconsistent on the travel circuit, Lucas is a sturdy interior scorer and rebounder who should be able to play either big forward or center in Lawrence, at least in limited stretches.
