With the loss of Kelly Oubre to the draft and the uncertainty with Brannen Greene and his injury, Kansas was in desperate need of a scoring wing with size. The Jayhawks filled this void with the commitment of LaGerald Vick.

Ranked No. 49 in the 2016 Top247, Vick has not officially decided yet if he will in fact move back into the 2015 class and play for Kansas next season. An official decision should come before the end of the month. A move into the 2015 class is expected to be the decision.

Both Vick and his coach Norton Hurd spoke glowingly about about Kansas head coach Bill Self.

"One of the main reasons LaGerald picked Kansas is the player development under Coach Self and his staff," said Vick's coach Norton Hurd of Team Thad. "He could become a Ben McLemore type player."

Vick had this comment concerning Kansas and Coach Self:

"I like the system that Kansas runs. I watched a couple of their games this year. Also, Coach Self kept it real with me. I enjoyed my visit, and I trust Coach Self."

An athletic three-level scorer at 6-5, Vick has steadily improved the last couple years while playing for Memphis (Tenn.) Douglass High School and playing for Team Thad in the Under Armour Gauntlet series. He had committed to SMU in the fall. After decommitting, Vick considered Kansas, Kansas State and Kentucky. Vick visited the two Kansas schools, and committed to Kansas a couple day after having visited the Kansas campus.

Ranked No. 92 in the 2016 247Sports Composite, Vick would push Kansas to No. 6 in the 2015 247Sports Composite Recruiting Rankings if he moves to the 2015 class.

Kansas led Kentucky in his Crystal Ball.
