Kansas head coach Bill Self favors compensating student athletes beyond college scholarships.

“I used to be totally against paying players, paying athletes. I’ve changed,” Self said. “I think if presidents are willing to take these athletes and send them across America, miss more school because they have conference realignment, and with the big business of the BCS Championship playoff in football plus the amount of money we generate through television in basketball, I can’t imagine why there aren’t different angles and avenues in which we could compensate the people that are exactly the ones bringing the money to the schools — the student-athletes.”

The NCAA is considering a package that will allow conferences the ability to give full-scholarship athletes $2,000 in spending money.

Mike Krzyzewski was among the coaches who voiced support for the measure.

Wayne Selden, a 6-foot-5, 230-pound shooting guard, has verbally committed to Kansas.

"It just felt like the right place for me,” Selden said. “Coach (Bill) Self has a record that speaks for itself. Kansas is an elite program with a long tradition. Through my whole recruiting process, me and my family were utterly impressed with their professionalism."

Selden is a top-30 player in the 2013 class.

“When I look at Selden, I kind of look at him as a designated athlete in the backcourt,” said Eric Bossi, a national recruiting analyst for Rivals.com. “He handles the ball really well. In fact, I think he’s at his best playing in the pick-and-roll and accepting ball screens.

“If you watch Kansas, you know that there may not be another program in the country that runs as much ball-screen action as Kansas does. So, he’s an incredible fit from that standpoint.”

Joel Embiid called Kansas his leader after attending the Jayhawks' Midnight Madness event.

“I had a great visit. I’m going to visit Virginia, Florida and one other school to compare those schools to my visit to Kansas,” Embiid said.

The 7-foot, 220-pound center has also mentioned Louisville, UCLA, Marquette, Texas, DePaul and Wake Forest.

Frank Mason committed to Kansas after taking an official visit over the weekend.

The 6-foot-1 Mason chose the Jayhawks over Rutgers, Maryland and Virginia Tech, among others.

Mason is the Jayhawks’ third commitment in the 2013 class.

Jabari Parker has reduced his list of college choices to BYU, Duke, Florida, Michigan State and Stanford.

Parker in July had revealed a list of 10 schools he was considering, which included DePaul, Georgetown, Kansas, Kentucky and North Carolina.

Parker is the top recruit of the 2013 class.

"He thought about it and looked at the programs. That's the five he had," Simeon coach Robert Smith said Friday. "It took him a long time to find. Everyone was really good, but he had to make a decision. He really respected everyone recruiting him and wanted to thank them for their time. He knew he couldn't make everyone happy.

"He's just ready to go out and visit the campuses and get a real feel for the players and the campuses. Him, his family and myself will sit down and see what he comes up with. This is Jabari's decision. We're just making sure he's being guided. I tell him to follow his heart."

Julius Randle has trimmed his list to six schools: Kentucky, N.C. State, Florida, Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma.

"Yes, it's down to those six schools," Randle said. "I talked to the schools that are out and that's who is left."

Randle is scheduled to visit Florida later this week.

"They came in for the in home and told me that the would like me to go ahead and visit this weekend," said Randle. "So, I'm going to go ahead and visit Florida this weekend."
