Self said that he and Howard’s mutual connections give him confidence that the transition will be a smooth one for his new assistant.
"Jerrance has great energy, is unbelievably positive and in a short amount of time has established himself as one of the better recruiters in college basketball," Self said in a press release. "Having worked for one of my former assistants, Billy Gillispie, and my former mentor Larry Brown, I'm totally comfortable with him coming in here, having a smooth transition and having an immediate, positive impact on our program."
Keep Howard’s name in mind, as Kansas assistants tend to find success in the world of college basketball.
