Holy Crap, Hugs!

From the Kansas City Star:

Michael Beasley, one of the top high school juniors in the country, told The Star he got a visit Monday from Huggins and assistant Dalonte Hill, who was the reason Beasley made an oral commitment last year to Charlotte, where Hill was on the staff.

Beasley, a 6-foot-8 forward at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., sounds as if he already has changed his mind about Charlotte, even though he said he hasn't officially backed out of the commitment.

"Kansas State is probably my number one school," said Beasley, ranked No. 3 by Rivals.com. "Coach Huggins and coach Hill want to try to win a national championship, basically. We plan on making Kansas State like Duke or North Carolina."

Beasley also had an interesting update about the top two junior prospects in the nation: O.J. Mayo and Bill Walker of North College Hill in Cincinnati, who've been rumored to be coming to K-State in 2007.

"I talked to Bill," Beasley said, "and he said if I do it (go to K-State), he'll do it. O.J.'s still thinking about it. I think with all of us there, we could make history."

Beasley said he probably will visit K-State this summer.
