Kansas Jayhawks coach Bill Self was careful how he answered the question. 

On Wednesday, he was asked about NCAA now allowing G League players to return to college. The question came in light of the Louisville Cardinals recently getting a commitment from guard London Johnson, who played last year with the Maine Red Claws and Cleveland Charge of the G League. The Red Claws are the minor league team for the Boston Celtics while the Charge is the training ground for the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

"I don't want to knock it from a standpoint that who knows, we may be recruiting one before it's all said and done," Self said at a press conference. "I got to know the rule better because I didn't know it was limited to G League. I thought a guy could get cut in the NBA and be eligible for college. My personal opinion is I have no idea what we're doing." 

Self said he doesn't understand the rule enough to give an opinion. He said it will change the Jayhawks' approach to recruiting. 

"So we're going to call NBA teams and G League teams to find out who will be potentially available and that's who we're going to recruit now as opposed to high school kids and even portal kids," Self said. "What is the actual rule? Does it have to fit in a five-year window? Can he go to college first? I don't really understand it well enough to comment too much. Why wouldn't everybody declare for the draft and go back to college?"
