Recently, Kansas extended a scholarship offer to Jonas Aidoo, the 7-foot-0, 215-pound center from Liberty Heights HS in Charlotte, N.C. Currently ranked No. 104 in the 2021 class, Aidoo has received scholarship offers from the likes of Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Houston, Iona, Kansas, Marquette, Mississippi, NC State, Pittsburgh, Providence, Rutgers, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest, Western Kentucky, and Wichita State.
On Friday morning, I was able to exchange a few text messages with Aidoo while he was at the airport. I hope to have a complete update early next week, but wanted to share this information with you now.
"Yes, Kansas did offer me a scholarship," Jonas Aidoo told JayhawkSlant.com on Friday morning. "It actually happened on a Zoom call with Coach Rob (Norm Roberts) and Coach Self. I've just been learning about the school and the staff is telling me that there is a want and need for me. I would love to take a visit to Kansas and I am interested in Kansas right now. I really love how Kansas develops its big men into next level athletes."
Back on July 30, Dan McDonald from Rivals.com had this to say about Aidoo.
Aidoo still has a lot of room for growth in his game, but it’s apparent he’s been putting in the work over the last couple years. In one particular sequence on Saturday in the On The Radar Hoops Super Six event, Aidoo showed exactly why college coaches are so excited about his potential. He caught the ball on the wing, did a quick rip through, and took two dribbles to the bucket where he finished with a monster dunk. He’s also shown the ability to step out and shoot the three as well. Right now, it’s still more potential than production, but there is no doubt the upside is there and it is really high.
