Green commits to Kansas

By J-W Staff Reports     Jan 12, 2004

There was little drama Sunday night in San Antonio when James Madison High running back Gary Green II gave Kansas University football coach Mark Mangino an oral commitment — as expected.

Green made his decision several days ago, but waited until his parents could meet Mangino, who made an in-home visit Sunday.

“I’m excited about my choice,” Green, the son of former Kansas City Chief Gary Green, told the Journal-World in a phone interview Sunday night. “I officially committed to the University of Kansas. I feel good about my decision. Everything went great. My parents really liked coach Mangino.”

Green, who rushed for 1,721 yards and 23 touchdowns as a senior, chose KU over UCLA, Pittsburgh and Texas Tech.
