Williams denies tampering with Kansas recruits
Former Kansas coach Roy Williams says he did not try to raid KU’s 2003 signing class and is shocked by allegations. He defended his comments on ESPN about Omar Wilkes and David Padgett, noted he was not recruiting them, and said the confusion arose from his remarks on letters of intent. KU officials filed a complaint with UNC as both sides await clarity on future coaching links.
