BABC Alum Tilton’s Wayne Selden commits to Kansas

ESPN’s Paul Biancardi is reporting this afternoon that Tilton (N.H.) senior swingman and Roxbury native Wayne Selden gave a verbal commitment to the University of Kansas this morning, following an official visit over the weekend to the Lawrence, Kan. campus during the Jayhawks’ annual Midnight Madness celebration.

“It is the right fit for me as a person and a player,” Selden told Biancardi. “When we walked in the arena (for Late Night in the Phog), the roar of the crowd was insane. I was filled with excitement and to a certain extent overwhelmed.”

Selden is currently ranked as the nation’s No. 14 overall senior by ESPNU. He moved back into his original Class of 2013 over the summer; following his freshman season at Roxbury’s O’Bryant High in 2009-10, he transferred to Tilton and re-classified to the 2014 class.
