This is the same Kurtis Townsends that has had some shaddy recruiting stuff follow him around for years.
Here is a little HISTORY LESSON ON KURTIS TOWNSEND:
2004 Off-season
Kurtis Townsend is hired as assistant basketball coach. Townsend's experience includes being a member of the staff at California (1993-1997) during one of the largest NCAA recruiting violation investigations in history, which landed the school on 3 years probation. He followed that up as an assistant at Michigan (1998-2001) during the greatest recruiting scandal in the history of the NCAA, which resulted in four years of major sanctions for the school. As a bonus to the Kansas basketball program, Townsend brought along with him recruit C.J. Giles, formerly committed to USC when Townsend was coaching there. However, when Townsend left USC for Miami, G.J. Giles transferred along with him to Miami. Once Townsend was fired at Miami, C.J. Giles again transferred with him, this time to Kansas. More on Townsend in a future post, but here's a preview. Slimy? You decide. I think the answer is quite obvious.
Julian Wright commits to Kansas without ever visiting campus. Wright, who had previously eliminated Kansas from his list, apparently and inexplicably changed his mind and committed on the spot during a Self and Townsend in-home visit. Scheduled visits to various other schools
are abruptly canceled.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Rodrick Stewart, another one of Townsend's former players and recruits, transfers to Kansas from USC. For more on this story,

He is a real classy guy.
Neat thing is, that this isn't speculation like you might here with Calipari....this stuff is TRUE!
