Thomas Robinson hyperextended his left knee during a Thursday practice session.

The severity of the injury is unknown.

"The results from the MRI were positive for Thomas," Bill Self said. "He will take a couple of days off to let it calm down."

Robinson is expected to be one of the best forwards in the country, filling the void for Kansas created by the departure of the Morris twins.

Braeden Anderson, a 6-foot-8 power forward from Alberta, Canada, who originally planned to play basketball at Kansas University, on Friday announced plans to attend Fresno State.

Anderson was deemed an NCAA partial qualifier at KU in September, but was not approved for aid by the Big 12 Conference, which made him ineligible for participation at KU. The Mountain West Conference, of which Fresno State is a member, accepts partial qualifiers and is allowed to provide aid. 

“I did not want to commit to two years at a junior college,” said Anderson, who would have needed a juco degree to qualify for a two-year career at KU. “Fresno is a really good fit for me. I really like the coaches there. I’m a West Coast kid at heart. I have a ton of family in California — a lot of cousins.”

Anderson is disappointed he will be unable to play for Kansas.

“My ultimate goal is the NBA. Before that, my ultimate goal was to make a high-major Div. I school. In my mind, I made it there,” Anderson said of attaining an offer at powerhouse KU. “Kansas is where I wanted to go. I would have picked Kansas over any school in the country. I love all the people there. My heart will always be in Kansas. I’ll always have a really soft spot for Lawrence and the people there.”

Anderson will live with relatives and train in California until reporting to Fresno State second semester.

Kaleb Tarczewski is visiting Arizona on Thursday, which will be his final official recruiting visit.

Tarczewski has narrowed his choices between Arizona and Kansas.

The big man visited Kansas last weekend."He had a great visit at KU but is looking forward to Arizona this weekend," John Carroll, Tarczewski's travel-team coach, told the Star via text message.

Andrew White will make an official visit to the Louisville campus this weekend.

White is a 6-foot-6 shooting guard.

"I am looking forward to it," White told The Courier-Journal. "I have been to Kansas and last weekend I went to West Virginia. I still have a long list of schools, I haven’t narrowed anything down yet on paper. But in my mind, I know what I am looking for."

White is ranked No. 51 in the class by ESPN.com, is No. 52 by Scout.com and No. 56 according to Rivals.com. He is also planning a visit to Texas.

"I kind of noticed I would really fit well into coach (Rick) Pitino’s system," White said after watching some U of L film and talking to Pitino and assistant coach Kevin Keatts. "I saw a lot on film, and some things that I have researched, and a lot of opportunities for shots because they can break people down and get into the lane."
