Kansas head coach Bill Self will be among those inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday, a source told ESPN's Jeff Goodman.

Self was among 14 finalists named in February, which included former NBA stars Chris Webber and Tracy McGrady, as well as ex-Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan.

After stints as Oral Roberts, Tulsa, and Illinois, Self took over the Jayhawks prior to the 2003-04 season, when Roy Williams left for North Carolina. Kansas went to the Elite Eight during Self's first season at the helm, and while they failed to win the Big 12 regular-season title that year, the Jayhawks have won it each of the 13 consecutive years since.

Under Self's leadership, the Jayhawks have made a pair of Final Fours and won the national championship in 2008. He has a 623-192 career record, including 416-88 at Kansas.

The full group of inductees will be announced Saturday at noon ET.
