Newman, who was a top 10 overall player in the 2015 class, is reportedly going to leave the Mississippi State program after just one season. With his NBA prospects not looking good, it appears a transfer could be in the works.
The Kansas basketball program currently has two open scholarships for the upcoming year and could be a potential landing place if Newman is truly transferring. Kansas was one of his final schools during his original recruitment, and Head Coach Bill Self was a noted admirer of his play in AAU and high school ball.
