The man, the myth, the legend. Mitch Lightfoot is a beloved Kansas basketball star, but would it be wise for him to sit this season out?
Last season, Lightfoot was one of the Jayhawks’ biggest impact players after starting center Udoka Azubuike was lost for the season due to injury. Lightfoot came off the bench and played extremely valuable minutes, catapulting Kansas basketball to a win on more than one occasion.
His hustle and gritty style have made Lightfoot one of the biggest fan favorites in Kansas basketball history. His contributions last season were enjoyed so much, that songs, Twitter accounts, and more were created in honor of Lightfoot.
