Kansas basketball player spotlight: Sophomore Ochai Agbaji

Last Season: Kansas basketball’s Spark plug

Ochai Agbaji’s freshman season with Kansas basketball was as unconventional as any player in recent memory. The typical Jayhawk freshman tends to struggle during the early portion of the non-conference schedule and then begins to shape into mid-season form once conference play rolls around. Agbaji didn’t have that luxury.

Due to an abundance of talent in the backcourt, Kansas coach Bill Self’s original plan was to redshirt Agbaji for the entire 2018-19 season. However, that plan quickly changed as that said backcourt struggled to find consistency on the offensive end.
