Kansas basketball: Udoka Azubuike makes the right call

Did you hear the sigh of relief Wednesday morning? Kansas basketball fans are thrilled to hear that 7-foot junior to be Udoka Azubuike is going to return for another season with Hall of Fame coach Bill Self. It’s certainly not a surprise. On the other hand, players fans never expected left the team earlier than anyone wanted.

Like most youngsters, Doke waited until the final hours before letting anyone know his decision. The deadline was May 30. The native of Delta, Nigeria probably was not procrastinating. With his size and the NBA’s lust for potential, there is undoubtedly a team that would draft him next month.
