Self on Vick’s return: ‘Whenever he gets his stuff handled we’ll welcome him back’

Kansas coach Bill Self has not ruled out senior Lagerald Vick returning to the Jayhawk basketball team.

The 6-foot-5 shooting guard has been in his hometown of Memphis on an indefinite leave of absence since Feb. 7. Vick has missed three games — all victories — leading some to speculate he will not rejoin the squad.

The reason for the absence involves family issues, according to his mother.

“Whenever he gets his stuff handled we’ll welcome him back,” Self told Sam Mellinger of The Star on Tuesday.
