Freshman guard Ricky Council IV has declared for the 2022 NBA Draft, while maintaining his collegiate eligibility, he announced in an Instagram post on Monday.
If Council requests an evaluation from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee, he will be allowed to hire a certified agent under the NCAA’s new rules. The agent is allowed to pay for meals, transportation and lodging for Council and his family to meet with NBA teams.
“Ever since the ball was placed in my hands as a kid I have been in love with the game in every aspect, playing at Wichita State the past two years has helped me realize that I’m one step closer to achieving my ultimate goal,” Council said in the social media post.
