Selby will enter draft

[DJT]

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kansas says star freshman guard Josh Selby is declaring for the NBA draft.

The 6-foot-3 Selby was rated overall No. 1 prospect in the nation when Kansas coach Bill Self signed him last year. He was suspended the first nine games by the NCAA for amateurism violations and missed several more with a foot injury.

Selby tweeted Thursday that he will miss Allen Fieldhouse but was looking forward to "a new journey."

He added: "I will not return to Kansas next year. Making my dream a reality."

Kansas is also losing star twins Marcus and Markieff Morris, who are entering the draft.

I don't think this is a good decision. He didn't even do very well for Kansas. He needed to stay.

With another poor year in college, he could have gone undrafted next year. If he gets taken late first round/2nd round, it's better then what he'd get next year.

Yes but if he played up to his potential next year in college, he would have been a mid-first.

Not if T squared and Myck have anything to say about it.

If Texas brings their guys back, they will be the favorite to win it. I'm not sure if that happens or not though.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

He never intended to come back. He made this decision when he committed to Kansas, IMO.

Best of Luck to him with his pro future.

But the dynasty still lives on...Ben McLemore/Braeden Anderson/Naadir tharpe...and with the monster 2012 class we're about to get. Big 12 Title Lock from 2005-2015

 

[playmaker7]

Well IDK how I feel about this but if he feels he's ready...then more power to him.

Late 1st maybe

And then they'll have enough late season collapse

Lol CHILL. You aren't locked in to it right now

Not as bad as finishing with the number one overall seed, and getting dumped.. It's alright though. Continue to educate me on how elite OSU is..

The Rick Barnes special...

Every year...

You're the one who brought up Texas, not me.. They collapse every year, not my fault.

 

[Lake Louise]

Another one and done smh

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The Rick Barnes special...

Every year...

What's it called when Kansas loses to a mid major in the tournament, then?

 

[The Young One]

Elite 8 isnt choking no matter how you slice it...Getting the nations number 1 player back..and losing in the sweet 16 seems more like choking to me.

Dynasty lives on...2005-2015 Big 12 title lock

We didn't choke, Arizona is just a good team. VCU is... oh wait.

And like I said, y'all aren't gonna be the favorites next year if Thompson and Hamilton come back for Texas. Have fun with your shitty starting 5 next year of Elijah Johnson, Tyshawn Taylor, Travis Releford, Thomas Robinson, and Jeff Withey

 

[The Young One]

VCU made it further than both AZ/Duke...and duke with the messiah Kyrie back too.

We made the elite 8 with brady morningstar/tyrel reed starting.But haters gonna hate.

And we will have fun winning the big 12 again..with 3 future NBA players on our starting 5.

Have fun with Bumlees as your big men...and watching Henson/Zeller dominate your shitty frontline again.
