The Kansas Jayhawks basketball season ended over the weekend in a regional loss against Villanova, and it may not be until almost June when KU coach Bill Self knows what next year’s team looks like.
Because of NCAA legislation that passed in January, underclassmen will have more flexibility in declaring for the NBA draft. So Bill Self feels others may join senior Perry Ellis in the pro ranks.
“The reality is we’re not going to have our entire group back with the rules that allow you to definitely investigate,” said Self. “I think several of our guys or at least of couple of our guys will.”
Since 2009, coaches knew prior to the signing period in April if an underclassman is withdrawing his name from the NBA draft. Now it’s late May because a player has up to 10 days withdraw his name after attending the NBA combine.
