KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One day after losing Devon Dotson to the NBA Draft, the University of Kansas men’s basketball team received the news that Oak Park graduate Ochai Agbaji would return for his junior season.
Agbaji announced his return via Twitter.
“We have some unfinished business to take care of,” Agbaji said. “With that being said, I will be returning for my junior season. Rock, chalk.”
