Only one Kansas basketball player needed a senior night speech next season. Now Lagerald Vick apparently will miss the opportunity to make the Allen Fieldhouse crowd cry. The junior from Memphis is set to find out about life in professional basketball. He made it official this week that he didn’t want to return for a senior season. I’m happy for him but disappointed.
I hoped Malik Newman or Vick would stay to lead next season’s team of youngsters. Vick has the most to gain from one more year in Hall of Fame coach Bill Self’s system.
