Lagerald Vick to return to KU for senior season

Lagerald Vick will return to the University of Kansas for his senior season, Coach Bill Self said Friday.

Vick, a 6-foot-5 native of Memphis, declared for the 2018 NBA Draft after averaging 12.1 points and 4.8 rebounds a game his junior year at KU, but did not sign with an agent.

He ultimately withdrew his name from the draft, and after speaking with Self, has secured a return to school where he’ll be the Jayhawks’ only returning starter off a 31-8 Final Four team.

Vick started 35 of 39 games a year ago. He hit 59 of 158 threes for 37.
