RJ Hampton will not attend college

RJ Hampton, the 5th ranked prospect in this year's class per 247 Sports, had whittled his list of colleges down to Kansas, Texas Tech, and Memphis. However, early this morning, he chose none of them. Hampton, a combo guard who would have checked a lot of boxes for this year's Kansas team, elected to play in New Zealand for a year before declaring for the NBA draft.

Many predict that Devon Dotson will return to school, while Quentin Grimes will not. If that plays out, Hampton would have been an ideal player to take Grimes' place, offering shooting ability that will likely be lacking on this year's roster.
