The graduate student guard and junior forward are set to lead the squad.
Head Coach Rick Pitino has found his team’s leaders less than a month before tip-off.
Per the Hall of Famer’s very active X account, a post from Oct. 10 states that the team collectively chose their captains.
“The team consensus was to name Kadary Richmond and Zuby Ejiofor as team captains for our upcoming season,” the post said.
Richmond, Pitino’s coveted offseason acquisition from Seton Hall, and Ejiofor, a valuable bench piece from last season poised to take his game to the next level, are the perfect candidates to lead on both ends of the court.
