DJ Jefferson, a four-star wing who redshirted last season, has not been with the team over the past few sessions. Barnes announced the news during his media session on Tuesday afternoon.
“DJ has missed the last couple practices due to the fact that he hasn’t lived up to what we want to do in all facets of the program,” Barnes told reporters. No other details were given.
