Udoka’s wrist was still under wraps at the banquet, he didn’t get the chance to show his stuff last season, he won’t be able to at the Combine next month if he is not 100% by then, and he is one year away from graduating. The last is the least important factor, but it is a factor for some.
Of course, as KU players historically follow a gentlemen’s agreement to space out announcements so each “dipper” gets his time in the media, he may just have been waiting for today so Silvio got his coverage. But Self’s comments at Tuesday’s banquet were indicative of Udoka’s uncertainty.
I hope he stays, has a great senior campaign with two surgically repaired wrists that are stronger post surgery than they were before, dramatically improves his draft stock, and gets to experience four great achievements: Senior Night, another Big 12 title, an NCAA title and walking through the Campanile and down The Hill.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain "Innocents Abroad"
