Kansas got some mixed news on Wednesday.
Guard Devon Dotson is withdrawing from the NBA Draft and will return to campus, while fellow backcourt-mate Quentin Grimes will transfer. Grimes must sit a year per NCAA transfer regulations.

Dotson, meantime, announced his plans via Twitter.
“Devon called me about 7 p.m. this evening to confirm he was withdrawing from the NBA Draft and will be returning to KU,” Self said. “The process did what it was supposed to do, which allows players to participate, be seen and receive feedback. After visiting with his family multiple times, Devon came to the conclusion that it was in his best interest to return to school.

Dotson averaged 12.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists, while Grimes averaged 8.4 points and 2.5 rebounds.
Had Kansas gotten both guards back along with frontcourt players Silvio de Sousa and Udoka Azubuike, they could have been a Final Four-type team.
Instead, it’s been a mixed bag for Kansas in recent weeks, as they’ve now lost Grimes and also missed out on five-star recruits Precious Achiuwa (Memphis) and R.J. Hampton (Australia) recently.
