๐Ÿ€ Remy Martin Heading to Kansas for 2021-22 Season

LAWRENCE, Kan. โ€“ Super-senior transfer guard Remy Martin has removed his name from the 2021 NBA Draft and will attend Kansas for the 2021-22 season. Martin declared for the draft following the 2020-21 season and announced in May that he would transfer to KU from Arizona State if he did not remain draft eligible.

โ€œI was blessed with the opportunity to put my name in the draft,โ€ Martin said. โ€œThe main objective was to learn what I needed to do to get better and try to be the best player I can be. It was pretty easy when it came to Kansas, playing for such a historic program and a Hall of Fame coach. I want to be a part of it. I want to be part of the brotherhood and help the team win as much as I can.โ€

โ€œAfter recent conversations, we have anticipated that Remy would withdraw from the draft and come to KU,โ€ head coach Bill Self said. โ€œRemy is a guy that had great success at Arizona State being preseason first-team AP All-American last year, first team all-conference the last two years, and sixth man of the year in his league his freshman season. We saw him up close on two different occasions where he got the best of us. Iโ€™m certainly glad heโ€™s on our side moving forward. I think those are all reasons to be excited about him coming here and helping our basketball team achieve special things this upcoming season.โ€
