LAWRENCE, Kan. (WIBW) - Ochai Agbaji and Remy Martin will both return to Kansas for the upcoming season, per multiple reports Tuesday.

ESPN’s Jonathan Givony first tweeted Tuesday morning Agbaji, who led the Jayhawks in scoring last season, has withdrawn from the NBA Draft.

Agbaji averaged 14.1 points per game last season, along with 3.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists. He shot 37.7% from three and 42% from the floor.

The Kansas City, Missouri-native was named an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention selection for the second-straight season.

Later in the afternoon, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reported Arizona State transfer Remy Martin also made the decision to withdraw and will take the court for KU this season.

Martin, who ESPN called “arguably the best available transfer in the portal,” averaged 19.1 points and 3.7 assists at Arizona State last season. In 2019-2020, he put up 19.1 points and 4.1 assists per game.

Agbaji and Martin join Jalen Wilson, who announced last week he would withdraw from the Draft and return to Lawrence.

Wednesday marks the deadline for players to withdraw from the NBA Draft and keep their eligiblity.
