I apologize to my former teammates and coaches for leaving at midyear. I feel I can best deal with some personal problems closer to home that have been weighing on me over the last few months. I wish KU the best the rest of the season.

I really just want to focus on getting the rest of this (admissions) stuff taken care of. Then I'll be willing to sit down and talk to the media -- hopefully by the middle of next week.

He was a huge spark coming off the bench. He's got so much energy and pride in the way he plays on the floor.
