Kansas Basketball: Malik Newman will be a star for the Jayhawks
By Kyle Hull
A farewell to Mississippi, from Malik Newman
Newman left Mississippi State for a number of reasons. Many expected him to join the NBA draft, and start his quest to the riches. Newman had other plans however.

As expected, Newman tested the NBA waters after leaving MSU. Newman did not like what he saw in the NBA world, withdrew his name, and went another route – transferring. It appeared as though Newman wanted to play basketball, just not at Mississippi State.
This is when the Jayhawks came running to Newman the second time, but this time was a little bit more successful.
