From what I’m reading apparently they guaranteed him playing time.
Hmm, no confidence in his abilities?
KU will just have to win another NC without him.
NEXT!!!

Hilarious. Not tough enough to play for KU or Duke and drive for those pesky national championships.
If the photo doesn’t load, it’s Mgbako in hoosier jersey saying “I think we can win a conference title this year.” Five star kid not wanting to win it all. Jeez.

More on what MM said re: his announcement in a post by an unnamed JayhawkSlant poster.
First and last sentence are fact, middle sentence is his opinion.
"Mgbako saying IU environment is unmatched and Woodson is going to put him in a better position is delusional. Another low IQ player would have been brutal to see. Yes, I’m salty."- Anon.
Again (a) I go back to the "better position" being guaranteed playing time, which I have never heard of Hall-of-Fame and consensus best active D1 head coach Bill Self promising, and then (b) my gut telling me that the kid doesn't want to deal with the pressures, pro and con, of being a possible game changer on a team like KU (or Duke) where he has to earn his PT and if he doesn't (or does) the team's failure to make the FF somehow might come back on him?
Lower expectations + guaranteed playing time + apparent lack of confidence? + unknown other factor(s) yields
Don't go to Kansas (or Duke).
At least that is what is seems like to this observer.
