The former three-star recruit was the Badgers’ leading scorer in Big Ten contests through the middle of February, dialing up impressive performances including 24 points against Indiana in December and 21 points against Illinois the following month.
King then suddenly announced his decision to leave head coach Greg Gard’s program and transfer to the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
In light of today’s development Nebraska head coach Fred Hoiberg released a statement on King’s decision to not join the program:
“Kobe King has informed us that he will not be attending the University of Nebraska for personal reasons. We respect his decision and wish him the best in his future endeavors," Husker hoops coach Fred Hoiberg says in a statement.
