LAWRENCE | Kansas junior guard Brandon Rush told The Star on Tuesday that he has not made a decision to enter the NBA draft.

Rush and the rest of the KU basketball team was at Memorial Stadium for a rally following the Jayhawks’ NCAA championship victory over Memphis on Monday night in San Antonio.

Yahoo! Sports reported Tuesday that Rush had decided to forgo his senior season and turn pro. While walking from the ceremony at midfield to the team bus, Rush was asked if that was the case.

“No, I haven’t decided nothing yet,” Rush said.

When asked when he would make a decision, Rush said “maybe two weeks.”

Rush spoke briefly while on stage during the rally. He thanked fans and teammates but did not discuss his future as the crowd chanted “one more year.”
