Kansas on Monday landed a pledge from Arizona State transfer Remy Martin.
The 6-foot guard from California and two-time first-team All-Pac-12 selection averaged 19.1 points each of the last two seasons. He also averaged 3.7 assists and 2.8 rebounds last season. He is ranked the No. 1 transfer on the market by ESPN.com.
“It was pretty easy, man,” Martin told KUSports.com. “Playing for a guy like coach (Bill) Self and at a historic program like KU, it’s just an amazing deal for me, man, and I couldn’t turn that down.”
He told Jon Rothstein he continues to play to go through the NBA Draft process. Ochai Agbaji and Jalen Wilson of Kansas are also testing the waters.
“I’m definitely going to see how this process plays out and as soon as that happens I’ll kind of know more,” he said. “It’s kind of weird to say hopefully I don’t make it to the league so I can play (at KU), but I’m really excited for what the future holds.”
The addition of Martin comes after Georgia transfer Sahvir Wheeler chose Kentucky over Kansas, LSU and Oklahoma State earlier Monday
Kansas is adding several transfers including guard Joseph Yesufu (Drake) and forwards Cam Martin (Missouri Southern) and Sydney Curry (John A. Logan College).
The Jayhawks also add guards Bobby Pettiford Jr. and Kyle Cuffe Jr. and forwards Zach Clemence and K.J. Adams in the Class of 2021.
