LAWRENCE, Kan. (WIBW) - The No. 3 point guard in the Class of 2024 is reportedly no longer going to be a Jayhawk.

247 Sports reported that Labaron Philon, the No. 32 overall recruit in the C/O 2024, has requested a release from his National Letter of Intent with Kansas men’s basketball.

Philon first committed to the Jayhawks back in September.

The 6′4″ guard will reportedly be exploring other options as the Jayhawks are welcoming in many new transfers.
