Overview
- - On his BetRivers podcast, Mike Francesa claimed Zuby Ejiofor left Kansas to avoid sitting behind Joel Embiid.
- - Listeners quickly noted the timeline error, as Embiid’s lone Kansas season ended in 2014 when Ejiofor was a child.
- - Francesa posted on X that he misspoke and meant Hunter Dickinson, adding that he deserved the criticism.
- - Reporting has long tied Ejiofor’s May 2023 move to St. John’s to limited minutes at Kansas and the Jayhawks’ addition of Dickinson.
- - Ejiofor has since become Big East Player of the Year and the Big East Tournament MOP for No. 5 seed St. John’s, which opens against No. 12 Northern Iowa on Friday in San Diego.
