Summary:

Arterio Morris is a former McDonald’s All-American that came in as a talented recruit coming into college basketball. He will have to show that he can reliably run the team at the point, and he poses as a significant character risk due to his off-court behavior. He played one year at Texas before transferring to Kansas, but was later dismissed from Kansas due to the charges that were brought against him and his alleged actions.
