His next court date was scheduled for Dec. 27.He will not play for the third-ranked Jayhawks (8-1) against Nebraska on Saturday.Carlton and I have spoken, Kansas coach Bill Self said in a statement. He certainly understands the circumstances surrounding this issue. We are taking this charge very seriously. Were going to hold him out from competition as we continue to gather facts.ddddddddddddragg has appeared in all nine games with five starts this season, and is averaging 7.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in 16 minutes. But the long, lean forward has slowly lost playing time as the Jayhawks have gone to a smaller, quicker lineup the last few weeks.Still, the former five-star recruit and top-50 prospect coming out of Villa Angela St. Joseph in Cleveland is considered a first-round draft pick if he leaves school early. Many thought he would declare for the draft after last season, even though he averaged just 3.8 points and 8.9 minutes.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
