Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg announced Friday that Kobe King has decided not to attend Nebraska as the saga surrounding the former Wisconsin guard continues. King left the Badgers in January and committed to Nebraska in February.

“Kobe King has informed us that he will not be attending the University of Nebraska for personal reasons,” Hoiberg said in a statement. “We respect his decision and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

The 6-foot-4 shooting guard would have been a nice addition for the Cornhuskers, who are retooling their roster entering Hoiberg’s second season as coach. He was starting and averaging 10 points per game for Wisconsin as a junior before deciding to transfer. King wrote in an Instagram post announcing his departure from Wisconsin that he realized “this program is not the right fit for me as a player and person.”

It’s unclear whether the Wisconsin native intends to continue his college career elsewhere. But King should have plenty of suitors if he plans to use his final year of eligibility. King is ranked No. 7 on CBS Sports’ list of traditional transfers in the 2020 recruiting cycle.

His career 29.6% 3-point shooting percentage needs improvement. But King is a skilled mid-range player who is good at getting to the basket, and he would have likely been a top offensive option at Nebraska. The Cornhuskers finished 7-25 (2-18 Big Ten) in Hoiberg’s first season.
