Ex-Kansas standout De Sousa back in NCAAs with Chattanooga

Former Kansas standout Silvio De Sousa has been to the NCAA Tournament and he has told his new Chattanooga teammates just how much fun playing in the postseason can be

Anchors Mocs with double-double De Sousa totaled 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 FT), 14 rebounds and one block across 31 minutes during Monday's 64-63 1OT victory over Furman.

Impact Many might remember De Sousa from his days as a Kansas Jayhawk -- particularly for his involvement in a January 2020 brawl against Kansas State that resulted in a 12-game suspension. De Sousa left the KU program the following October and took the 2020-21 season off, but the 6-9 center is now the primary center and leading rebounder (7.0 rpg) for an upset-capable mid-major team in Chattanooga. He did miss a six-game stretch in February due to an abdominal injury, but De Sousa now appears to be back to full strength, having started three consecutive contests and recording his first double-double since Jan. 20. Foul trouble still remains a risk for those considering deploying him in daily fantasy contests, but there's still upside as a high-major talent who likely won't be under any restrictions as his collegiate career comes to a close.

Leaves basketball program De Sousa announced Friday via his personal Twitter account that he has opted to leave the Kansas basketball program.

Impact Citing personal reasons, De Sousa decided to move on from Kansas after three seasons with the program. De Sousa noted in his Twitter post that he hasn't decided what his next step will be, though he indicated he doesn't plan to play basketball at any point during the 2020-21 season. A highly regarded recruit from the 2017 cycle, the 6-foot-9, 245-pound De Sousa had a tumultuous stint in Lawrence. He missed nearly half of his true freshman season in 2017-18 due to his issues with his high school transcripts, then was suspended by the NCAA for the entire 2018-19 season after his name surfaced in the FBI probe into college basketball corruption. He returned for his junior season in 2019-20, averaging 2.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 8.4 minutes per game before sitting out Kansas' final 13 contests after being suspended for his role in a Jan. 21 on-court brawl with Kansas State players.
