Lawrence AP Coach Roy Williams criticized Julian Winfield for backing away from a pledge to join Kansas.

Williams praised the player but called the move a serious misjudgment hurting Kansas basketball. Winfield, a Parade All American, averaged 9.5 points and 5.8 rebounds last season and will sit out this year.
