K.J. Lawson, who announced his transfer from Memphis to Kansas this week, has apologized for explicit remarks he made against Tigers coach Tubby Smith.

In a Snapchat video that circulated on social media Thursday, Lawson looked into a camera and said, "F--- Tubby."

Lawson, who transferred to Kansas with brother and Memphis star Dedric Lawson, apologized for his "inexcusable behavior" in a tweet late Thursday.

A source close to the situation said Lawson is not expected to lose his scholarship offer from the Jayhawks, who were plagued by off-the-court drama throughout the 2016-17 season.

Lawson's departure from Memphis, where his father, Keelon Lawson, was the director of player personnel under Smith, extended an exodus from the Memphis program. The Tigers have lost their top three scorers from last season to the transfer market and six of their top eight scorers overall.

Jayhawks coach Bill Self not only lured both K.J. Lawson and Dedric Lawson to Lawrence, but he's also in a good position to land their brothers, Chandler (a top-25 recruit in the 2019 class) and Johnathan (an elite eighth-grader). The Lawsons' move could also affect D.J. Jeffries, their cousin and the No. 6 recruit in the 2019 class, per ESPN's rankings.

Last season, K.J. averaged 12.3 points and 8.1 rebounds for Memphis, and Dedric averaged 19.2 points and 9.9 rebounds.
