It's unclear when the video was filmed, but it surfaced Thursday. Lawson and his brother Dedric announced Monday they're transferring to Kansas.

K.J. averaged 12.3 points per game as a sophomore, while his brother notched 19.2 points.
The brothers contemplated leaving the Tigers last year after Smith replaced Josh Pastner as head coach, but decided to stay once Smith agreed to retain their father as an assistant.
