Lee has been back home in Finland most of the summer, and ODU coach Blaine Taylor expects him to return to Norfolk just before school starts.

Lee, the Monarchs’ leading scorer and rebounder last season, took two classes at ODU early this summer before heading home.

Coaches have corresponded with Lee via e-mail this summer, and Taylor said Lee is “having a good summer by all reports.”
