A University of Kansas basketball recruit whose right foot was severed after he tried to jump a moving train still will receive a scholarship to the institution, Kansas chancellor Gene A. Budig said.

Christopher Lindley, 17, a standout at Raytown South High School in Kansas City, Mo., remained in serious condition Monday at Truman Medical Center. His foot was amputated after the accident Saturday night, and his left foot was also injured.

Lindley, a 6-foot-9 senior, signed a letter of intent in November to play at Kansas.
