LAWRENCE — Kansas basketball’s offseason, following the 2025-26 season, has by no means been a quiet one.
There was the early speculation surrounding a potential retirement from coach Bill Self, before the revelation he would be coming back to KU. There have been the various departures from this past season’s roster, whether to the professional ranks or the transfer portal, and the many additions that have been made. Kansas also earned the signing of 247Sports No. 1 prospect in the class of 2026 Tyran Stokes, who’ll look to help the Jayhawks reach the second weekend of the NCAA tournament for the first time since the team won a national ***** le in 2022.
