Bill Self is back for another season with the Kansas Jayhawks. That’s the good news.
The uncertain reality is what every college basketball offseason features now: the transfer portal.
Kansas, like every other program, has to figure out how to navigate the players who are leaving and the guys they might find to fill their spots.
The Jayhawks already have four players who are out of college eligibility, assuming they aren’t granted a bonus year: Melvin Council Jr., Tre White, Jayden Dawson and Nginyu Ngala.
Then there’s Darryn Peterson, who will be leaving for the NBA.
Beyond that, though, there’s plenty more news to come. We’ll track the happenings below.
