Prior to 2024-25, in 21 seasons as the head coach of Kansas Jayhawks basketball, Bill Self had only failed to win a game in the NCAA Tournament twice. However, despite starting the season at No. 1 in the AP Top 25, Kansas was bounced in the first round of the 2025 NCAA Tournament by Arkansas. The loss capped a 21-13 season, the most losses that Kansas has suffered since 1982-83 when Ted Owens was in charge. With Kansas basketball also set to suffer heavy losses to graduation this offseason, Self must turn his attention to the college basketball transfer portal to revamp the Kansas basketball roster.

Kansas basketball roster news

At the moment, Kansas has five scholarship players set to return next season, two high-profile recruits in the Class of 2025 that have already signed and two commitments in the college basketball transfer portal. That leaves the Jayhawks with as many as five open roster spots that they'll primarily be looking to fill in the portal and they're already showing interest in some of the top available players.

It's not surprising that RJ Luis Jr. decided to dip his toes into the NBA draft waters after winning Big East Player of the Year honors for St. John's, but it was a surprise when he also entered the portal. If he doesn't receive the evaluation that he's hoping for and decides to return to college, Kansas would certainly be an option to further boost his profile. Luis averaged 18.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game and would give the Jayhawks a dynamic duo on the wing with No. 2 overall prospect and likely 2026 lottery pick Darryn Peterson joining the roster. Get the latest Kansas basketball roster news at Phog.net.
