Grant Mordini Visits Kansas, Eyes Roster Spot

0:00On April 27, Kansas coach Bill Self just locked in transfer Christian Reeves from Charleston, but he's not done beefing up the front court for next. Season. Now, high school senior Grant Mordini, a 6'10-210-pound center from Abon Old Farms in Connecticut, is heading to Lawrence for an end. Official visits starting Monday, April 27. Earlier this week, Mordini posted on X about his excitement to check out KU Hoops campus. The J-Hawks also kept forward Paul Embiah in the fold after he backed off transfer portal plans, giving them solid depth already. Fans and scouts see Mordini as a true under the radar guy. No rankings on major sites and just one division one offer from UMKC. At this stage, he'd likely come on as a preferred walk-on, filling one of the six open roster spots out of 15 for the 2026, 27 squad. That means minimal minutes behind vets like Reeves, but he'd be a low-risk developmental piece who could spell guys in spa duty.

1:00Self-squat is shaping up smart, stacking experience without breaking the bank. With Mordini's visit kicking off soon, keep eyes on whether he buys into the rot chuck vision and rounds out this front court puzzle.
