Kansas Lands Key Transfers, Eyes Top Recruits

0:00On April 22nd, Kansas just snagged two key transfers to start the 2026 portal cycle. Coach Bill's self brought in former Utah forward, Keanu Dawes in All-MagGuard, Lee Roy Blight in Jr. to fill starting roles. Right now, the J-Hawks have only seven scholarships locked for next season, maybe eight if Paul Mambia sticks around without hitting the portal. Earlier this week, ESPN's Jeff Borzello laid out a smart off-season blueprint for Kansas. Their roster hinges on landing class of 2026 Phenom Tyron Stokes, but they still need shooters on the wing and size of Pratt no matter. What? Fans are buzzing about how these moves could rebuild after a thin squad. Blighting gives them gar punch. Dawes adds forward depth, but the real impact kits if they grab wings who can score from deep and bigs who protect the rim. Victoria's Miller from Oklahoma State looks like a prime fit on the wing. This six-foot-five-scorer averaged 10.8 points last year and kicked off an official visit to Lawrence on Monday.

Michigan leads after his visit there, so Kansas might pivot to Charlottes Anton Bonke, or Charleston's Christian Reeves, both already checked out. Lawrence, self-squad is gearing up fast, and these next commitments could make or break their run.
