Kansas Losing Star Forward Tiller to Missouri

About this episode

Kansas Jayhawks suffered a disappointing 2025-2026 season, ending with a 23-10 record and an early NCAA Tournament exit. The offseason is even more challenging with seven players, including promising forward Bryson Tiller, leaving through the transfer portal. Tiller, a top-11 recruit, averaged 7.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. His departure to border rival Missouri Tigers, who also gained transfers from Providence and Tennessee, is a significant blow. Kansas coach Bill Self is swiftly rebuilding, signing former Utah forward Keanu Dawes as a potential Tiller replacement. Despite the portal activity, Selfs team remains focused on reloading and aiming for the championship next winter.
