The Kansas basketball season began with promise as the No. 1 team in the AP Poll ended in disappointment, with the Jayhawks failing to win an NCAA Tournament game. That alone would likely have prompted changes for the 2025-26 Kansas basketball roster, but the rules of college eligibility also mandate changes. The Jayhawks’ top four scorers are all out of eligibility, including three-time AP All-America selection Hunter Dickinson.
A program like Kansas reloads instead of rebuilds, so you can expect the Jayhawks to lean on the college basketball transfer portal to strengthen the 2025-26 Kansas basketball roster. Who will Bill Self pluck from the portal to pair with Darryn Peterson, an incoming recruit who is ranked No. 2 overall by 247Sports?

Kansas basketball roster news
After having half a dozen players enter the portal, the Jayhawks got some good news on Sunday when one of those six withdrew his name. Flory Bidunga, who was a five-star recruit out of high school, and the top-ranked center in the transfer portal, is returning to Kansas for his sophomore season. Bidunga averaged 5.9 points and 5.4 rebounds last season as a reserve but is in line to see much more playing time with the departure of Dickinson, in addition to four other starters.
A player that Self would like to add alongside Bidunga in Kansas’ lineup is guard Rodney Rice. He spent last year at Maryland, where he averaged 13.8 points for a Sweet 16 team, after beginning his career at Virginia Tech. Rice has two years of eligibility remaining and is the No. 5 shooting guard in the portal. Kansas is one of many big-time programs that are interested in Rice’s services as the likes of Kentucky, Gonzaga and UConn have also been in contact with him since entering the portal.
