With 16 Final Four appearances and four national championships, Kansas basketball is one of the most well-respected programs in collegiate athletics. However, the expectations are high at Kansas and Bill Self’s squad is coming off the program’s worst season since 1982-83. The Jayhawks lost 13 games in 2024-25 despite beginning the season at No. 1 in the AP Top 25 and failed to win an NCAA Tournament game for the first time since 2006, Self’s third season at the helm in Lawrence. Self is a two-time national champion who has bought himself leeway at Kansas, but the Jayhawks’ fan base is growing restless and Self could use a quick turnaround.

Kansas basketball roster news
The Kansas basketball roster for 2025-26 is starting to take shape after a couple recent additions. The Jayhawks will welcome back five scholarship players from last year’s roster, have two incoming freshmen in the Class of 2025 (including No. 1 overall recruit Darryn Peterson) and have already accepted two commitments in the college basketball transfer portal. Jayden Dawson of Loyola Chicago and Tre White of Illinois have both committed to play for Self next season and should provide immediate boosts.
However, there are still five scholarships available this offseason and Kansas is hot on the trail of highly-coveted Princeton point guard Xaivian Lee. The two-time All-Ivy League selection averaged 16.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game last season and is rated as a four-star prospect and No. 6 point guard in the 247Sports transfer portal rankings. Lee visited Lawrence this weekend and is considering Kansas along with St. John’s and Florida. Get the latest Kansas basketball roster news at Phog.net.
