Even after all those additions, the Jayhawks still needed a high-profile frontcourt player. On Tuesday, Bill Self hosted Texas Tech transfer Darrion Williams, one of the top players in the portal, who had recently withdrawn from the NBA Draft, for an official visit. He left Lawrence without committing.

The Kansas Jayhawks haven't done much in the portal, but they must add someone else to be a contending program this season.

With a potential No. 1 NBA Draft pick and a portal strategy focused on 'fit', Bill Self is hopeful Kansas will bounce back from a down year.

The Kansas Jayhawks have been one of the premier college basketball programs in the country over the past two decades, led by head coach Bill Self. Last season, Kansas entered the year as the No. 1 team in the AP preseason poll.

Head coach Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks have been working hard on the recruiting front this offseason. Their 2025 class is headlined by the signing of five-star Darryn Peterson.

Former KU point guard Jacque Vaughn, who has three head coaching stints in the NBA, most recently with the Brooklyn Nets from 2022 to ’24, has agreed to join Bill Self’s staff at Kansas ...

“Corbin will be a nice addition to our program,” Self said Tuesday. “He had a great high school career at Oak Park and has been well coached by our own Kansas alum Sherron Collins. We feel Corbin can be a contributor in time and we look forward to helping him develop and watching his progress.”

It was a tough 2024-25 season for Kansas and hoops analysts aren't taking it easy on Bill Self's team in the offseason.
