The college basketball transfer portal is open until April 22 and programs across the country are scrambling to find veteran players who can make an immediate impact. Kansas basketball began the 2024-25 season at No. 1 in the polls, but ended the year with 13 losses (their most since 1982-83) while failing to win an NCAA Tournament game for the first time since 2006. Now, the Jayhawks will lose their top four scorers to graduation, but this could be the perfect opportunity to reset the Kansas basketball roster. Kansas signed the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2025 (Darryn Peterson) and will set out to build a Kansas basketball lineup that can maximize talent.

Who are the top Kansas basketball transfer targets and what other recruiting moves is head coach Bill Self making to stop the slide to mediocrity?

Kansas basketball roster news

In addition to signing the No. 1 high school recruit in the country in the Class of 2025, Self and his staff are also expected to host the No. 1 player in the Class of 2026 this weekend. Junior Tyran Stokes is a 6-foot-7, 245-pound forward out of Sherman Oaks, Calif., and he’ll check out Lawrence for his first visit since taking a trip to Louisville in October. Stokes helped lead USA Basketball to gold at the FIBA U17 world championships and Kansas is competing against the likes of Louisville, Kentucky, North Carolina and Alabama, among others.

However, the more immediate priority is going to be using the college basketball transfer portal to help build around Peterson. Self already landed commitments from Illinois wing Tre White and Loyola Chicago guard Jayden Dawson, but he still has five open scholarships to fill. Top remaining transfer targets include Xaivian Lee (Princeton), Melvin Council Jr. (St. Bonaventure), Duke Brennan (Grand Canyon) and Cedric Coward (Washington State). Get the latest Kansas basketball roster news at Phog.net.

The Panthers, the bad boys of the NHL, are ‘very comfortable with who they are’

SUNRISE, Fla. — The Florida Panthers are not only the resident bad boys of the National Hockey League, but they’re also the defending Stanley Cup champions.They illustrated both facts on Monday.Florida threw a couple of flagrantly illegal hits, killed a five-minute major penalty while trailing in the third period, overcame the sobering ruling of a game-tying call being overruled by an offside challenge, tied the game anyway and used a dramatic spurt to push the Lightning to the brink in a 4-2 victory.AdvertisementEverything about this night was a microcosm of why the Panthers have owned the Eastern Conference for the past three seasons and why they appear to have surpassed their bitter rivals for potentially long-term state bragging rights.

Cavaliers crush Heat in most lopsided series in NBA playoff history: Historic sweep by the numbers

Getty Images Sometimes, series that end in four games can be closer and more competitive than the word "sweep" suggests.

Astros’ Jose Altuve asks to move out of leadoff spot for more time to prepare after playing left field

For the first time in nearly two years, Jose Altuve did not bat in the leadoff spot when the Houston Astros played the Detroit Tigers on Monday.The 15-year veteran requested the change, according to Astros manager Joe Espada.
