The most important offseason move was Kansas beating out Kentucky for Stokes, the No. 1 overall prospect in the class of 2026. He replaces Peterson as the next star of the Jayhawks, while Kenney, a top-20 point guard, is another top-tier guard prospect.Â
Blyden and Parker’s impact in the backcourt will be key to watch. Reeves is a former top-100 prospect who started his career at Duke and is the likely starting center, while Dawes is a proven Big 12 product and will be surrounded by more talent than he had at Utah. If Stokes is an All-American, Kansas will be a top team nationally.
