This Origin Post is updated throughout the year with the latest summary data for Kansas Men's Basketball recruiting as of the date shown in the Subject line. This one post gives the reader a snapshot of the known and rumored status of KUMBB recruiting as of that date. Subsequent posts in this thread will contain later information or comments as events unfold, but the data those posts contain will be summarized in this origin post as appropriate.
For your easy reference, you can click here to see last season's recruiting thread.
And you can click here for information on the NCAA recruiting calendar for the academic year..
Enjoy!
I started this late this time around (November 2024), so a lot of history that might normally be included won’t be this time.
REQUEST TO RCBers
In an effort to keep recruiting information and Q&As easily accessible in one thread, please consider posting your recruiting comments and questions for this recruiting season in this pinned thread. Alternatively I will post a link here to your post in order to keep the recruiting info connected.
Also, if you know of an error or omission, please let me know so I can correct it.
Thank you and ROCK CHALK JAY HAWK K U!

DEPARTING PLAYERS AFTER AY2024-25 ((S)cholarship, (W)alk-on, *past red shirt)
NB: Due to COVID19, the NCAA approved an additional year of eligibility and another year to use it in for all AY2020-21 players. The first “Super Seniors” did not count against original team scholarship limits for AY2021-22 to give programs some flexibility in transitioning to the new rule. All subsequent year Super Seniors through AY2025-26 (final year for redshirted SSrs) count against roster and scholarship totals. A © indicates a player eligible for an extra Covid year. See RCB: COVID-19 Super Seniors Basic Info for a more through explanation.

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE UPDATED 2024-11-19
14 (Final installment of the NCAA penalty to be taken AY2025-26, when scholarship and roster limits change to 15 players)
- 7 returning scholarship players (after known EEs/Transfers out)
= 7 openings (after known EEs/Transfers Out)
- 3 new scholarship players (HS recruits, transfers in, upgraded walk-ons?)
∴ 4 scholarships available as of update date
KUMBB used all 13 scholarships for AY2024-25, so the final penalty scholarship loss must be taken in AY2025-26. The changes in scholarship caps and roster limits for AY2025-26 are part of a major settlement agreement involving three lawsuits against the NCAA and the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC: House v. NCAA, Hubbard v. NCAA and Carter v. NCAA. Accordingly, KU will have 14 scholarship players plus 1 walk-on available next AY, then be at a full 15 player roster and 15 scholarships possible starting AY2026-27.
