Kansas head coach Bill Self
Kansas has already secured commitments from two guards in the transfer portal, indicating an ongoing effort to bolster their roster. Among the players under consideration is Rylan Griffen, a talented guard from Alabama. Griffen, a rising junior, delivered a solid performance in the previous season, averaging 11.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game. Following his entry into the transfer portal, Kansas promptly initiated an in-home visit with Griffen and his family in the Dallas area, emphasizing their interest in acquiring his talents.
Having played a crucial role for Alabama, Griffen’s contributions were instrumental in the team’s journey to the Final Four. His impressive statistics, including a notable shooting efficiency, underscore his value as a potential addition to the Jayhawks’ lineup. Ranked as one of the top transfers in the portal by 247Sports, Griffen’s standing highlights his desirability among collegiate programs seeking talent.
The transfer portal, open from March 18th to May 1st, provides opportunities for players to explore new options and potentially switch schools. Notably, recent NCAA regulations may impact the transfer market, with players expected to be immediately eligible for the upcoming season. This shift in eligibility criteria adds further intrigue to the evolving landscape of collegiate basketball.
