The evolving landscape of collegiate athletics continues to cast long shadows over offseason decision-making—and Kansas basketball guard Zeke Mayo just became the latest example of how murky things have gotten.

On Monday, Mayo announced via X (formerly Twitter) that he is entering the transfer portal due to “pending NCAA rules.” The 6-foot-3 guard also noted he’s still focused on pursuing professional basketball opportunities, but uncertainty regarding eligibility appears to have prompted a backup plan.

“Due to the pending NCAA rules, I have been advised to enter my name into the transfer portal,” Mayo posted. “I am still focused on pursuing professional options.”

The Kansas City Star later reported that if the NCAA ultimately grants an extra year of eligibility, Mayo would strongly consider returning to Lawrence. After a standout season in crimson and blue, it’s clear the Jayhawks would gladly have him back.

Mayo transferred to Kansas last offseason after three successful years at South Dakota State, where he developed into one of the Summit League’s top guards. In his lone season at KU, he made an immediate impact—starting 32 of 34 games and averaging 14.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists over 31.7 minutes per night. He emerged as the team’s most dangerous perimeter shooter, giving the Jayhawks a consistent scoring threat from deep.

Though Kansas’ 2023-24 campaign ended prematurely with a stunning round-of-64 exit in the NCAA tournament, Mayo was a bright spot in an otherwise up-and-down season. His ability to stretch the floor and create his own shot would make him a valuable veteran presence on what’s expected to be a younger KU roster next season.

But for now, Mayo’s future hinges on a bigger question—whether the NCAA will implement rule changes that grant additional eligibility for players in his situation. If not, his time in the college ranks may be done. If the rules swing his way, don’t be surprised if he’s suiting up for the Jayhawks again next winter.
