With a potential No. 1 NBA Draft pick and a portal strategy focused on 'fit', Bill Self is hopeful Kansas will bounce back from a down year.

Jacque Vaughn, whose #11 jersey hangs retired in the Allen Fieldhouse rafters, is returning to his alma mater as an assistant coach.

Five-star recruit Darryn Peterson is one of the consensus two best players in the 2025 recruiting class, alongside A.J. Dybantsa.

After a 37-year-old coaching career, Bill Self’s lifelong assistant Norm Roberts is calling it a day. The coach had stints as an assistant at Oral Roberts, Tulsa, Illinois, Florida, Queen, St. John’s and Kansas. The Jayhawks, his team for the past 14 years, honored the iconic assistant coach with an Instagram post on Monday.

The Kansas Jayhawks have been well recognized for having a world-class college basketball program under the leadership of head coach Bill Self for the past several years. Self recently led the Jayhawks to another NCAA Tournament trip, suffering a loss to Arkansas in the first round.

It was a tough 2024-25 season for Kansas and hoops analysts aren't taking it easy on Bill Self's team in the offseason.

“Corbin will be a nice addition to our program,” Self said Tuesday. “He had a great high school career at Oak Park and has been well coached by our own Kansas alum Sherron Collins. We feel Corbin can be a contributor in time and we look forward to helping him develop and watching his progress.”
