    Kansas on Wednesday landed a pledge from Iowa State transfer Jalen Coleman-Lands, who began his college career in 2015 and will turn 25 in July.

    This will be his fourth school in seven years.

    “I’m very excited,” Coleman-Lands told KansasCity.com. “Honestly with COVID, I was not able to see it (Allen Fieldhouse) full throttle. Watching them (Jayhawks) through my college years, this is something I’m looking forward to, seeing how they operate, how the coaching staff is, the players, and the overall experience.”

    The 6-foot-4 Indianapolis native averaged 14.3 points and 3.9 rebounds last season at Iowa State. He shot 43.5 percent from the field and 39.5 percent behind the arc, ranking ninth and third in the league, respectively .

    Before that he played two seasons each at DePaul and Illinois separated by a redshirt season in the middle.

    Kansas is adding several transfers including guards Remy Martin (Arizona State) and Joseph Yesufu (Drake) and forwards Cam Martin (Missouri Southern) and Sydney Curry (John A. Logan College).

    The Jayhawks also add guards Bobby Pettiford Jr. and Kyle Cuffe Jr. and forwards Zach Clemence and K.J. Adams in the Class of 2021.
