The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 5.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game in his freshman year.

He will be returning to Bill Self’s team, joining a promising recruiting class headlined by No. 2 prospect Darryn Peterson. Kansas has also signed Loyola-Chicago transfer Jayden Dawson and Illinois transfer Tre White as they look to rebuild their roster after a first round loss in this year’s NCAA Tournament.
