The Kansas Jayhawks’ season is over after their loss in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, so changes will be coming to the roster. It is time to examine which players are joining and leaving the historic program.
Which Players Are Joining Kansas?
As things stand, the Jayhawks will have two great recruits joining them next season.
Darryn Peterson, SG
The Napa, California native is one of the elite high school recruits in the entire country. According to 247 Sports, Peterson is the second-ranked recruit in the 2025 class and the top recruit coming out of the state of California this year. Standing at 6’5″ and weighing 190 pounds, look for the scorer to make his mark in Lawrence.
Samis Calderon, SF
The four-star small forward from Atlanta is ready to make his time count with head coach Bill Self. Standing at 6’8″ and weighing 200 pounds, Calderon boasts great size and ability on both ends of the court. His athleticism likely will have a significant impact on his Jayhawks teammates.
Which Players Are Leaving Kansas?
Hunter Dickinson, C
The All-American center will soon be headed to the next level as his time with the Jayhawks is over. A double-double machine for Bill Self, the former Michigan man’s presence will greatly be missed in the middle of the paint on both sides of the floor.
DaJuan Harris Jr., PG
The Jayhawks are also losing their floor general, DaJuan Harris Jr. A former Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, Harris was a key member of the team’s national title team in 2022. Time will tell where he will end up in the coming months.
Zeke Mayo, G
The former South Dakota State transfer was a quality role player for Self and the Jayhawks this past season. He scored nearly 15.0 points per game and shot close to 40.0% from three-point range.
