Kansas basketball projected for new season in early top 25 polls
Summary

Kansas basketball's roster will undergo significant changes ahead of the 2026-27 season. With the early speculation surrounding coach Bill Self's retirement settled, the team has lost players to both the professional ranks and the transfer portal. Kansas signed 247Sports' No. 1 prospect, Tyran Stokes, to bolster its roster. ESPN ranks Kansas 23rd in its early top 25 projections, while Sports Illustrated places them at 19th. CBS Sports lists the Jayhawks just outside the top 25 at 26th due to lost production from the previous season.
