Kansas basketball only has one commit in their 2021 recruiting class so far but that could change in a hurry.

Despite NCAA allegations and the coronavirus, the Kansas basketball coaching staff has been hard at work recruiting the class of 2021. So far, the Jayhawks only have one commit, but there are some pretty big names interested in Kansas.

The one commit the Jayhawks have landed so far is Zach Clemence, a four-star forward out of Sunrise Christian Academy in Wichita. Clemence is ranked as the No. 33 overall player in the country according to 247Sports, so he was a great pickup for Kansas.

With the commitment of Clemence alone, the Jayhawks have the No. 15 overall class in the country according to 247.

One recruit that the Jayhawks seem to be trending with is Kendall Brown, a five-star guard that is a Kansas native and also attends Sunrise Christian Academy. Brown has a Crystal Ball prediction in favor of Kansas, and it’s also worth noting that he and Clemence are teammates.

Brown currently holds offers from a number of schools, including Maryland, Illinois, Ohio State, Arizona, Creighton, Baylor, and Iowa State. Hopefully, Clemence can work on Brown and try and get him committed to the Jayhawks.

Kansas is also in the hunt for five-star guard Hunter Sallis from Nebraska. Sallis is another highly-recruited prospect with offers from Gonzaga, North Carolina, Louisville, UCLA, Oregon, Florida State, and many other schools.

247Sports ranks Sallis as a top 20 prospect in the class, and if the Jayhawks can land Sallis as well as Brown, the Jayhawks would easily have one of the best recruiting classes in the entire country.

Kansas basketball always seems to reload with great talent when they need it most, and it looks like the recruiting class of 2021 will be no different. All Bill Self and the Jayhawks need are a couple more pieces to fall into place, and Kansas will have a very special group,
