Players in the transfer portal the Kansas Jayhawks have reached out to

Graham Ike (Wyoming) 6’9″, 245 lbs — 19.5 PPG, 9.6 RPG, 1.3 APG, 51.0% FG

Ike was poised to be one of the nation’s top big men after a breakout year in 2021-22. Instead, he did not take the floor once during his junior season while recovering from a foot injury. Although he has not played a five-on-five basketball game in a long time, he is expected to have fully recovered in 2023-24.

The Wyoming center is the definition of a true big man. He uses brute strength in the low block to back down opposing defenders and score with various post moves. Nearly all of his points come in the paint, but he averaged an impressive 6.7 free throws per game at a 71.6% clip.

He is arguably the best player that Kansas has contacted thus far — Ike has reportedly spoken to multiple Big 12 schools. Although he will have to get back into the swing of things after missing so much time, Ike would fit in perfectly alongside KJ Adams to serve as the team’s five-man.
