Kansas basketball has one of the most well-built rosters in the sport, but it is a far from perfect squad. What are the team’s strengths and weaknesses?

A college basketball roster with as much turnover as the Kansas Jayhawks have had this offseason is a rarity, even in today’s game. Considering the Jayhawks won the Big 12 and earned a one-seed in the NCAA Tournament, for them to only return three scholarship players (assuming Udeh doesn’t return) is wild to think about. One and dones, transfers, and the still looming “Covid year” are all factors for nearly every team, and they will certainly play a huge role in how KU does this upcoming season and probably beyond that.

These are the strengths and weaknesses of the Kansas basketball roster heading into the 2023-24 season.
