Kansas basketball: 3 potential scenarios to round out the Jayhawks offseason

Scenario No. 2: Pursue a starting caliber forward/wing player.

Here is where it gets tricky. KJ Adams had a terrific sophomore season and will continue to get better this upcoming year. But what if Kansas wants to go all out and get someone like Grant Nelson? You can’t blame them — you must try to win at all costs.

This scenario is the least likely of the three. Although it seemed possible a few weeks ago, Kansas has not been linked to many transfers recently. The return of Kevin McCullar gives Kansas the wing they needed ever so badly.

There is also no reason to try to replace the Big 12’s Most Improved Player when we already saw him flourish in a role he wasn’t even supposed to be in last year. An argument can be made that KJ, as a junior, will be better than any transfer they can find.

If the Jayhawks want to go all out, this is not entirely out of the question. But unless Coach Self wants to recruit over one of the hardest workers on the team (probably not happening), we can forget about this one.
