Kansas basketball Class of 2020 commits:

Bryce ThompsonThe Class of 2020 begins the string of players who really couldn’t make it at Kansas. An injury-plagued freshman year with plenty of struggles was more than enough of a reason for the former 5-star recruit to transfer after one season.

He now plays for inter-conference opponent Oklahoma State, and he’s actually done pretty well against his former school when they’ve faced off. Practically nothing good came out of the 2020-21 season, so Kansas basketball fans would likely rather forget that Thompson was ever here.

Gethro MuscadinOut of respect for him and his family, we won’t write anything basketball related about Gethro. The promising big man transferred to New Mexico after one season with the Jayhawks and passed away in a tragic car accident last year.

Latrell JossellJossell was a low-end 3-star who never had much of a shot to play at Kansas. He spent one year in Lawrence before transferring to Stephen F. Austin, where he is now a double-digit scorer. If you include Tyon Grant-Foster (who was a JUCO commit), all four members of this class left the program after one season.
