Rakease Passmore
Passmore emerged as a potential KU target immediately after Jalil Bethea reportedly silently committed to Miami on his official visit. He is a tremendous athlete as a 6-foot-5 forward and is a consensus top-50 player in his class.
Arkansas and Oklahoma are in good standing with him, but Kansas is making an effort to jump in last minute. Passmore would be a tremendous addition to the 2024 class and a potential three to four-year player.
