Monday night saw the biggest remaining name in the NCAA Transfer Portal find his newest home as Iowa State forward Milan Momcilovic joined the Kentucky Wildcats, meaning 99 of the top 100 transfers, according to 247Sports, have found a new program.
For those who were wondering, of the maximum 15 players a team can have, the Kansas Jayhawks are currently set to enlist 13 on their roster for next season.
Those names are listed below alongside their eligibility and estimated position.
Point guard: Taylen Kinney (freshman)
Shooting guard: Leroy Blyden Jr (sophomore) Kohl Rosario (sophomore), Dennis Parker Jr. (senior), Luke Barnett (freshman)
Small forward: Tyran Stokes (freshman), Trent Perry (freshman), Atticus Richmond (freshman)
Power forward: Keanu Dawes (senior), Davion Adkins (freshman)
Center: Paul Mbiya (sophomore), Christian Reeves (senior), Grand Mordini (freshman)
With two spots remaining ahead of next season, the Jayhawks still can go after others; however, with Bill Self mentioning earlier this week that the Jayhawks went “in” for freshman phenom Tyran Stokes, the remaining NIL budget may not be high enough to go after any of the sparse big hitters.
Self gives blunt answer when asked if the roster is complete ahead of next season
“Do I think we're done with significant roster changes? Probably, but we still have a couple of guys we can bring in, but can we get a steal? Absolutely. We'll try to do that,” quoted Self.
Kansas’ most recent additions of Grant Mordini and Atticus Richmond likely serve as a tell that the Jayhawks are nearing the end of the roster compilation, as the pair will likely be playing bit-part roles next season.
“But the reality is the big players have been gone for the most part, I think,” finished Self.
Is Self’s roster good enough to compete?
There have been conflicting opinions on the quality of the incoming squad. With opinions largely split, sometimes the best thing you can do is take a look back at last season and see if those previous flaws have been improved on.
In the 2025/26 campaign, the Jayhawks were dominant defensively. Despite playing against some of the nation’s top schools day after day, Kansas finished with the nation’s 9th-highest defensive rating according to KenPom (93.5).
While it is hard to measure projected defensive impacts in the offseason, losing the likes of Flory Bidunga, who saw his stock soar last season, will hurt as Bidunga’s defensive impact stretched larger than just the paint.
However, the Jayhawks have enlisted a much deeper rotation. Last season, Self hardly went to the bench and Kansas’ offense lagged because of it. With the likes of Rosario, Reeves, Parker, Perry, Barnett and Adkins all with potential roles off the bench, then those issues look like they are coming to an end.
With limited stars and a limited budget left, Kansas will have to make an acute move to add another key piece to a rotation that is finally driving competition. A welcome change from last season, where alterations were forced via injury over anything else.
