Griffen is the most obvious replacement for Rogers, and he might have been higher on the coaching staff's list regardless. Kansas was one of the first schools to contact Griffen when he entered the transfer portal, and for good reason. He played a key role in Alabama's Final Four run this season.
The 6-foot-5 wing can shoot the three at a high clip and is a much more well-rounded player than Rogers. The Jayhawks recruited him heavily out of high school, but Coach Self has a second chance at landing him. This time, there's an even greater chance that things work out. Griffen could be the wing replacement for Johnny Furphy if he leaves for the NBA Draft.
