Players in the NCAA transfer portal that the Kansas Jayhawks have reached out to
Now that the Kansas basketball season is over, it is time to start looking at players the team is targeting in the portal. Here are each of the transfers the Jayhawks' coaching staff has reached out to.
G Ja’Kobi Gillespie - Belmont
2023-24 Statistics: 25 G, 17.2 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 4.2 APG, 2.2 SPG, 56.1% FG, 1.6 3PM, 38.7% 3PT
Gillespie is an uber-talented guard who hit the portal after two seasons of college ball. The sophomore from Belmont is uncharacteristically efficient for a guard, shooting an unreal 66.0% from inside the arc and 73.0% at the rim, good for 94th percentile in NCAA Division I.
In addition to his elite offensive numbers, he was an All-MVC Defensive First Team honoree this year. If Kansas is looking at mid-major guards, Gillespie is likely at the top of its list, though it would be difficult for the 6-footer to take minutes away from Harris.
