The Kansas football program is now poised to bring in two first-year quarterbacks in time for spring practices. Conrad Hawley, a state title-winning QB from Ray-Pec High, in Missouri, announced Tuesday he plans to not only sign with the Jayhawks but also enroll early. Just like Indiana prep QB Ben Easters, who signed with KU in December, Hawley will enroll for the spring semester and be able to train and ...
The best basketball player in the Big 12 took down the best basketball program in the Big 12 Tuesday night at Oklahoma State. Months away from becoming a millionaire, Cade Cunningham showed Kansas and anyone willing to shell out a few extra bucks for ESPN+ why some lucky NBA team is likely to select him No. 1 overall in the 2021 draft.

Crunch time brings out the best in the Jayhawks’ redshirt freshman starter. That was the ...
Look at where David McCormack’s shot attempts came from in his season-high scoring night at TCU earlier this week, and it’s not surprising that the Kansas veteran big man enjoyed his most productive offensive game to date. KU’s junior pivot scored a season-best 20 points — marking the second time in his college career he put up at least that many — on 7-for-9 shooting. His 77.8% field goal percentage ...
