In Craig Young, Kansas football adds Ohio State transfer 'looking for that fresh start'

Once Craig Young decided to transfer from Ohio State in December, he knew he didn't want to make the same mistake twice. Young was considered one of the top high school football prospects in Indiana and was pursued by several top Big Ten programs before he committed to play for the Buckeyes in June 2018. But he never felt truly comfortable in Columbus, even though he played in 26 games over three seasons. His ...

Kansas women's basketball, happy with 3-game winning streak, has sights set higher

Winning three consecutive Big 12 games may not seem like much of a cause for celebration, but Kansas women's basketball coach Brandon Schneider wants his players to do that anyway. The Jayhawks, who enter Wednesday's game at West Virginia on a three-game winning streak, hadn't accomplished that feat during Schneider's seven seasons until they beat TCU at Allen Fieldhouse on Sunday. "I think anytime they hear ...

Christian Braun, Ochai Agbaji lift No. 10 Kansas basketball to emphatic win vs. No. 8 Baylor

Christian Braun and Ochai Agbaji each had a team-high 18 points and Jalen Wilson added 15 as No. 10 Kansas defeated No. 8 Baylor 83-59 on Saturday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.

Their lead hit 34 points with 3:37 remaining, marking the largest deficit Baylor had ...

KU basketball's main focus — 'keep rebounding' — pays off in win vs. Baylor

Ochai Agbaji didn't want to let an opportunity go to waste. The No. 10 Kansas basketball team knew it was facing one of the best rebounding teams in the Big 12 in No. 8 Baylor on Saturday, and when several rebounds fell into the Jayhawks' hands early, Agbaji knew it was an advantage they had to maintain. "I think when we first came into the game, that was our main focus — just to rebound," he said after KU's ...

Kansas' Joe Yesufu 'starting to feel like the old Joe' with No. 8 Baylor looming

Joe Yesufu stood in the corner, his right wrist bent on the follow-through, admiring his shot. The sophomore guard who transferred to Kansas after last season coolly knocked down a 3-pointer that halted whatever momentum Iowa State had tried to gain in the second half on Tuesday. It was the signature offensive moment of the game for Yesufu, who stepped up in Ochai Agbaji's absence during the Jayhawks' 70-61 ...

On signing day, Kansas football coach Lance Leipold prioritizes experience

Lance Leipold is all about finding the right balance. As the Kansas football coach completed his first recruiting class, he learned that doing so isn't always going to be easy. Leipold formalized the completion of a 14-player class on Wednesday, one that includes seven players on offense and seven players on defense. That split may suggest Leipold has achieved what he wanted. But the Jayhawks, one of the ...
