Plenty of the offseason discussion of the Kansas football team, especially before the Jayhawks have taken the field for spring practices, will inevitably center on the Jayhawks’ numerous and in many cases quite promising transfer-portal additions. That’s natural considering how much KU had to overhaul its roster, particularly at positions like running back, linebacker and safety, after an offseason that ...
