What's it like welcoming back Council and White? Jayhawks explain

Kansas wing Kohl Rosario was getting accustomed to his teammates referring to him as “the senior” or “the old man of the group” — a bit of a stretch for a sophomore, not to mention one who had reclassified to join the Jayhawks in the summer of 2025 in the first place. But it made at least a little bit of sense given that until recently, Rosario and center Paul Mbiya were the only returning players ...

KU soccer tops K-State 2-0 in Manhattan

The Kansas soccer team bounced back on Thursday night with a 2-0 win in the Sunflower Showdown at Buser Family Park in Manhattan. Kansas State, which held the Jayhawks scoreless and to just four shots prior to halftime, eventually gave way to Jordan Rowan in the 50th minute and Jocelyn Herrema in the 66th for a pair of goals. “This was a really important and big win,” KU coach Nate Lie said. “I have a ...

Harris leading way for KU defense amid impressive start

The increased confidence of Kansas’ defense has been a significant talking point early this season as, through four games, the Jayhawks rank among the top defenses in the country in yards allowed. “Their communication across the board, getting everyone on the same page and then being able to grow within this defense and some of those things, I think are all (contributing) factors,” head coach Lance ...

How Cummings-Coleman's running-back experiment came to be

Khijohnn Cummings-Coleman didn’t have the most restful trip back from London. The Kansas redshirt sophomore defensive back had seen what was going on in his team's running-back room, with Kory Amachree and Justin Thurman already out for the long term and, most recently, Yasin Willis potentially done for the season as well. And so, in the wake of KU's loss to Arizona State, Cummings-Coleman began to develop an ...

Evaluating Council's return and its potential impact on the KU roster

As Kansas coach Bill Self put it last week before cementing Melvin Council Jr.’s return to Lawrence, the addition of one more player beyond Tre White — occupying the Jayhawks’ 15th roster spot — could yield “a crowded house in many ways.” But, he added, “Whatever makes the team better, I think they’ll be OK with that.” It’s hard to argue that bringing back the Big 12 newcomer of the year, ...
