Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas coach Bill Self is fond of saying that freshman guard Darryn Peterson is able to see the game in slow motion. It’s an attribute Self usually associates with veteran players, but one that Peterson has cultivated at a young age. “To be 18 and be able to slow the game down like that and be so cerebral and take everything in without being fazed, we try to just push him in practice to ...
Amid all of the roster turnover that the Kansas baseball team endured this offseason, KU always had a foundational piece in the fold in pitcher Dominic Voegele. The question, entering his third collegiate season, is whether the Jayhawks’ ace can retain the form that earned him Big 12 freshman of the year honors in 2024.

It’s hard to know what to make of the Kansas defense, even with a fairly large sample size to consider seven games into the 2025 season. The Jayhawks’ young secondary has looked better than expected for much of the season, but got torn apart in a home loss to Cincinnati.
