The year in University of Kansas athletics was one of wild reversals of fortune. Teams like KU soccer and women’s basketball experienced some of their lowest lows and highest highs in the span of just a few weeks, ultimately rallying on their way to postseason success. Meanwhile, some of the biggest headlines of 2024 came from longstanding records that fell across the department, from running back and ...
The Kansas football team and its offensive line coach Daryl Agpalsa received an early Christmas gift on Tuesday night with the signing of UCLA transfer lineman Tavake Tuikolovatu, according to multiple reports. Tuikolovatu will have three years left to play.
