Mere days before its first official action at Allen Fieldhouse during the 2024-25 season, the Kansas men’s basketball team earned a significant commitment for 2025-26. Darryn Peterson, a 6-foot-5 combo guard who ranks as the consensus No. 3 player in the 2025 recruiting class, announced on a 247Sports livestream Friday night that he will join the Jayhawks next year.

By halftime on Tuesday night, the Kansas men’s basketball team had made more 3-pointers — eight — than in all but one of its conference games last season.
