Bryant taking ownership as secondary looks to improve

What's the next step for Kansas corner Cobee Bryant, after he earned first-team all-conference honors in Kansas' resurgent 2022 football season? “I’m going to shock the world again like always," he said Sunday. "Me and the DB group.” Bryant provided plenty of flashy plays for the Jayhawks in his sophomore season, none more prominent than a game-sealing overtime interception against West Virginia in KU's ...

Big 12 news provides another boost to KU's Arizona recruiting

One of the defining accomplishments of the Kansas football team's offseason was building a recruiting pipeline in Arizona from virtually nothing. The Jayhawks, who have just one native of the Copper State on their current roster (that would be cornerback Kwinton Lassiter, who actually attended high school in Lawrence at Free State) have earned commitments from four Arizona denizens in the class of 2024 to come ...

Three storylines to watch as KU women's basketball heads off to Europe

Looking to build on the two most successful seasons of head coach Brandon Schneider’s tenure by far, the Kansas women’s basketball team will get an early start in the coming days on its next campaign.

Returning talent means more mouths to feed, more wrinkles to add for Kotelnicki

Andy Kotelnicki, the Kansas football team's offensive coordinator, envisions the Kansas football team's workload as a pie. That pie, he said Thursday, comprises 803 cumulative snaps — the average of 73 offensive plays per team in a Big 12 Conference game, with 11 players — to be distributed among the different members of his unit. Even within the tight end room, his primary responsibility as a position ...

KU men's basketball opens exhibition trip with 106-71 victory over Puerto Rico Select

If perimeter shooting is a weakness for Kansas men's basketball ahead of the 2023-24 season — and Bill Self had told reporters as much entering the Jayhawks' summer trip to Puerto Rico — then the first exhibition game on the trip meant a small step toward assuaging that concern. Facing off against a Puerto Rico Select team Thursday afternoon, KU shot 13-for-31 (42%) from long distance at the Coliseo ...
