The insertion of a walk-on for Kansas men’s basketball usually suggests that victory is near. But when Wilder Evers came on the floor for the Jayhawks on Saturday afternoon against Princeton, with 13 minutes to go in the first half, the outcome was still very much in doubt — more so than anyone expected, even at such an early stage. The redshirt junior guard from Birmingham, Alabama, whose appearances on ...
Kansas coach Bill Self was somewhat surprised to learn in his Friday press conference that his team’s current 2026 recruiting class — which to this point consists of Davion Adkins, Luke Barnett, Taylen Kinney and Trent Perry — ranks among the top few in the country.

But this year’s trajectory would paint a much different picture, not of a team that went on a ...
Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self on Thursday morning officially announced the signings of Luke Barnett, a four-star guard from Laguna Niguel, California, and Davion Adkins, a four-star forward from Arlington, Texas.
