Make it two momentous commitments in two days for the Kansas women’s basketball program. A day after in-state forward Jaliya Davis, a five-star prospect on some services, pledged to join the Jayhawks in 2025, similarly high-ranked guard Keeley Parks did the same on Wednesday evening. Parks, a 5-foot-11 guard from Norman, Oklahoma, is 247Sports’ No. 17 player in the class of 2025 and ESPN’s No. 29. She ...
Kansas center Flory Bidunga didn't put any weight on his leg as he left the floor late in the first half on Tuesday night. The Congolese freshman's left foot came down at an odd angle after he jumped to contest a post entry pass from UNC Wilmington's Josh Corbin to Khamari McGriff.

Jaliya Davis, a 6-foot-2 small forward who is the nation's No. 24 prospect as assessed by 247Sports, announced her decision to attend KU next year in a ceremony at her high school, Blue Valley North in Overland Park. “We are elated that Jaliya ...
One of UNC Wilmington’s recent performances clearly made an impact on Kansas coach Bill Self. As part of an answer to a reporter's question on Monday about the ongoing development of his rotation, Self pointed out, "We’re playing a team tomorrow that scored 143 points in a game.” Indeed the Seahawks did, against Division II Mount Olive, with a whopping eight players in double figures, and UNCW has kept ...
Fresh off a big win on the gridiron Saturday night, the Kansas football team posted another significant victory on Monday morning, this time on the recruiting trail. Justin Thurman, a running back from Tampa, Florida, in the class of 2025 who once received his first collegiate scholarship offer from KU, announced that he has flipped his commitment from Notre Dame to the Jayhawks. Thurman, a four-star prospect ...
