Of all the close losses that the Kansas football team endured during its 2024 season, perhaps none stuck in the Jayhawks’ craw more than their 29-27 defeat at Kansas State on Oct. 26, 2024. It was the closest Sunflower Showdown by margin since 1993 and the Jayhawks’ best chance in recent years of snapping their ignominious losing streak in the rivalry. Instead, a series of pivotal mistakes throughout the ...
The Kansas men’s basketball team continued its recent success on the recruiting trail with the commitment of Luke Barnett on Friday afternoon. Barnett, a 6-foot-4, 180-pound shooting guard who attends athletic powerhouse Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California, announced his decision to join the Jayhawks as part of a CBS Sports livestream.

The Kansas baseball team has 29 newcomers on its roster ahead of the 2026 season. If that sounds familiar, it’s because the Jayhawks had 27 last year, and managed to mold that entirely new group into one that produced the best season in the program’s recent history and earned a trip to the postseason. “I think one, it proves you can do it,” head coach Dan Fitzgerald told the Journal-World in a recent ...
