University of Kansas basketball recruiting

Gulf Coast State College guard Trent Lincoln will take a visit to Kansas beginning on Tuesday, his agent Ryan Murphy of Endurance Management confirmed to the Journal-World on Sunday.

Lincoln is listed at 6-foot-3 and 185 pounds. He is originally from Baltimore but previously attended Wharton High School in Tampa, Florida, and is in his second year at the junior-college ranks.

As a freshman at Chipola College, Lincoln averaged 11.8 points and 5.0 assists per game; this season at Gulf Coast State in Panama City, Florida, he is up to 19.9 points on 44.3% (34.0% from deep) to go with 6.6 assists and 4.5 rebounds. Through 15 games, Lincoln’s team is 14-1, and he serves as its leading scorer.

He would have two years left to play beginning with the 2026-27 season, pending any additional changes to JUCO eligibility rules — KU only has Melvin Council Jr., after all, because he got an extra year through a waiver for being a former junior-college player.

Of note, Lincoln has not yet reported a scholarship offer from KU on his social media. His announced offers are from a host of mid-majors, including most recently schools like UTSA, San Diego and UMass.

KU will have several guards exhaust their eligibility following the 2025-26 season, including Council, Jayden Dawson and Nginyu Ngala; forward Tre White is the Jayhawks’ other senior on scholarship. Freshman guard Darryn Peterson, meanwhile is a surefire one-and-done NBA prospect.

Meanwhile, guards Luke Barnett and Taylen Kinney, wing Trent Perry and forward Davion Adkins are already signed for 2026. There is some ambiguity with the rest of the class as KU is still involved with a couple of uncommitted top prospects and also has Javon Bardwell, a potential reclassification candidate, committed for 2027.
