On April 30th, Kansas Hoops is stacking their 2026-27 roster after landing top prize

Tyrann Stokes this week.

That elite playmaker turns the J-Hawks into legit title contenders with five spots

still open under Coach Bill Self.

They just jumped on Kansas State Transfer Abdi Bashir Jr. with a Zoom call.

The dude averaged 13.2 points a game, shooting 42.1% from the field and a scorching 44.4

from.

167 makes out of 151 tries.

KU desperately needs that deep ball after ranking 150 second nationally in 3.1% last year.

It hurt their offense against firepower teams, even with plenty of inside scores.

Bashir pairs perfect with Stokes, Toledo Transfer, Leroy Blight and Jr., and sophomore

Cole Rosario coming back.

Those shooters should open the pain and fix last season's woes.

Bashir visited St. John's in person, and eyes Ohio State 2, but a decision dropped soon,

keeping Kansas fans hyped for the buildup.
