Bill Self is back for his 24th season at Kansas, defying health scares to chase another Big 12 crown with the nation’s top recruit, five-star forward Tyran Stokes. Stokes, projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2027 NBA draft, brings elite all-around skills—but Self’s priority is emotional control, not motivation. The roster’s frontcourt is rebuilt after losing key starters, with Utah transfer Keanu Dawes poised to pair with Stokes. Backcourt options include Toledo’s Leroy Blyden Jr. and freshman Taylen Kinney, while returning star Tre White adds experience. The center spot remains uncertain, with one player still recovering from surgery. Self admits the team is unproven but confident in Stokes’ dominance—and hopes health and chemistry can carry them through a tough Big 12 season.
