Bardwell Out, White In for Kansas | Kansas Jayhawks Basketball News

Kansas basketball just lost their top 2027 recruit, five-star small forward Javon Bardwell, who reclassified and decommitted — a move that makes sense given he’d have been behind Tyran Stokes in minutes. With Bardwell gone, the Jayhawks are eyeing other names like Jaxson Kohler, Emmanuel Ogbole, Karmin Oriol, Alfred Worrell, and Melvin Council Jr. (if his NCAA case clears). But the biggest buzz this week? Tre White. The former Jayhawk, who averaged 13.5 points and 6.7 rebounds last season, could return with valuable experience from multiple programs. Though his stats dipped late last year, he still delivered big games — including double-doubles — and brings hustle and team chemistry. His potential return could spell big minutes, even at small forward, filling the void left by Bardwell. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
