KU Targets Olayinka After Kohler Exit | College Basketball News

Kansas pivots fast after losing out on Jaxon Kohler to BYU, immediately eyeing transfer forward Hamed Olayinka—aka Larry—as their new frontcourt anchor. The six-foot-nine big man, who averaged 10 points and nearly seven rebounds last season at FIU, brings elite rebounding and defensive presence, plus a familiar connection to Kansas via Garden City Community College. While his three-point shot isn’t his strength, his versatility, value, and lower NIL cost make him a perfect fit for KU’s current needs. Watch for his visit to Lawrence.
