Kansas Jayhawks Basketball: Back on Top? Bill Self's Squad Poised for Resurgence led by potential NBA Draft #1 pick Darryn Peterson.
Is Kansas primed to reclaim its spot among college basketball's elite? Host Derek Johnson breaks down why the Jayhawks are set for a major bounce-back season under legendary coach Bill Self after earning a 7-seed in 2025. From the game-changing addition of Peterson to improved offensive rebounding and enhanced athleticism, Johnson analyzes the key factors that could propel Kansas to a top-2 seed in March Madness. But questions linger about the team's shooting efficiency and foul trouble concerns.
Will Peterson emerge as the next great Kansas All-American? Can centers like Flory Bidunga and Paul Mbiya transform the Jayhawks' defense? What will Elmarko Jackson, Jayden Dawson, Melvin Council and Tre White bring? Tune in for an in-depth look at Kansas' path back to national prominence and why some skeptics might be underestimating Bill Self's 2025-26 squad.
