The Kansas basketball team added its first recruit for the 2026-27 season on Saturday when top point guard Taylen Kinney made his verbal commitment. Tomorrow, another recruit, Trent Perry, is scheduled to announce the school of his choice, and Kansas is a finalist with a high chance at landing the small forward.

After committing to Kansas, Kinney talked to Joe Tipton from On3. Tipton tweeted that Kinney responded to a question about what was next, and Tipton hinted that another player would soon announce for Kansas (Perry?) and that Kinney would now try to convince Tyran Stokes to join him in wearing the crimson and blue.
