Kansas basketball head coach Bill Self is recruiting like a guy who is thinking about stepping away. Not only has he corralled his first recruit for next season in Taylen Kinney, but he’s in on several others, including Trent Perry, Davion Adkins, and top prospect Tyran Stokes.
Self and his staff are also busy looking ahead to the 2027-28 season. According to Joe Tipton with On3 Sports, KU is one of four finalists in the recruiting of four-star prospect Javon Bardwell. Texas, USC, and Louisville are the other schools on his list.

ESPN’s Top 60 list for 2027 recruits has Bardwell ranked 40th, but other services like the small forward more.
