What happened: The 24-year-old forward arrives from Purdue after selection in the NBA draft. Kansas announced the addition with his request for a sixth season still pending.

Why it matters: The addition follows a temporary restraining order against the NCAA that preserved his path back to college. Kansas gets a veteran frontcourt piece for the 2026-27 season while the eligibility case plays out.

What to watch: A final eligibility decision will determine whether he is cleared to play this season.
