It’s been a busy — and not so busy — week in Kansas athletics, with several key Kansas basketball players weighing their future plans and a handful of KU football players entering the transfer portal.
In our latest episode of The KU Sports Hour, we breakdown the comings and goings in both sports and take a look at what they mean and what might happen as a result.
Included in this episode:
• Christian Braun and Jalen Wilson seem to have the biggest decisions to make among the current Jayhawks with immediate NBA aspirations.
• Could the departures of 11 KU football players actually be a good sign?
• What to make of KU’s wide receiver room after key transfer portal departures at that position.
