The KU Hoops Roster: Transfers
In the first two editions of this series, I went through KU’s returning starters, followed by a look this year’s freshman recruiting class. However, in modern college sports, recruiting never ends and also includes players from other schools looking for a better destination. In years past, Self has used D1 transfers as a way to shore up what appears to be a weakness on the team. It’s gone better in some cases than others. Nic Timberlake was a sought-after senior transfer last year intended to give the team a knockdown shooter with the quickness to drive and score on poor closeouts. What we saw instead was a player skilled enough to look good at Towson, but who simply couldn’t compete at the Big 12 level. We’ve seen similar results from players like Joseph Yesufu, who spent the second half of his sophomore season lighting up in the MVC at Drake. Yesufu never found his footing at Kansas, and after inconsistent playing time, spent his final year at Washington State.
