In a bid to strengthen their wing depth, the Kansas Jayhawks have scored a major coup in the transfer portal by securing the commitment of AJ Storr, the highly sought-after Wisconsin transfer. Storr, regarded as the top pure wing talent available in the portal, joins an impressive roster that Kansas is assembling for the 2024-25 season.

The urgency for Kansas to address their depth options became evident last season, as they found themselves short on reinforcements when injuries and other setbacks hit. Determined not to repeat that mistake, head coach Bill Self wasted no time in making moves to solidify his team's wings.

Already bolstering their lineup with the additions of Riley Kugel, a transfer from Florida, and Zeke Mayo, who hails from South Dakota State, Kansas sent shockwaves through the college basketball community with the acquisition of Storr. The Wisconsin transfer brings a versatile skill set that includes not only formidable defense but also offensive firepower, making him one of the most coveted players in the portal.

With Storr now in the mix, Kansas's wing rotation for the upcoming season is shaping up to be one of the strongest in the nation. Joining him will be Kugel and Mayo, creating a formidable trio that will provide ample support for their frontcourt consisting of KJ Adams Jr., Hunter Dickinson, and Dajuan Harris.

Adding further intrigue to Kansas's recruitment efforts, they are also in contention for Rylan Griffen, a talented wing transfer from Alabama known for his sharpshooting ability. If the Jayhawks can secure Griffen's commitment as well, their wing depth will be unparalleled.

As the college basketball transfer portal continues to buzz with activity, Kansas has demonstrated its commitment to remaining competitive by aggressively pursuing top talent. With the acquisitions of Storr, Kugel, and Mayo, alongside the potential addition of Griffen, the Jayhawks are making a statement that they are poised to contend in the 2024-25 season and beyond.

The upcoming campaign promises to be an exciting one for the Kansas Jayhawks and their fans, with an enhanced wing rotation ready to propel the team to new heights.
