Kansas basketball has secured Utah transfer forward Keanu Dawes as its first commitment through the transfer portal. The team is also looking to add two more athletes to strengthen its roster for the upcoming season.
LAWRENCE â As of Sunday morning, Kansas basketballâs lone public commitment through the transfer portal continues to be Utah transfer forward Keanu Dawes.
Dawes is a valuable addition, and one who brings experience, size and physicality to the Jayhawksâ front court. When Utah tested KU inside Allen Fieldhouse this past season, before Kansas emerged with a win, the junior finished with a double-double of 22 points and 12 rebounds. As coach Bill Self builds his roster for the 2026-27 season, Dawesâ arrival should mean a lot.

However, KUâs recruiting hasnât and wonât end with Dawesâ commitment alone. The Jayhawks have more roster spots to fill, as they look to assemble a group that can compete for Big 12 Conference and national success. And moving forward, multiple reports detail there are two more athletes set to be visitors in the near future.
Vyctorius Miller is coming off of his sophomore year with Oklahoma State, and also previously played at LSU. Miller, a 6-foot-5 and 190-pound guard, started 26 of his 32 appearances for the Cowboys and averaged 25.6 minutes per game. He averaged 10.8 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, while shooting 41.8% from the field, 37.5% from behind the arc and 85.7% from the free-throw line.
Thereâs experience Miller can bring, as someone whoâs played at multiple high-major programs. Heâs also a former 247Sports four-star prospect coming out of high school. In 247Sportsâ transfer rankings, he is also a four-star prospect.
Keanu Dawes is a forward transferring from Utah, known for his experience, size, and physicality, and he recently recorded a double-double against Kansas.
Kansas basketball has scheduled visits for two more athletes as they aim to fill additional roster spots for the 2026-27 season.
The Jayhawks aim to build a competitive roster to succeed in the Big 12 Conference and pursue national success.

Christian Reeves is coming off of his redshirt junior year with Charleston, and has previously played at both Clemson and Duke. A 7-foot-2 and 255-pound center, he started 18 of his 31 appearances for Charleston and averaged 21.4 minutes per game. He averaged 11.1 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, while shooting 65.4% from the field and 60.4% from the free-throw line.
Reeves doesnât provide an addition to the front court who can step out and hit 3s, given he didnât attempt any this past season, but thereâs size there, of course. He was a three-star prospect coming out of high school. Heâs now a four-star prospect in the portal.
