Darryn Peterson, the top-ranked capturing guard within the 2025 class, got here off the board on Friday, saying his dedication to Kansas.
Peterson turns into the Jayhawks’ highest-ranked dedication since Josh Jackson in 2016 and their highest-ranked guard recruit since Xavier Henry in 2009.
Because of the probation from the 2013 FBI investigation into school basketball — and the cloud that hung over Kansas’ program for a number of years due to it — the Jayhawks weren’t as concerned with elite recruits as that they had been within the years prior. Self’s program wasn’t precisely struggling for expertise, however the final top-10 recruit to go to Lawrence earlier than Friday night time was Quentin Grimes in 2018. For a blue blood, that is a fairly lengthy drought.
With Peterson, although, Kansas has a top-three prospect within the senior class and a possible lottery decide coming to city.
