A Crucial Summer for the Jayhawks
Christian Reeves, the newest transfer joining the Kansas roster, is projected to be out of his sling within a week after surgery, yet the road to full practice remains long.
His rehabilitation will involve a regimented program of physical therapy and strength work aimed at healing a labrum injury, with head coach Bill Self hoping he can resume full practice around October 1.
That timeline leaves only a narrow window for live reps before the season opener, meaning any setback could jeopardize his readiness for the first games.
The non‑conference schedule this year is notably less demanding than in recent seasons, but the Jayhawks' success still hinges on a smooth summer for Reeves.
The team’s other transfers — Keanu Dawes, Leroy Blyden Jr., and Dennis Parker Jr. — will also be evaluated, but Reeves’ health remains the centerpiece of Kansas’ outlook.
