Kansas Adds Dennis Parker Jr. to Growing Roster
Kansas basketball announced the signing of Radford guard Dennis Parker Jr., a move that adds a proven scorer to the Jayhawks’ expanding roster.
Parker averaged 18.3 points per game last season and was recognized on the All-Big South Conference second team, highlighting his impact at the mid-major level.
Portal Activity Accelerates
He becomes the fourth transfer portal addition for Kansas this offseason, joining fellow four-star prospects Christian Reeves, Keanu Dawes and Leroy Blyden Jr., a group that 247Sports has highlighted as a strong recruiting class.
Coach Bill Self has emphasized the need to build on a season that saw the team reach the round of 32 but fall short of higher aspirations, hoping the new talent can push the program past the second weekend of the tournament.
The signing reflects Kansas’s strategy of leveraging the portal to assemble a deep, high-caliber squad as it pursues a championship trajectory.
