Kansas Basketball's Rakease Passmore Commits to New Program

While the former top-50 recruit played sparingly as a freshman at Kansas (5.1 minutes per game last season), Passmore clearly has the tools for success.

An unbelievably explosive athlete with a silky-smooth stroke, Passmore can be an immediate impact player at Maryland, specializing in a 3-and-D role as a rotational piece for the Terrapins. 

With the potential to develop into a go-to option for Williams and his crew, Passmore is a solid get for Maryland, especially this late in the portal cycle.

The final domino to fall for the Jayhawks in their outgoing group of transfers, Passmore will suit up alongside Coit in Maryland. Meanwhile, AJ Storr is headed to Ole Miss, while Rylan Griffen is off to Texas A&M with Zach Clemence.  

On the flip side, coach Bill Self and his staff bring in a trio of veteran transfers in Jayden Dawson (Loyola-Chicago), Melvin Council Jr. (St. Bonaventure), and Tre White (Illinois). 

Kansas rounded out its incoming recruiting class through the high school ranks with the No. 1 overall prospect in Darryn Peterson, top-100 recruit Samis Calderon, and three-star wing Corbin Allen. 

The Jayhawks also return sophomore big man Flory Bidunga (5.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 16.3 minutes last season) and former top-20 recruit Elmarko Jackson, who spent last season on the sidelines due to injury.
