Kansas Lands Kinney, Perry and Davion Adkins

Kansas has rapidly built its 2026 recruiting class by securing five-star point guard Taylen Kinney, four-star wing Trent Perry and, according to reports, Prolific Prep big man Davion Adkins. Kinney (6'2, 185) is the No. 1 point guard in the class — a complete ball-handler who creates for teammates, can score at all three levels and projects as a potential one-and-done. Perry (6'5) is a high-motor, long-wing role player praised for elite defensive instincts, cutting and offensive rebounding, though his shooting remains a work in progress; he committed after considering Maryland and TCU. Adkins (6'9, 7'2 wingspan) profiles as an explosive rim protector and offensive-rebound/putback threat whose post footwork and perimeter game need refinement, and those additions lift KU into the top-10 recruiting classes nationally while adding immediate defensive length and depth for Bill Self's program.
