Former Mizzou basketball forward Johnathan Williams III considering Kansas

To state the obvious: It would be an intriguing transfer move.

Johnathan Williams III, the former Missouri power forward, confirmed on Thursday that he is now considering Kansas among a list of possible transfer destinations. Williams III, who requested a release from Missouri in late March, told The Star that he had recently heard from Kansas coach Bill Self, who reached out to the former Mizzou big man.

“They just said they were interested in me,” Williams III said on Thursday.

For now, Williams III has a list of potential landing spots that also includes Georgetown, SMU and Gonzaga.
