Chris Johnson decommitting from Kansas basketball allows Bill Self to pursue another impactful transfer to round out next year’s roster.
The Kansas Jayhawks are left with just ten scholarship players on the 2023-24 roster now that Chris Johnson requested a release from his LOI. Johnson, a 4-star recruit who played at Montverde Academy, re-opened his recruitment hours before other incoming freshmen moved into residence halls.
As a senior, Johnson averaged 5.9 points and 3.6 rebounds per game for the Eagles, albeit on one of the nation’s best high school teams. The additions of Arterio Morris and Nick Timberlake from the transfer portal made his path to playing time very uncertain.
