Kansas basketball is actively pursuing additions through the transfer portal as the program prepares for the 2025-26 season, with recent reports identifying Vyctorius Miller and Christian Reeves as two prospects under consideration by the Jayhawks.
According to reporting from The Topeka Capital-Journal, both Miller and Reeves have entered the NCAA transfer portal and are being evaluated by Kansas as part of the program’s ongoing effort to bolster its roster ahead of the upcoming campaign. The Jayhawks, who finished the 2024-25 season with a 22-11 record and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament’s second round, are looking to address depth and versatility in their frontcourt and wing positions.
Vyctorius Miller, a 6-foot-7 forward who played his freshman season at TCU, averaged 6.2 points and 3.1 rebounds per game while shooting 38.1% from three-point range. After limited playing time in Fort Worth, Miller entered the transfer portal in March 2025, seeking a program where he could secure a more consistent role. His ability to stretch the floor and defend multiple positions has drawn interest from several mid-major and high-major programs, including Kansas, which values perimeter-oriented forwards capable of contributing in Bill Self’s motion-based offensive system.
Christian Reeves, a 6-foot-10 center who spent the past two seasons at Georgia Tech, brings interior presence and rebounding strength to the conversation. Reeves averaged 7.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game during the 2024-25 campaign, with a season-high 18 points and 12 rebounds against Georgia in January. Known for his physicality in the post and improved free-throw shooting (72.3% last season), Reeves has attracted attention from programs seeking to add size and toughness inside, particularly those looking to complement existing post players or provide a reliable backup option.
Kansas has not issued an official statement regarding specific recruitment efforts for either player and neither Miller nor Reeves has publicly confirmed discussions with the Jayhawks. However, multiple recruiting analysts and regional reporters have noted that Kansas has been active in the portal this offseason, targeting players who can contribute immediately while fitting the program’s cultural and tactical expectations.
The Jayhawks return several key contributors from last season, including senior guard Dajuan Harris Jr., who averaged 10.3 points and 5.1 assists per game, and forward Zeke Mayo, a 6-foot-5 wing who improved his three-point shooting to 37.4% in 2024-25. Nevertheless, Kansas faces questions about consistency at the power forward position and overall bench scoring, areas where Miller or Reeves could potentially provide support if they choose to commit to Lawrence.
As of April 2025, the NCAA transfer portal remains open for undergraduate students seeking immediate eligibility for the 2025-26 academic year, with the deadline for most sports set for May 1. Kansas, like all Division I programs, must adhere to NCAA regulations regarding tampering and communication with prospective transfers, meaning any public acknowledgment of interest typically follows formal outreach through compliant channels.
Bill Self, in his 22nd season as head coach at Kansas, has historically relied on a blend of high school recruits and selective portal additions to maintain roster balance. While the Jayhawks have not been among the most active programs in the portal in recent years, Self has acknowledged its growing role in modern college basketball, particularly for addressing specific needs without disrupting the development of younger players.
No official visit dates or commitment timelines have been reported for either Miller or Reeves in relation to Kansas. Both players remain eligible to hear from other programs and are expected to make decisions in the coming weeks, potentially before the end of the April evaluation period that precedes the May 1 deadline for most sports.
For now, the interest in Miller and Reeves represents part of a broader trend in which Kansas, like many traditional power programs, is utilizing the transfer portal as a supplementary tool to refine its roster rather than rebuild it entirely. The ultimate impact of any potential additions will depend on whether either player chooses to join the Jayhawks and how quickly they can adapt to the demands of playing in the Big 12 Conference under one of the sport’s most experienced coaches.
