The transformation that Lance Leipold has achieved in just three seasons at the helm of the Kansas Jayhawks football program is nothing short of remarkable, and it speaks volumes about his coaching prowess. Leipold took the reins in 2021 after a successful five-year stint at Buffalo and was faced with the challenge of revitalizing a Jayhawks team that had struggled for years, going 0-9 the season prior and not winning more than one conference game since 2008.

The Arizona Fall League, long heralded as baseball’s finishing school, is often viewed as the final stepping stone before big league careers get underway.

Kansas football is gearing up for its third home game this season, scheduled for Saturday, September 23, at 2:30 p.m. CT. The Jayhawks will be hosting BYU at the David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, and this game marks the opening of both teams' Big 12 Conference campaign. ESPN will broadcast the game nationally, featuring a commentary team consisting of Mark Jones as the Play-by-Play announcer, Louis Riddick as the Analyst, and Quint Kessenich as the Sideline reporter. This Saturday's matchup promises to be an exciting contest between two undefeated teams, with Kansas boasting a 3-0 record for the second consecutive season. This achievement marks the first time since 1991-92 that the Jayhawks have started the season with a 3-0 record in back-to-back seasons.

As the season opener for Kansas football approaches, the anticipation builds for the unveiling of the official depth chart. Head coach Lance Leipold and the Jayhawks are bringing back substantial experience on both offense and defense, while also introducing fresh skills to all aspects of the team, including special teams. As we look ahead to week one, here's a forecast of the potential starters and substitutes

The Kansas Jayhawks have maintained a strong presence in the pursuit of top-tier recruits for the upcoming year's class. Labaron Philon is the latest addition to this mix, as he has included KU in his final four choices. Standing at 6 feet 4 inches, Philon is a point guard known for his ability to score effectively from all three levels of the court. According to 247 Sports, he holds the impressive ranking of being the third-best player in his position and the 27th nationally. Having earned the title of Alabama Mr. Basketball, Philon faces a decision between four schools: Alabama, Cincinnati, Ole Miss, and Kansas basketball. His junior year at his high school saw him achieve a remarkable feat of scoring over 1,000 points. While he exhibits diverse scoring skills, scouts have particularly highlighted his prowess in on-ball defense and playmaking. With the potential to enter the NBA, Philon could greatly benefit from the coaching expertise of Bill Self, a distinguished figure in the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame. Despite initially committing to Auburn in February, Philon reversed his commitment in under three months. As of now, the Tigers seem to be entirely removed from consideration.
