HOT PURSUIT: International Bigs Kansas Jayhawks Should Explore Like Bassala Bagayoko & Pavle Backo

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Kansas Jayhawks seek a game-changing international recruit as roster questions intensify. Which overseas prospects could ignite KU’s next big run, and are Bassala Bagayoko, Pavle Backo or Xu Xin the missing piece in the paint? The conversation focused on key international big men targets, analyzing athleticism, production in top leagues like Spain’s Liga ACB, and their fit alongside names like Keanu Dawes and Tyran Stokes.

A key theme that emerged was the impact of the Brendan Sorsby situation on Kansas football’s bowl eligibility. The discussion explored how Cincinnati’s apparent mishandling of Sorsby’s eligibility may have directly cost the Jayhawks a postseason appearance, raising questions about accountability and competitive fairness. Several points were raised, including lost bowl revenue, missed development opportunities for players like Jalon Daniels and Isaiah Marshall, and whether KU should have taken legal action against Cincinnati.

Will Kansas basketball or football get the boost they need—or just more heartbreak?
