On Sunday, 5-star point guard Taylen Kinney announced that he's committed to play for the Jayhawks over Indiana, Arkansas, Oregon, Louisville and Kentucky. Kinney said his connection with Kansas head coach Bill Self helped make his decision easy, as Self told him that he would be the No. Kinney is from Newport, Kentucky, just south of Louisville, though he plays for Overtime Elite in Atlanta. Per 247Sports' Travis Branham, Kinney narrowed his list down to Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville and Oregon this week, cutting Texas and Miami from his top schools. Landing a commitment like Kinney is huge for Kansas after the way the past few seasons have gone for Self's squad.
