On April 26, Beijing time, University of Alabama flank Rylan Griffen, one of the best shooters in the transfer market, has committed to the University of Kansas.

After Griffin entered the transfer market, the University of Kansas quickly became Griffin's first choice, making a home visit and welcoming him on campus last week. Griffin thinks he's a good fit here, and the team needs projection, and he can help them with that, and he can help them defend from the perimeter and continue the winning culture that Kansas has always had.

Griffin, from Dallas, Texas, is 6-6 (1.98m) tall, and he made great strides in his sophomore season in Alabama, averaging 5.9 points per game in his freshman season to 11.2 points in his sophomore season, starting 33 games, averaging 11.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in his sophomore season, shooting 39.2% from three-point range, helping Alabama advance to the final four for the first time in history.

Griffin is the fourth transfer student to be added to the University of Kansas this offseason, following Zike Mayo (South Dakota State), Riley Coogel (University of Florida) and AJ Stoll (University of Wisconsin) as the team strengthens its outside shooting.
The University of Kansas also welcomed back starters Dajuan Harris Jr and KJ Adams, while All-American center Hunter Dickinson has yet to decide whether he will stay at the school, and if Dickinson returns to Lawrence, the University of Kansas will be the No. 1 favorite for the 2024-25 season.
