Kansas guard Kohl Rosario is expected to return to the Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball for the 2026–27 season, according to college basketball insider Jeff Goodman.
The report, shared by Goodman, indicates Rosario plans to remain in Lawrence and continue his development under head coach Bill Self. While no formal university announcement has been made, multiple reports align with Goodman’s update, pointing toward Rosario’s return.
Rosario, a 6-foot-6 guard, saw limited action during his freshman season, averaging 3.4 points in 11.4 minutes per game. Despite modest statistics, he showed flashes of potential, particularly on the defensive end and in transition play.
His expected return comes at an important time for Kansas, which has experienced roster turnover this offseason due to transfer portal movement. Bringing back a developing player like Rosario provides valuable continuity for the program.
With increased opportunity likely next season, Rosario is viewed as a candidate for a sophomore breakout. Kansas coaching staff are expected to rely on his growth, especially in perimeter shooting and overall offensive consistency.
As the Jayhawks regroup for the 2026–27 campaign, Rosario’s decision to stay could play a key role in shaping the team’s backcourt rotation and overall depth.
