Kansas is set to host highly-touted 2026 center prospect, [Player’s Name], for an official visit.This visit marks the third stop in a comprehensive seven-city recruiting tour for the talented big man, scheduled to run from late August through mid-October.
The 6-foot-10, 200-pound center, currently a rising senior at Pasadena High School in California, received an offer from the Jayhawks’ coaching staff last month. His recruitment has gained significant traction, with other prominent programs like Kentucky, Texas A&M, and Louisville also slated to receive visits from Irving in the coming months. Initially, his recruitment was primarily focused on West coast institutions.
Irving’s standing in the recruiting landscape is reflected in his rankings. The 247 Sports Composite places him as the No. 75 overall prospect and the No. 7 center in the 2026 class. On3, however, offers a slightly different evaluation, listing him as a 3-star prospect and the No. 148 overall player.
On the court, Irving possesses a soft touch around the basket and demonstrates considerable potential on both ends of the floor. He describes his offensive game as aiming to emulate a stretch four, while on defense, his primary focus is on shot-blocking and protecting the rim. Despite his size, Irving exhibits surprisingly agile movement, tho analysts suggest he will need to add significant bulk to his frame to effectively compete at the collegiate level.
The visit to Lawrence is strategically timed, occurring just days before fellow big man prospect Davion Adkins is scheduled to visit the Kansas campus on September 16. This concentrated recruiting effort on frontcourt players suggests that Head Coach Bill Self is proactively addressing potential future needs, particularly if current player Flory Bidunga opts to declare for the NBA Draft following the 2025-26 season.
