KU flips cornerback Northcutt for 2027 class but loses linebacker recruit to LSU

The Kansas football team added a cornerback to its 2027 class on Saturday morning by flipping Dylan Northcutt from Syracuse. Northcutt announced the move on Instagram. He is the first player at his position in the class and the second overall defensive back after safety Braiden Graves of Cypress, Texas. He had visited KU and Syracuse in quick succession before initially picking the Orange back in June, but that decision lasted less than five months before he made the move to join the Jayhawks after all.

The Jayhawks turned the tide in their favor on that day with a five-set win, and on Thursday night inside Horejsi Family Volleyball Arena, history didn’t repeat itself as KU swept the Bears (25-20, 25-21, 29-27) on Ray Bechard Court. “It felt like a very similar match, this time...

Cooper's penalty gives the Current a 1-0 extra time quarterfinal win over Angel City

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Michelle Cooper converted a penalty kick in extra time to give the Kansas City Current a 1-0 victory over Angel City on Sunday in the quarterfinals of the National Women’s Soccer League playoffs. The fourth-seeded Current will face the winner of Sunday’s quarterfinal between No. 1 Gotham FC and No. 8 Seattle Reign FC in a semifinal match next weekend. Kansas City, the only NWSL team to finish the regular season unbeaten at home, extended that run into the playoffs. Angel City goalkeeper Angelina Anderson made five saves in regulation. Four minutes into extra time, Kansas City defender Izzy Rodriguez sent in a corner kick. Before the ball went over the crossbar, Current defender Kayla Sharples went to the ground near the goal line after contact with Anderson and midfielder Ary Borges. Kansas City was awarded the penalty, and Cooper converted. The teams combined for 25 fouls. Fifth-seeded Angel City drew three yellow cards in regulation, the first in the 13th minute when Sveindís Jónsdóttir slid into Gabrielle Robinson from behind as the Kansas City defender shielded the ball near her end line. Borges drew the second yellow in the 58th minute when her cleat

Lawrence High’s Sports Regions Swap

Later this year, all Lawrence High School sports, with the exception of football, will switch from competing in the Eastern 6A KSHSAA region to the Western 6A region. These regions determine what schools LHS will have to face while attempting to reach state tournaments, with a switch to the West meaning that LHS will avoid having to face highly competitive schools like Blue Valley, Shawnee Mission, or Olathe: instead facing top Western schools like Washburn Rural, Manhattan, and Free State.

KU Jayhawks host Middle Tennessee in one-time game, a contrast to 1999 road trip

The Kansas Jayhawks will play host to Middle Tennessee at 8 p.m. Friday at Allen Fieldhouse in a one-time “guarantee game” that carries no contractual obligation for a return trip to Murfreesboro, Tenn. That is the modern norm for high-major men’s basketball programs facing mid-majors. It was not the case in 1999, when Roy Williams took the Jayhawks to the city 35 miles from Nashville as part of a three-year, 2-for-1 series. High-major programs routinely schedule teams such as MTSU for single nonconference contests. A road victory over a mid-major offers limited benefit in the NET rankings or strength-of-schedule metrics, while a loss in a hostile environment could carry significant downside. A home game in a sold-out venue such as 15,300-seat Allen Fieldhouse also provides necessary revenue for an athletic department. In keeping with those practices, Kansas is not obligated to play a return game at the Blue Raiders’ 11,500-seat Murphy Center. Basketball historians and longtime KU fans may recall a notable exception from the Williams era. In December 1999, Williams brought his Jayhawks to Murfreesboro for a game against Middle Tennessee, then a member of the Ohio Valley Conference (now in Conference USA). The trip was part of a
