Kansas coach Bill Self remarked on Thursday of this year’s team, “We had average depth a month ago, and now we’ve got really good depth because of what’s transpired.”

The late-stage additions of Tre White, Melvin Council Jr. and Trey Kaufman-Renn, all of whom became eligible via injunctions against the NCAA in various courts, did indeed transform the Jayhawks’ roster mere weeks before the season, reassigning potential starters to bench roles. And on Friday, KU provided a clear indication of the benefits that arrangement might provide down the line.

Kansas’ chances of a postseason berth took a significant hit when the Jayhawks let an eminently winnable game slip away on the road at TCU.

Now KU has little wiggle room with which to operate, as it sits at 3-5 heading into a home matchup with UCF, set for Saturday at 2:45 p.m. “We definitely want to make a bowl game,” cornerback Roman Pearson said. “We want to win every game from here on out. Again, just focusing on the little things each and every week and doing our job the best we can, not worrying about outside things is going to help us.”

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.

Three straight wins or nothing: Kansas Jayhawks' bowl hopes hang by a thread

The Kansas Jayhawks football team needs to win three straight games — at West Virginia, at home vs. BYU and at Oklahoma State — to earn the program’s third bowl appearance in the six-year Lance Leipold era. KU last played in a bowl in 2023, when the Jayhawks beat UNLV in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl. Considering the fact that those above-mentioned teams all have winning records, and KU is 3-6 (1-5 Big 12), the odds of postseason play appear slim. But Leipold does not see it that way. He maintained a hopeful attitude after Saturday’s 33-32 loss to UCF at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. “We’re not out of that yet, but I would say this: We’re going to continue to fight and go,” Leipold said after KU’s comeback from a 19-point third-quarter deficit fell short. “I’m disappointed that we haven’t put ourselves in that position and that’s my responsibility as a head football coach to get us there. “I apologize to our fans and we’re going to keep working, but it’s not over ’til it’s over. So I’m not conceding anything right now. I’m not built that way. We’ll keep fighting.” The Jayhawks lost in the closing moments at
