The Kansas Jayhawks have landed a visit from transfer guard Kameron Taylor, who led the Big South Conference in scoring this past season at UNC-Asheville. The 6'7" Taylor, a rising junior, averaged 18.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game for the Bulldogs and was named First Team All-Big South.

Why it matters

Taylor's scoring ability, athleticism, and free throw production would make him a valuable addition to the Kansas roster as the Jayhawks look to reload after a successful season. His visit indicates the program's interest in bolstering their backcourt through the transfer portal.

The details

As a sophomore, Taylor led the Big South in scoring, showcasing his ability to get to the rim, draw fouls, and finish above the rim. He shot 70.1% from the free throw line on 7.0 attempts per game, a number that would have led Kansas this past season. Taylor is ranked as the No. 78 overall transfer portal prospect by On3.com.
