Taylen Kinney announced his commitment to Kansas over the weekend.
Kinney is currently ranked as the No. 17 recruit in the 2026 SportsCenter NEXT rankings, and is also ranked as the No. 4 point guard in his class.
"It felt like family from the time I got there until I left," Kinney told ESPN. "We did so much. Saw the school, facilities, and dinners. We went over my film, both the good clips and the bad clips. The fans at the football game were great. As soon as I walked in the stadium, they knew who I was."
Kinney chose Kansas over Louisville, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky and Oregon.
Kinney currently plays in the Overtime Elite program.
Kinney is Kansas' first commit for the 2026 class.
