Bryson Tiller bolts Kansas for rival Missouri after a breakout freshman season
By The Associated Press
Bryson Tiller is leaving Kansas for bitter rival Missouri after a promising and
productive freshman season with the Jayhawks.
The 6-foot-11 forward arrived in Lawrence before the spring semester in 2025
and redshirted before playing last season, when Tiller was a regular in the
starting lineup. He averaged 7.9 points and 6.1 rebounds, and one of his best
games for Kansas came against the Tigers, when he had 13 points, five rebounds
and five blocks in an 80-60 rout at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City,
Missouri.
Missouri has been active in the transfer portal, landing Tennessee forward
Jaylen Carey and Providence forward Jamier Jones.
Tiller visited the Tigers on Sunday and made the decision to join coach Dennis
Gates over interest from Michigan, Georgia Tech, NC State, Arizona and others.
He visited Miami but canceled a planned visit to Arizona.
Kansas already lost another big man, Flory Bidunga, who decided to transfer to
Louisville.
