The University of Kansas basketball program received a major boost Thursday when Dennis Parker Jr., a prolific scoring guard from Radford University, committed to transfer to the Jayhawks.
The 6-foot-6 player revealed his choice to join head coach Bill Self’s program in an announcement to The Field of 68.
During his time with the Highlanders this past season, Parker put up impressive numbers with an 18.3 points per game average. His most memorable performance came in a December 14 matchup against Coppin State, where he exploded for 53 points. In that dominant 107-77 victory, Parker connected on 19 of his 24 field goal attempts and was nearly unstoppable from beyond the arc, sinking 10 of 14 three-point shots.
The Virginia native from Richmond originally started his college basketball journey at North Carolina State. Throughout his collegiate career spanning 88 games with 44 starts between the Wolfpack from 2023-25 and Radford, Parker has compiled career statistics of 9.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per contest.
