Kansas Jayhawks target Liam McNeeley reveals top-6 after Indiana decommitment

After being bounced out of the NCAA Tournament in the 2nd Round for the second consecutive year, the Kansas Jayhawks basketball program could use a big-time win this spring. But because it will be over six months until their next game is played, that means the Jayhawks need a win in the recruiting game, which of course will set them up for success during the 2024-25 season… a season that Kansas head coach Bill Self admitted he’d already been looking ahead to as the Jayhawks sputtered to close the 2023-24 season. Thanks to five-star recruit Liam McNeeley, Bill Self’s excitement for the 2024-25 season may be warranted.

Liam McNeeley is the 15th-ranked player in the 2024 recruiting class, according to 247 Sports. The Texas native, who now plays his high school ball at Montverde Academy in Florida, is a 6’7″ wing who was called “one of the most consistently productive and reliable basketball players in the class,” by Adam Finkelstein of 247 Sports. McNeeley is a dead-eye shooter who has a great feel for the game, and as of a month ago, after decommitting from Indiana University, is the top-ranked player in the 2024 class who is currently uncommitted. Signing Liam McNeeley to a National Letter of Intent would be a big win for Bill Self, but the Jayhawks have some competition for the highly coveted recruit.
