Jayde Christopher, Tyler Johnson, Kylee Kopatich and Aisia Robertson have all signed valid National Letters of Intent (NLI) to play for the for Jayhawks.

“The class being ranked high is a product of where they are each are ranked individually and should give them confidence,” said Henrickson. “I think all four of those young ladies understand and are mature enough to realize that it’s like preseason polls and it’s about coming here and being able to produce. I am more impressed by the competitiveness and basketball IQ of this group than I am with how they are ranked.”
