Parker exploded for 53 points, knocking down 10 threes, in a game against Coppin State this year, the most points scored by a Division I player in a single game since 2019. He also scored 20 or more points in 11 matchups this season.
The Richmond, Virginia native began his college career at NC State, where he spent two seasons. He averaged 4.7 points per game as a freshman and 2.9 points as a sophomore before transferring to Radford, where he broke out this past season.
Parker will now conclude his college career in Lawrence with Bill Self, becoming the Jayhawks’ fourth transfer addition, joining Utah forward Keanu Dawes, Charleston center Christian Reeves, and Toledo guard Leroy Blyden Jr.
Kansas is also bringing in a loaded high school recruiting class, headlined by No. 1 overall recruit Tyran Stokes. Also joining Stokes is four-star point guard Tay Kinney (No. 20 nationally), four-star power forward Davion Adkins (No. 59 nationally), four-star small forward Trent Perry (No. 98 nationally), four-star shooting guard Luke Barnett (No. 119 nationally), and unranked center Grant Mordini.
