Radford transfer could replace Darryn Peterson as Kansas retools

[ASFN Admin]

The Kansas Jayhawks' backcourt might not have the services of Darryn Peterson next season, but appears like it still could be incredibly formidable. Kansas has already landed heralded incoming freshman Tyran Stokes, and has just received a transfer commitment from Dennis Parker Jr.

Parker Jr.'s collegiate career as an underclassman at NC State got off to a slow start, as he never quite found his stride as a reserve. However, the Richmond, Virginia, native found his rhythm at Radford last season, averaging over 18 points and shooting over 37 percent from long range.

Parker Jr. also averaged a shade under six rebounds per game and posted one and a half steals per contest for the Highlanders.
