Kansas freshman forward Bryson Tiller may be making a shocking move in the Border War, with the possibility of switching sides to Missouri.
Reports indicate Tiller is scheduled to visit Mizzou as he evaluates his next destination following his freshman season with Kansas. He is also considering Miami, Arizona, and Michigan, according to The Field of 68’s Jeff Goodman, after entering the transfer portal earlier this week.
A potential transfer directly from Lawrence to Columbia would be a rare storyline in the historic rivalry between Kansas and Missouri. However, it wouldn’t be completely without precedent, as former Mizzou center Parker Braun eventually finished his college career at Kansas after a stop at Santa Clara.
Tiller, a 6-foot-10 forward from Atlanta, Georgia, posted 7.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game in his freshman year at Kansas, shooting 44.9% from the field and 26.9% from three-point range.
He started nearly every game he played, missing only Senior Day after opening the season in the rotation.
His season had moments of inconsistency, including being benched during the second half of Kansas’ Big 12 Tournament loss to Houston. After that game, head coach Bill Self emphasized the need for more effort on the boards and physical play from the young forward.
Notably, Tiller delivered a strong performance against Missouri earlier in the season, finishing with 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 blocks in Kansas’ 80–60 win over the Tigers.
Missouri, meanwhile, is actively searching for frontcourt reinforcements after losing Mark Mitchell and Shawn Phillips to eligibility expiration, making Tiller an intriguing potential addition in the transfer portal.
