Jalen Wilson, Gradey Dick, Dajuan Harris and Kevin McCullar headline the Kansas men’s basketball players who are slated to participate in the annual barnstorming tour this spring.

Mass St. Collective has partnered with G1 Sports to plan out a 3-day, 3-city tour with 14 players from KU’s 2022-23 team that won the Big 12 regular season championship.

The tour kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Friday, April 14 at Dodge City Community College, then shifts to Wichita for a 3 p.m. stop at Friends University on Saturday, April 15 before finishing up with a 2 p.m. show time on Sunday, April 16, at Pittsburg State University that will include former Jayhawk great Jeff Boschee, who is the head men’s basketball coach at PSU.

“It’s a true testament to the high value that this event brings, not just for the fans in attendance, but for the players that this is something that they wanted to be involved in,” said Dan Beckler, president of Mass St. Collective.

“There’s a lot of KU fans here in Wichita and this is a cool opportunity to bring the Jayhawks down here and let fans interact with these players like never before. They’ve probably gone to a game at Allen Fieldhouse, watched and then gone home. We’re going to have a lot of interactive, fun activities for fans to come out and meet these guys.”
