Calderon is the Jayhawks’ second commitment in the 2025 class. In early November, KU landed Darryn Peterson, the No. 1-ranked shooting guard in the class of 2025. Calderon, a 6-foot-8 forward from Brazil, picked the Jayhawks over Auburn, Michigan and Tennessee. He visited Lawrence earlier this month and watched KU defeat Howard at Allen Fieldhouse.

Samis Calderon, a four-star power forward in the 2025 class, has committed to Kansas, a source told On3. The 6-foot-8 prospect is originally from Brazil but currently plays at Overtime Elite in Atlanta.

Nickens, who also intends to play both sports in college, picked KU over California, Georgia, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M.
