Kansas secured a major addition to its frontcourt for the 2025-26 season with 5-star power forward Bryson Tiller committing to the school on Saturday.

In a live commitment announcement on the 247Sports YouTube channel, Tiller revealed his choice of Kansas over Auburn Indiana and Georgia Tech:

Tiller is fifth at his position and 21st overall in 247Sports' composite rankings for 2025.

Eric Bossi of 247Sports scouted the 6'9" standout in December 2023 and projected him to be a first-round pick in the NBA draft while calling him "one of the most polished frontcourt players in the class of 2025."

"Capable of operating on the block or facing out to the three-point line, Tiller is a versatile scorer," Bossi wrote. "He's got broad shoulders, long arms and good functional athleticism in tight spots that he uses to score over and through defenders at the rim. He makes jump hooks, is a good passer out of the post and doesn't get sped up."

After starting his high school career at Pace Academy in Atlanta, Tiller signed with Overtime Elite in July 2022. He maintained his college eligibility by declining the $100,000 salary he could have received.

During the 2023-24 season, the Georgia native averaged 12.2 points on 46.1 percent shooting along with 9.4 rebounds. During the playoffs, he put up 15.6 points and 8.1 boards as the City Reapers successfully defended their Overtime Elite title.

Tiller's shooting remains a work in progress as he hit 20 percent of his three-pointers last year. He only attempted 1.2 threes per game, though, which can make it difficult to build a regular rhythm.

With more reps and better coaching, his jumper could progress to a point where opposing defenses at least have to respect his scoring ability away from the basket.

Tiller is the second commit for head coach Bill Self in 2025. The first was another 5-star talent, shooting guard Darryn Peterson

In July, Tiller spoke to Bossi about a recent visit he had made to Lawrence, Kansas.

"They have a great coaching staff, a great culture obviously," he said. "We went again on an unofficial just to see the skill development and all of that stuff, the little details. We just wanted to gather more information. Obviously going back we wanted to learn a lot more about development, off-season development and how I would be able to fit into their system and evolve as a player while I'm there if i go there."

Despite the Jayhawks' three second-round NCAA tournament exits in four years, Self's sales pitch was probably pretty straightforward. The program is a model of consistency in the regular season and regularly moves its best players on to the NBA.

With Georgia Tech among his finalists, the allure of staying home and suiting up for the Yellow Jackets was likely strong. Kansas has a lot to offer Tiller instead.
