Ben Hooke, writer for the Daily Kansan, shared his observations on the Jayhawks' performance in London: When a band embarks on a world tour, certain benchmarks often determine the success of an international show. Did the band retain its signature stage presence? Did they incorporate subtle touches of local culture? Were there exclusive elements for devoted fans who traveled across seas? Most importantly, did they perform the essential, signature hits that define their identity? Evaluating these criteria, the Wembley Stadium opening match for Lance Leipold and the Kansas Jayhawks against Arizona State on Saturday appeared to be a triumphant success. With the football team on a break, the Daily Kansan continues to focus on other sports stories. The baseball team has had an exceptional season, earning the top-ranked JUCO class according to JBB (Junior College Baseball) for 2026. Kansas received 19 JUCO recruits for the upcoming 2026 fall season, with practices already in progress. The Jayhawks are scheduled to host their first exhibition game on Saturday, October 3, against Illinois State at Hoglund Ballpark. In volleyball, Kansas swept Grand Canyon State on Sunday and maintained an undefeated home record this season. Similar to Friday's victory against Ole Miss, the Jayhawks dominated the third set, with a crucial kill from freshman pin hitter Taylor Stanley contributing to the team's record of 7-3 overall and a perfect 5-0 at home. Freshman Taylor Stanley received accolades for both Big 12 Rookie and Offensive Player of the Week honors, marking her second consecutive week as Rookie of the Week. Reese Messer was named to the Big 12 Starting Seven. Basketball fans may have noticed a change in the men's team schedule, as many home games will not be played at Allen Fieldhouse. The most appealing home games include exhibitions against Louisville on October 25 and Duke on November 2.",
