Scout Report
The 6-9 center who helped lead one of the nation's most loaded prep rosters is now making his mark in the Big 12.
Background
Hailing from Dallas, Texas, Adkins made the move to Prolific Prep for his final high school seasons, joining an absolutely stacked roster. Playing alongside elite talents like Darryn Peterson, Caleb Holt, and Bruce Branch III, he was part of one of the most talented prep lineups in recent memory. The experience competing against top-tier competition daily prepared him well for the jump to major college basketball.
Playing Style
Adkins brings legitimate size and length to the frontcourt at 6-9, with the frame to hold his own in the paint against physical Big 12 competition. His development at Prolific Prep showcased improved mobility and court awareness, essential traits for a modern center. While still refining his offensive skill set, he shows flashes of being able to step away from the basket and contribute in multiple ways. His defensive presence and rebounding ability provide immediate value, though he'll need to continue developing his post moves and consistency to maximize his impact at the college level.
Recruitment
Having already enrolled at Kansas after being ranked 70th nationally in the 2026 class, Adkins chose the Jayhawks over an impressive list of 15 other D1 suitors including Houston, Auburn, and Indiana. His ceiling as a versatile big man who can develop into a two-way force made him an attractive target for Bill Self's program. The early commitment allows him to grow within Kansas' system while contributing to their frontcourt depth.
