KU ROSTER 2026-27

The Heat also remain on track to sign Tre White and J’Vonne Hadley to Exhibit 10 contracts. Keyshawn Hall is another possibility, although he is considering returning to college for a fifth season.
Each prospect is expected to compete for a two-way contract. Winderman identified White as a potential front-runner after his strong Summer League showing.

White is in play to return due to the injunction. Very interesting development.

Much bigger fan of him returning than Melvin

I don't know if it was just the whole Peterson situation last year, but the sniff factor just wasn't right with that team.
Moving on.

@TYOHawk what’s an exhibit 10 contract and wouldn’t that be more attractive than coming back to a crowded roster here? I don’t know what either team could offer.

It’s a one year, non guaranteed deal. Only worth $120,000, plus potential bonus?
So, coming back to college could at least be worth more $$$$.

Nah you’re right on the money..I appreciate it. For guys like Seth Trimble, Jaxon Kohler and Tre…they would make more money in college.

Would u turn down the Heat offer?

Rumor is, this happened because supposedly Tre White is coming back for another year and there wouldn’t be any playing time for him this year
-
Wow. Ouch if that is true.
-
He did decommit. Wants to play in 26 to maximize his 5 for 5 due to his age. It didn't work out with him joining this yr due to the White/Council situation
-
Seems like there would be other factors too. Self retiring, amount of cash left in this years pot, etc.
-
@CasterTroy Don't really like that trade. I assume White would expect to be part of the starting 5, but then who isn't? He isn't better than Dawes at the 4 or Stokes on the wing. Ahead of Blyden? I would rather have better ballhandling at the 2-3. Does that leave Parker deep on the bench? If HCBS would really play 8-9 guys, maybe, but history tells us he won't...
-
White returning is a good thing. Would have easily been a top 10ish transfer on the market. Killed it in summer league and is a much needed leader and playmaker to add back in the mix. Had a good yr besides some struggles at the end. Had a late season injury and likely was gassed from too many minutes.
Seeing some chatter on socials it’s happening unless the injunction gets turned down later.
I cannot imagine him not improving with another year here. This also makes it clear they don’t trust Kohl and Parker to get it done in big roles.
-
White would be an awkward fit but you just don't turn down a player of that caliber who knows the system. I reckon we would have to play small ball if he came back, starting Blyden, Kinney, Stokes, White, and Dawes. Another possibility is going a big ball lineup with Blyden (or TK) at the 1, Stokes at the 2 (which he could play), White at the 3, Dawes at the 4, and Mbiya (or Reeves) at the 5.
-
@Jayhawk_69 that honestly doesn't sound like an awkward fit. The small lineup would probably look the best when you can afford to run it, with the bigger lineup being good for matchups that White/Dawes need help at the 4/5 or potentially whenever Stoke/White are out. Lineup versatility would be a big plus come March if both are playable.

Not sure this is legit or not, this account is known to post fake stuff, we’ll see
-
@MR11 What I like about the big ball lineup is that we would have the size advantage in almost every game, would still be pretty quick, and still have 4 legit three-point shooters on the floor. That is a powerful and uncommon combination. The only issue is that the ballhandling in that lineup would be below average and I was looking forward to finally getting back to a 2PG look.
