KU ROSTER 2026-27
-
A KU football discussion in a basketball roster thread! The times are a changin’?
-
@stoptheflop we spend more RevShare on basketball than any other Big 12 school, so there just isn’t the money available to get a $2m QB and acquire the talent required to compete in the league.

Council's lawsuit is progressing in NY after he refiled there. September 23rd seems to be an important date for him. Note he is enrolled at KU which is never a bad sign if things do go his way.
Interesting that former Rutgers Center Emmanuel Ogbole apparently KU filed or helped him file an eligibility waiver on his behalf in NY. Former teammate of Council while they were at Monroe College years back. His case sounds a bit interesting.
Think the Tre White possibility is over.

We are approaching the deadline for adding classes this semester. Athletes need to be enrolled to qualify. If not enrolled, they will not qualify to play until possibly the spring semester. There has been talk that if Council gets status to play another year he might go to another school. I find that unlikely if he's already enrolled here and not somewhere else. This is just my opinion... do any of you have more info or can challenge what I'm saying here?

Where's Tre?
-
Saw a picture of him on Twitter today in the Miami Heat team camp photo
-
Very likely he will be at KU if eligible.
I want it to happen badly because this team desperately needs him.
It's hard to think that its September and the season trajectory of this team is heavily weighted to this decision.
-
Council is in the portal but I think that is just a contingency plan for if he is given eligibility but KU has its roster filled.
I have mixed feelings about whether Council should be deemed eligible or not. But it would be hypocrisy that only the NCAA is capable of if they deem him ineligible after some of the decisions they've made the past couple of weeks.

OK, i'm prepared for the down votes ... but say what now?
The trajectory of this year's team is heavily weighted to Melvin??? C'mon.
i had a long rant below, but decided on a kinder, gentler approach

Council is the 2nd best player on the team if he is able to return. I'd say that's good enough to have a significant influence on what this team could be with him here again. I'm not sure we have enough ball handling, leadership or playmaking ability without him. There's potential for sure with several but there's a lot of things that need to go well for a team without Melvin to be successful.
Perhaps I have a slightly biased opinion on Melvin. He was fantastic imo and an easy player to root for. He seemed to cherish being a Jayhawk and players like that don't come around often anymore. I want guys like that back and he can have a major impact on the team
