KU ROSTER 2026-27
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 because tuition has already been paid I don’t think anyone can be moved off the active roster. No longer an option.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Self sure sounded definite when he said he was done after 15. But if he could, I'm certain he'd love to add Trey. What a roster if we added him.
Maybe he can be a second semester add on, meanwhile practicing with the team if he's living on his NIL.

I heard a rumor that Bill Self is planning on utilizing a starting lineup of Melvin Council, Trent Perry, Kohl Rosario, Paul Mbiya, and Christian Reeves. He plans on benching Stokes and Kinney so they can learn from the veterans. I also heard that Self is too stubborn to ever make changes so there is no chance Stokes cracks the starting lineup at any point this year.

A bit early to hit the booze @jayhawk_69 ?
But you can’t be too far into the bottle because you didn’t mention Grant Mordini as a starter!

Ugh, KU picked by the coaches to finish 3rd. And both St John's and Arkansas have higher preseason rankings. While I disliked the preseason number 1 tag, this is much worse.
-
@stoptheflop think you forgot to specify KU is picked 3rd in the Monster Energy Big 12 (still can't believe how little that deal was for having to see that everywhere).
The human polls have a bit of bias around KU since we have been underperforming for going on 3 years and are overcorrecting IMO. Top 7/8 respectively in Barttorvik/Kenpm, which feels about right.
-
You're damned if you do (get a pre-season #1 ranking) and damned if you don't (get a pre-season #1 ranking).

KU is 4th in the Big 12 in the preseason Kenpom ranking. Houston is 3, Arizona is 5, Iowa St. 6, and KU 8.

I am excited to watch our team play today. This era of college sports is frustrating, but its always nice to be able to set stories about recruiting and NIL on the backburner and just watch some actual basketball.

Joke right?
-
@Kcmatt7 Yes it was a joke. The real rumor I heard was that Self plans on starting Council, Will Thangvall, Trent Perry, Atticus "Finch" Richmond, and Grant Mordini. He will begrudgingly allow Rosario and Mbiya to play spot minutes off the bench.
