KU ROSTER 2026-27
-
He’s just keeping options open on the off chance that court case gets him an extra year of eligibility and KU has already filled its roster.
-
Reeves was visiting Michigan State. However, Michigan St just landed Bonke.
-
No Bonke’s Adventures
-
I don’t see us competing for a championship with Kinney at PG, but maybe he’s better than what I’ve watched.
-
@Kcmatt7 Mel would definitely be a better option at PG in the unlikely scenario he can come back.
-
@Jayhawk_69 Some of the bigs who have committed elsewhere:
Flory
Estrella
Sherrell
Cyril
Sylla
Hines
Yigitoglu
Fru
Fielder
Riebe
BonkeOnly guys remaining guys at this point are Diop, Thiam, and Reeves; the first two who would be very costly.
We used to be big man U. Could we not afford any of these others guys, or they just didn't want to play at KU?
-
The good news is that Diop and Thiam are by far the best bigs in the portal. The bad news is we probably won't land either.
-
I thought Stokes might announce today. If he announces between tomorrow and Saturday he would have to share his sports media attention with the NFL draft. Perhaps he will announce next week.
-
If Stokes committing is Plan A, what is Plan B?

That is the multi-million dollar question. It seems as if we've put all our eggs in that basket. Wholly apart from whether Stokes is really worth it, if he commits to UK or elsewhere, what then???
I guess we would have some budget for Diop or Thiam? But that really wouldn't be an upgrade from Flory and we would still be in desperate need of scoring wing. Not much left other than Juke Harris, and I assume we can't afford both him and one of the above bigs? Want nothing to do with the Baylor guy who just entered; black hole with the ball...
-
We have a plan B and a plan C. They might not be good plans, but we've got 'em.

Care to share those B and C plans? And that they might not be good plans, which seems pretty obvious at this point, isn't reassuring as to whether there will be any difference in on-court production on off-court dynamics from the past 3 years...
-
I don't know what the plans are. Maybe some international prospects

NBA Draft dropouts too I’m sure. Going to be a few guys hit the market then
