ATL is looking dangerous, great running attack.

Oline is truly special there as well I think. A great WR as well. Just need okay QB play.

@kjayhawks2.0 said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

This is getting very interesting and do we have the money for all of this? Guess if a few football players checks bounce it’s okay not like they’ve earned them at all in most cases.

From my limited understanding it's easier to raise money now for known quantities (can't get more known than Mel and TKR) at this stage if they want to be here than it is "mystery recruits" early in the process.

@FarmerJayhawk They were smart to go back to NY apparently. Mel + TKR and let's just be the best team in the country.

@TYOHawk The rules are all made up now. That said, I think Mel's case is very thin.

Oregon paid all that to lose to Oklahoma State

@kjayhawks2.0 KU number is slightly over that but not by much... Of course the coach combo we have and the stadium chews into things but still.

Athletic article is good, it is at least educated guess stuff.

Some change is coming if the Save College Sports thing happens.

@Kcmatt7 yeah the throw early-ish that hit the LIU player in the hands is almost always a pick.

Biggest concern: OL

Most excited about: DL

Wouldn't exactly trust google for this especially if just looking at the AI results. Having been around the area a ton, Michigan's budget is likely second to almost none.

Cool, will have to watch later. But in Kansas history doesn't seem to be all of KU history just this current century!

The big issue would be actually getting the old footage.

@TYOHawk said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

Not a big fan of how things are being done personally but it is what it is.

I wish we would go back to a development model but it's been clearly year to year with no concern with the players after the title year. Ironic considering that title had six of seven players that were homegrown with multiple years under Self.

I will always cheer for the fellas but I do look forward to the next regime potentially getting back to that. It's very possible in this era as we have seen with other programs.

Not sure this is legit or not, this account is known to post fake stuff, we’ll see

Yea, let's be careful about posting fake news X links. not a good practice. This is a 100% fake news/troll account, called out by many. Stick to more reliable, known sources and the world will be a better place, maybe.

Strongly agree with this. That account is definitely bogus

@crimsonblu22 he doesn't fit the roster either. Dawes and Stokes are better and you can't put him at the 2.

Just an absurd situation. He should definitely have to pay up. Bragging about it on X afterwards too...

@tyohawk I will say I agree with what you said elsewhere. I am not really a Kohl believer at all so more bodies for this spot is good and I could see him being ahead of Kohl.

@TYOHawk said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

Give him the 2 year deal. Sophomore year he could be a monster.

I fear that he will transfer after year one in the current climate but would love to be wrong because the talent is absolutely there.

Exactly why I’d push for the two year deal like Louisville did with that center.

It's a good thought but I don't think any of these contracts are remotely enforceable. If it ends up going south and he wants to leave, then he will leave I feel. I would like to see some more retention and I think it can be possible to an extent. Other programs are doing it. I think part of the issue for KU is that it's clear Self is nearing the end/openly considered retiring etc...

@approxinfinity I don't think so. From his perspective it makes sense though. With the new rules coming into effect he would lose his 5th year for college if he takes this year in high school. Another talented body at the position doesn't hurt though. The problem is moreso that he has...tendencies that lead to Bill Self not playing a kid...

@TYOHawk I'd be shocked if it doesn't happen

@wissox83 yeah it is super worthless much like preseason football

@BeddieKU23 he is 24 and has been playing pro ball. Apparently he should be eligible for one year with the old path which he can still pick. Going forward after this year I think everything is five for five
