Breaking: Kansas big man Paul Mbiya will return to Kansas for his sophomore season, source tells
@247sports“I’m staying at the University of Kansas.
This decision comes from the heart. Through every challenge, every doubt, and every moment of adversity, I’ve grown stronger. I’m not running from anything — I’m embracing it.
I want my coaches, my future teamates, and the fans to know that I believe in this journey. I believe in who I am becoming. I’m a special player, not just because of what I do on the court, but because of what I stand for.
No pressure can break me. No obstacle can stop me. And no amount of money will ever define me or buy my values.
You can’t buy heart.
You can’t buy loyalty.
You can’t buy what’s inside me.”I know who I am.
And I know what I came here to do.Rock Chalk forever.

That is good to hear, when most players have no loyalty to where they play. I hope he makes great strides and him and Rosario become all time favorites. If Mel could come back, that would be awesome to have the “dawg” on the team to have the leadership.

Mel coming back would be huge. Kinney wouldn’t have to start that way. He could be a very valuable 6th man.

I think it is extremely unlikely Council comes back

Meh.
I am grateful for this time at KU, but historically it seems we could and should do better than Melvin as a starter.

All the DP detractors might look back at him more fondly as less productive millionaire freshmen follow.
We will always wonder what if he was healthy or just shut it down. I think both scenarios may have been shown better results unfortunately. I still have big question marks on how he will be at the next level. Hes not Cooper Flagg or even close to him IMO. Give me a freshman that is able to play all year and make the team around him better over DP all day everyday.

I personally don’t see Reeves starting at least not from day one anyways. But I also don’t see Kohl coming off the bench at all. Give him an offseason in the gym and he will be tough to keep out of the line up.

I agree to an extent, Mel had his games where he was simply amazing but he was just wildly inconsistent which maybe chalked up to his inexperience at this level of college. It stank to see how badly him and Tre struggled in the post season. I’d still be happy to have him back just don’t think it will happen.

I can’t say I know much yet about Kinney. But, I was hoping a portal transfer would take over.
Not high hopes for Kinney?

He’s fine, just more of an inefficient scorer who hasn’t quite figured out the PG position yet.

So Paul is ours again and are we getting Elmarko too?
