Mordini is essentially a practice player. Self's own words pretty much confirm that one. Any minutes he gets this season will be extreme foul trouble or at the end of blow outs.

@Kcmatt7 I think there is a very real chance if they get someone decent that Kinney ends up the primary back-up at the 1 and 2.
Bark bark. For real though, Council would be a really nice guard for this team and provide some needed leadership in the locker room
-
So reading in between the lines here … sounds like we really have just two, maybe three legit starters so far?
Stokes, Dawes, Blyden?
No bueno

@rockchalkjayhawk well, it's not like we're UCONN , Michigan or Duke. We're just Kansas.
-
But Kansas has the Top 3 class now! #RockChalk

@NormRoberts I would think McNeil wants to start. He's good and in a vacuum he is appealing but I wonder what he would cost and TK would have to come off the bench.
Looks like McNeil is staying at NC State.

TS is certainly saying all the right things about Self and the KU program. I think he sounds relieved that the waiting is over even though he made it himself.

Now Bill's patented 7-man rotation looks pretty clear. Kinney, Blyden Jr, Stokes, Dawes, Reeves, Rosario, and Mbiya. This team will not be good at shooting. They will be crazy fast and should be good on the glass.
Hope, wing, and a prayer if that is our rotation. Exactly 1 guy who has produced at the high major level. Two freshmen and two returnees with minimal minutes (especially Mbiya). Is Kinney really capable of running things for 30+ mpg??? Are we confident Reeves and Blyden can produce against P5 talent every game???
This line-up only works if those things happen and if Rosario follows a Braun trajectory and Mbiya really progresses. Even then we still need quality depth at the 4 and point. Any Euro talent lurking out there? Not much left in the portal...

Yes ku is still involved with bashir
well, he would qualify as a shooter we currently need. There's that. but, i don't recall much else of his game. Looks like a skinny dude.

I heard we’re in contact with James White, 6’5 wing from New Orleans. Anyone have insight on that?

@JAYHAWKFAN214 ksu guy is not hot

Best remaining players in 2026 college basketball transfer portal, latest newsF Milan Momcilovic, Iowa State Latest intel: Duke, Kentucky, Florida and Kansas reportedly in the mix; declared for NBA draft but could return to college G Juke Harris, Wake Forest Latest intel: The Detroit Free Press reported Michigan is out of the running, and On3 casted a prediction for Tennessee. North Carolina was also linked. F Allen Graves, Santa Clara Latest intel: Duke and LSU among those in the mix; declared for NBA Draft but leaving door open to college return. He was invited to the Scouting Combine. G Tounde Yessoufou, Baylor Latest intel: Another going through draft process; heavy Kentucky interest. G Paul McNeil, NC State Latest intel: Another with Kentucky interest, North Carolina and Michigan reportedly involved, but a return to NC State not being ruled out. His former coach at NC State, Will Wade, is now at LSU, which could be another suitor. F Jordan Burks, UCF Latest intel: A late addition to the portal, Burks had previous stops at Kentucky and Georgetown. He averaged a career-best 13.3 ppg and 4.8 rpg for the Knights this past season. A 6-9 forward who is a 37% shooter from deep should be a hot commodity. G Hamad Mousa, Cal Poly Latest intel: The 6-8 Qatari guard began his career at Dayton before transferring to Cal Poly prior to last season. There he averaged 20.4 ppg, 6.3 rpg and shot 37.2% from behind the arc.

BBN a rare breed?
"Rare" doesn't imply quality.... just uniqueness... including bad!
I could be way off base here... but I have a feeling Self hasn't shown his hand yet. I've heard all the rumors we have maxed out on our $14-$15mil budget (if that is the amount). It just makes no sense Self would come back for this year with that budget... a budget limiting us to a middle-of-the-pack roster. Maybe we need the current drama to play out a bit more so we can get a late donor or two to kick in some big bucks. We could do some real damage with another $5mil to spend. There are plenty of nice pieces left. I wouldn't mind pairing Momcilovic with Stokes. Imagine Stokes hard drives and pass outs to Milan for the easy trey. My biggest concern is at the 5.
Last, Self is the master of picking up someone special late in the game. He's done it before... but we do have to have financial incentive available.
I see Bashir as an option if we are down to spending very little. Isn't his defense in question?
