KU ROSTER 2026-27
-
I can’t imagine Tre coming back. He had a great summer league!
-
@crimsonblu22 he doesn't fit the roster either. Dawes and Stokes are better and you can't put him at the 2.
-
Hope we see some traction soon on getting guys
-
I don't know how much longer i can wait to get a starting lineup discussion going!
-
The Heat also remain on track to sign Tre White and J’Vonne Hadley to Exhibit 10 contracts. Keyshawn Hall is another possibility, although he is considering returning to college for a fifth season.
Each prospect is expected to compete for a two-way contract. Winderman identified White as a potential front-runner after his strong Summer League showing.
-
White is in play to return due to the injunction. Very interesting development.

Much bigger fan of him returning than Melvin

I don't know if it was just the whole Peterson situation last year, but the sniff factor just wasn't right with that team.
Moving on.

@TYOHawk what’s an exhibit 10 contract and wouldn’t that be more attractive than coming back to a crowded roster here? I don’t know what either team could offer.

It’s a one year, non guaranteed deal. Only worth $120,000, plus potential bonus?
So, coming back to college could at least be worth more $$$$.

Nah you’re right on the money..I appreciate it. For guys like Seth Trimble, Jaxon Kohler and Tre…they would make more money in college.

Would u turn down the Heat offer?

Rumor is, this happened because supposedly Tre White is coming back for another year and there wouldn’t be any playing time for him this year
-
Wow. Ouch if that is true.
-
He did decommit. Wants to play in 26 to maximize his 5 for 5 due to his age. It didn't work out with him joining this yr due to the White/Council situation
-
Seems like there would be other factors too. Self retiring, amount of cash left in this years pot, etc.
-
@CasterTroy Don't really like that trade. I assume White would expect to be part of the starting 5, but then who isn't? He isn't better than Dawes at the 4 or Stokes on the wing. Ahead of Blyden? I would rather have better ballhandling at the 2-3. Does that leave Parker deep on the bench? If HCBS would really play 8-9 guys, maybe, but history tells us he won't...
-
White returning is a good thing. Would have easily been a top 10ish transfer on the market. Killed it in summer league and is a much needed leader and playmaker to add back in the mix. Had a good yr besides some struggles at the end. Had a late season injury and likely was gassed from too many minutes.
Seeing some chatter on socials it’s happening unless the injunction gets turned down later.
I cannot imagine him not improving with another year here. This also makes it clear they don’t trust Kohl and Parker to get it done in big roles.
-
White would be an awkward fit but you just don't turn down a player of that caliber who knows the system. I reckon we would have to play small ball if he came back, starting Blyden, Kinney, Stokes, White, and Dawes. Another possibility is going a big ball lineup with Blyden (or TK) at the 1, Stokes at the 2 (which he could play), White at the 3, Dawes at the 4, and Mbiya (or Reeves) at the 5.
