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.

The Big 12 has banned all athletes who have played any pro basketball or entered the NBA draft without withdrawing before the withdrawl deadline. I suppose that closes the door on any possibility Melvin or Tre comes back.

Does that mean Mbyia has to vamoose?

@rockchalkjayhawk I hope not

Incorrect neither signed a pro deal and there was nothing in the rules regarding playing summer league. Its still a mess. But id say the chances of either returning are low, perhaps Council having a better shot since his hearing is next week and White to current date has not joined a lawsuit for his case

No he is okay, he is however listed as Jr eligibility wise under the new crapshoot

KState is paying NIL of $2 million to QB Avery; other Big 12 teams pay this amount or more too. Why didn't KU use $ 2 million of its estimated 2026 $ 20 million NIL/Revenue Sharing funds to bring in a QB? We do this in basketball, so why isn't the higher revenue generating sport bringing in more talent? A new stadium without a competitive team seems like a waste. I'm sorry for being so negative this morning, but Cole Ballard is a former walk on and Marshall has barely gotten on the field his first years here. Oh well, I'll still watch and hope for the best.

@stoptheflop We will see. If Zeke Marshall turns out to be good then we will look smart for saving $2 million. Personally, I would like for us to use our money to secure dominant offensive and defensive lines.

A KU football discussion in a basketball roster thread! The times are a changin’?
-
@stoptheflop we spend more RevShare on basketball than any other Big 12 school, so there just isn’t the money available to get a $2m QB and acquire the talent required to compete in the league.
