KU ROSTER 2026-27
-
@rockchalkjayhawk His low overall field goal percentage is not a product of him being bad a finishing at the rim. It is dragged down by the fact that his 3pt% was low and the fact that Council took way more desperation shots at the end of the shotclock than anyone else on the team (I will find a source to verify this later). I will see if I can hunt down his fg% at the rim.

was this the one where Bill Self praised Melvin? I thought it was a 6-21 night where he said "its the greatest 6-21 night i've ever seen" or something. This one was against Syracuse so I figured it was this one, even if it was 3-15, because Syracuse zone always dares people to shoot midrange shots.

White has joined the fight to get a 5th yr. He is an added plaintiff in Indiana along with 89 others. Although it doesn't appear he entered the portal during the window needed in the spring and would need a ruling to open it up.
Ha

@BeddieKU23 not at KU?
-
I’m honestly over the old guys in college, just give 5 years to play 4 seasons and that it’s. Don’t need 27 year olds out there playing 19 and 20 year olds.

As promised, I found Melvin Council's shooting percentage at the rim. It was 53.8, which is not elite but not terrible either.

It is important to remember it would have probably been higher if Council were not the guy we always asked to try to score in late shotclock situations. As promised, I found a source corroborating this as well:
-
No he's not on campus or registered for classes. Imagine his specific case while part of the larger plaintiff suit is very unlikely to yield a positive result. He needs too much to go his way from what i see
-
I agree that the old guys need to move on.
I also believe the NCAA made this mess possible with how they changed the rules suddenly again. Lawsuits were always going to test any rules put in place because there's an established history of courts overruling them.

@kjayhawks2.0 Its all about $$$$$$

The problem is the young guys move on too.
Too much movement all around to follow who is on the team each year. Sad.

Yea, the times are a changin.
It’s remarkable that the powers that be can’t see they are losing die hard fans like us.

Tre White was granted a preliminary injunction for a 5th year. Along with many others such as Jayden Dawson, Tamin Lipsey, Riley Kugel, Malik Reneau of note to KU Fans.
The circus continues.
-
Council has his hearing shortly

The hell with it... time to bring science into D1. For next year... each team is allowed two robots (height restricted to 7'). Each team is allowed two legacy players, including DNA-built guys who already died but now reanimated. Finally, I get to see Wilt play for Kansas!

I like it! But Sadly The NCAA will want to limit who the robots can be programmed like. Only one Danny Manning per roster!

A ruling was delayed on his case. Could come any day from the judge
-
It seems likely White will return. That's an even bigger add then Council if it happens and he is able to remain eligible
-
Can Darryn Peterson come back?
-
@wissox83 only if you put up 20 million for his NIL money. You can send the money to me and I’ll see that he gets it.
