I’m intrigued to see how Tre and Tyran interact. Will it be a competition for the limelight, or a mentoring relationship? On a team basis, Tre brings some outside shooting and tough defense that were recognized shortfalls for the team, but I also worry if he’ll disrupt the chemistry that was already building. Self is going to have to do a masterful coaching job to get this team up to their potential. I hope that job includes expanding the late season roster to 9 or 10 guys rather than the 7 we’ve seen of late.
-
Yeah and I think that's a big part of why they would love to have Melvin back.

Right to work

@MN-Hawk I think this past season is proof that Tre can share the spotlight and is a good teammate. The DP circus was not easy to navigate and I attribute a lot of the inconsistency the rest of the team experienced to that roller coaster. I think Tre goes as the team goes, I don’t expect him to be a leader but I expect him to be a solid professional. So whatever positive formula we had cooking before his re-addition, I’m chalking one more in the “dudes” column. Big win, imo. Hope Tyran is consistent so we can build, grow, gel. That is crucial.

Chatter is picking up on the Trey Kauffman-Renn front

Free-for-all!
May the best man (college hoops program) win.
This is why i don't believe any discussion about how KU has no money to spend...Trey No. 1 is back, Trey No. 2 in the grocery cart.
Does this guy play center or PF?

I’d wager a lot of these 5th year guys are taking decent discounts, as two way and exhibit 10 deals don’t pay all that much. Trey could play either, though likely more 5 here since Dawes is a better shooter.

Would be perfect
-
@FarmerJayhawk He'd be eligible this year? I assume yes.
-
Trey Kauffman Renn stuff is heating up. This is crazy
-
TKR has a cousin on the woman’s basketball team for those wondering of a connection to the program.
He never signed a contract with the timberwolves despite being drafted in the 2nd round.
Seems like this one is heading in a good direction from Swain’s last update. Now his eligibility case is another story.
-
Boy if White, TKR and Council are all eligible and play for KU that just completely changed everything. It certainly makes Self’s job difficult but that’s why they pay him big money. No idea how the roster spots play out, don’t care tbh but it’s worth mentioning we only have 1 spot currently open.
There will be some unhappy campers on the team if all of this plays out.
-
We can’t get both I believe we only have 1 scholarship open.
-
@TYOHawk The rules are all made up now. That said, I think Mel's case is very thin.
Absolutely do not click (new video sept 30 2025): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjs1LR1sarQ

I’ll also say I prefer adding TKR over Melvin as well but I know how Coach feels about Melvin.
-
Mel was just granted a preliminary injunction and is eligible for the time being. Council must draft an order and give to the NCAA by October 27th.
Whoa, I wasn’t really expecting this outcome, it’s not final though
-
Scholarship situation would work itself out I’m assuming. I can’t imagine Self is going to let that stand in the way of having all 3 guys if that’s what ends up being possible
-
Having all 3 in theory raises the ceiling/ floor of this team considerably. I’m just not sure how all the parts will fit especially with where White and TKR would play. White probably isn’t a 2 guard but that’s probably where you slot him. TKR isn’t really a true 5 but that’s where you need him most. No idea what Stokes real position is in College but I’m expecting it’s the wing? So many questions. The sooner you get the old guys practicing with the team the better. There’s going to be growing pains

Enough to get the TRO LFG
-
@FarmerJayhawk They were smart to go back to NY apparently. Mel + TKR and let's just be the best team in the country.
