        Trey Kaufman Renn won his injunction case and is currently eligible to play the 2026-27 season. What are the odds he actually ends up in Lawrence and if so, who's KU moving off the active roster? Ot does Self pass on TKR even though he'd be a great addition from a production standpoint.

          @Texas-Hawk-10 because tuition has already been paid I don’t think anyone can be moved off the active roster. No longer an option.

            @Texas-Hawk-10 Self sure sounded definite when he said he was done after 15. But if he could, I'm certain he'd love to add Trey. What a roster if we added him.

            Maybe he can be a second semester add on, meanwhile practicing with the team if he's living on his NIL.

            I smell a run! (better buy more toilet paper)

              I heard a rumor that Bill Self is planning on utilizing a starting lineup of Melvin Council, Trent Perry, Kohl Rosario, Paul Mbiya, and Christian Reeves. He plans on benching Stokes and Kinney so they can learn from the veterans. I also heard that Self is too stubborn to ever make changes so there is no chance Stokes cracks the starting lineup at any point this year.

                A bit early to hit the booze @jayhawk_69 ?

                But you can’t be too far into the bottle because you didn’t mention Grant Mordini as a starter!

                  Ugh, KU picked by the coaches to finish 3rd. And both St John's and Arkansas have higher preseason rankings. While I disliked the preseason number 1 tag, this is much worse.

                    @stoptheflop think you forgot to specify KU is picked 3rd in the Monster Energy Big 12 (still can't believe how little that deal was for having to see that everywhere).

                    The human polls have a bit of bias around KU since we have been underperforming for going on 3 years and are overcorrecting IMO. Top 7/8 respectively in Barttorvik/Kenpm, which feels about right.

                      You're damned if you do (get a pre-season #1 ranking) and damned if you don't (get a pre-season #1 ranking).

                        KU is 4th in the Big 12 in the preseason Kenpom ranking. Houston is 3, Arizona is 5, Iowa St. 6, and KU 8.
