KU Roster for 25-26
-
Sounds like Noah Shelby has entered the portal.
So, he was truly a designated student athlete.
** Roster above updated.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk A miracle occurred; Moses parted the waters that Shelby could arrive, but then Noah fled on his boat.

Ha!
What kind of NIL package would Moses ask for?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I don’t know how much it would be, but whatever the amount, it would be etched in stone.

Nginyu Ngala. Things are heating up quickly

Hard pass on soon to be 27 year olds!
What the hell is happening with college sports?!
-
My KU roomie and great friend was telling me his nephew just got picked to be a student manager!

He’s a 1 year rental that’s essentially going to be doing scout team stuff. He’s not someone being brought in to play a big role on the court. I’m fine with players like this because he’s not going to do anything to embarrass the university.
-
What makes you say he is a one year rental?
-
@Jhawk69 He only has one year of eligibility left. Frankly I’m not even sure how given how old he is and how many years he has already played.
-
@BShark He is 26 years old.
-
One roster spot to go. Will we fill it?
-
Updated.
May as well look ahead to see what’s in store for next season.
I’ll try to keep track of the offseason drama here. I’ll keep this mostly official, so no portal projections here.
Roster size: 14 (includes ALL but DSA players. Normally it’s 15, but we lost one to NCAA sanctions)
Roster size at the moment: 13 (a bit sketchy given the DSA rules)

Would love a wing in that spot.

Right now, it sounds like he won’t be playing basketball this upcoming season based on what the KC Star wrote in their article on Ngala committing.

Yea looking at the roster we do seem thin with experience at the SF spot?

@BShark He is 26 years old.
Right, it’s pretty crazy that he has eligbility left. Modern times I suppose.
@rockchalkjayhawk I would be rather surprised if that spot was filled. Only so much $ and playing time.

Yea on that roster spot? Seems weird for a major program like Kansas to not have a full roster of players. Times are changing i suppose.

It is also more than it used to be now. 15 instead of 13. Admittedly it was always a big bigger with walk-ons. The last spots now are essentially walk-ons. Finding cheap players in this era will be important.

Well for this year at least, we still have some “walk-ons.”
