2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but )
-
ya crazy but they puttin it out so - -I’m just relaying lol -so here we go:
Cameron Holmes - 6’5 Sg out of Good Year Arizona
Maximo Adams - - 6’6 Sf Yes incoming fresh - -Adams little brother. -KU - -K/State- - Miss St - -Oregon - -& Texas his top five right now mentioned
Alijah Arenas - - Gilbert Arenas - son
-
Saw were recruiting Tajh Ariza # 13 in the class 6’6 wing - -his dad played NBA for 18 yrs I really don’t remember him but he said even though he went to another school, he was staying out of son’s recruitment saying it was going to be his decision, no pressure to go to dad’s School. Anybody know anymore on him ?
-
Davion Adkins rescheduled his visit. Was suppose to be here this weekend but, now Scheduled for Jan 25th when we play Houston.
247 lists him currently # 29 in the class . They list him as a 6’8 Center out of Dallas Texas
-
So with the roster expanding to 15 next year are we looking at big numbers from portal again ? - -how many spots will we have ?- - will w use all 15 spots with Scholi’s ?
-
Losing 6 Sr’s for sure unless the rule change for eligibility throws a wrench there. Storr, Clemence are wildcards from guys who have played. I think Elmarko and Passmore would return. Flory and Griffen as your building blocks of guys that are playing big minutes. You have 6 possible returnees in total. I don’t think we will see 6.
We have Peterson, Calderon and Tiller currently from the HS ranks. There’s 9 possibles, figure the variance there is 2-3 guys. So, if you’re talking 15 spots you could see anywhere from 6-9 spots needed from the portal or perhaps some HS kids in the spring. Going to be mostly a brand new team next year.

@BeddieKU23 I’d bet money on Storr and Zach being gone.

@BeddieKU23 Thanks for the input, greatly appreciated. I think it’s this coming year that it expands to 15 for the roster & like you said , going to be almost a brand new team. The only difference I see well not rally difference but anyways I agree with Storr gone-- -because he was looking for the NBA draft experimenting/researching it before this Season and with the way things have played out- BUT the other is like I said before is I don’t see Rylan coming back. I don’t think he really is happy, I think if you were to ask he would tell you he made a wrong decision by coming here.
I think to a lesser degree him and AJ just hasn’t fir – hasn’t fulfilled expectations and it’s in his head now. Now this last game he played great, but like we saw with AJ and his really good showing, now AJ came right back down and was his for the year AJ. – Rylan been pretty sporadic just really hasn’t turned out like we thought. Put that with the way the Portal has become a ?crutch for these players, they just think screw this and enter the Portal - -AGAIN
I agree it’s going to be a completely different team. In a way this portal has became a nuisance because like I heard it has really changed recruiting, ?Coach’s are almost have to recruit like JC- - they are basically recruiting for two years instead of four.- -Your going to see more and more High School kids get screwed because these College Coach’s are going to go after kids with experience and kids that are good players , solid players but not great players- -these are the types of players that may need a couple of years to progress/develop.
Well with this portal now- -a lot of those types aren’t being recruited as much. Coach’s don’t feel they have the time to develop kids , maybe those three/four year players/. Now with the portal I think it ha hurt team chemistry, these kids just get here and then they are gone.
The group doesn’t REALLY get the time to really bond- -no continuity makes it hard to make that cohesiveness.- -I don’t know I’m just babbling trying to make a point on this portal.- -It is good in some ways but bad in many others. Again thanks for the input. Bottom line like you said it’s going to be a whole different roster next year- -and one more thing with them expanding the roster to 15- -you going to see less and less walk on’s
