Tre at 6-7 right? Couldn’t tell you how big he plays though.
Give up some top end size but looks to be an extremely switchable lineup so not all bad.
yea i’m in the dark on Tre’s game as well. I thought i read somewhere that he was really 6-5. Hopefully he can rebound at whatever his size/spot on the floor.
Hopefully if Tiller is serviceable, that will help give us some size.
I still have nightmares from those USC freaks…

Hearing Elmarko has been really good and could push to start. Dawson is a really good 6th man if needed.
Elmarko was going to start last year before he got hurt which is one of the reasons I’m much higher in him than most others. It’s also why Self hasn’t pushed as hard for a PG in the portal the way he has for the 2-4 spots.

Evan Mobley was the 3rd pick in the draft. You don’t run up against players like him very often.
-
Answering multiple questions here
Tre White should start at the four.
I have the starting line-up as DP, Elmarko, Council, White, Flory based on early practice reports. Dawson will play a lot whether he starts or not.
-
Really starting to like these pieces we have. We have nice interchangeabe pieces in the back court. we have length in the back court.-- The team as a whole is very athletic- I think the defense is going to cause teams trouble.
Been hearing really good things on Council and Marcus, heard Marcus has really raised his game
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 ive watched the near perfect game durant had against us several times where we still beat him. Also, we shut down Flagg didnt we? Granted that was early in the season, before he got good and we got bad. Anyway, yeah Mobley was special.
-
Geez, what happened to the posse lookin’ to tar and feather that varmint who can’t 'cruit nor coach no more?
-
@mayjay He took all the tar and turned the chickens into pets
-
@SlimShaddy54 He is pretty clever, ain’t he, that fine-feathered friend of our’n!

KJ shut shut down Flagg, KJ wasn’t on the team when Mobley helped end that season.
-
I’m happy about this addition and feeling very positive on the team potential. We should have a more athletic team than the past years and possess solid defensive capabilities. For those worried about height… I’d rather have athleticism and long wing spans. Should be a very difficult team to beat anytime we bring energy!
-
Sounding like Mbiya will be a Hawk soon
-
@mayjay Lmao, I admit I not 100 % innocent, start sweating little gold nuggets when we start so many misses turn into one Big nervous Nancy lol. Like always Coach out his rabbits foot and BAM we just fine
-
@BeddieKU23 that would be nice
-
Bill Self big dawging Will Wade. You love to see it
-
@Kcmatt7 If Mbyia commits here, it’s not because Self outbid Wade. Mbyia got recruited over plain and simple. NC State allegedly took some of Mbyia’s NIL money and reallocated for Van Lubin who they coveted more and Mbyia left when NC State landed Scottie Ebube from Wyoming.
-
Finally, a much needed big man! Gimme a mobile 4 and I’ll feel pretty dang good about the team.
-
Some really great news!!! Kohl reminds me of Nick Collison and can’t wait to watch what Jacque does now with all the talent.
-
In what way does Kohl remind you of Nick Collison?
-
Mbiya is a Jayhawk. Big time add at needed position
-
@Jhawk69 His height, demeanor and ability to get to the rim. He seems to be KJ like with lobs though. Just initially thought that while watching his tapes
-
@RockChalkinTexas Lot better rebounder then KJ- --Lot better rim protector-- much longer wing span 7’9.-- -kinda raw , still learning he has been playing ball for three years.- -gotta little post up move --and your right he loves to try and tear down the rim at all times.
One thing about it is he is not going to have to come in and have the entire load on his shoulders. Like I read from another site actually all he needs to o is rebound, score some and defend the rim right now, spell flory a bit and be able to learn the system.

He said Tarik Black was his mentor!
-
If I could get paid for each of the comments on this thread…Wondering if it’s safe to shut er down now? Is Bill done? Roster is set?
-
@SlimShaddy54 I meant KJ as far as getting up to the rim. His jump is what reminds me of KJ.
-
@RockChalkinTexas Oh gotcha , I thought you were talking overall player my bad

I don’t believe we are done. I’ll be surprised if we don’t use that last scholarship. Seems like we have our immediate needs addressed now. Maybe its time for Self to pull an ace from his sleeve and land someone who can offer additional flexibility in a lineup… like a 6’8" PF capable from the perimeter with handles and defense. A guy who could play 3-5 position. Maybe we sit on an Int’l prospect who has to get legals in order because we aren’t really at a loss if we don’t fill that scholie.

I don’t think the last addition will be meaningful if there is one but you never know I suppose.
-
Yeah any other additions would be walk on types. Revshare is tapped.
-
Also there remains no better closer than Billy Eugene Self.
-
We seem to have a decent mix of older and younger guys. I’d like to get an experienced shooter on the roster. Somebody who could get hot like Coit could once in awhile and win us a few games.
-

Not sure what’s believable about our cash on hand anymore, Mr Farmer. We heard the same thing before we signed Rosario and the big guy whose name I forget how to spell.
If this is Self’s last run, make it count.
-
Have a hard time betting he will retire since this feels like the first coherent roster weve put together in the NIL era. Bill might have a few in him yet.
-
And Self is waste deep in 2026 recruiting… doesn’t show signs of him walking out the door. Maybe all the recent skepticism is fueling him. Might he have a recruiting chip on his shoulder? It’s been ages since I preached chip!!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk post-House there is a hard cap we have in terms of RevShare. That money is spent. Now, if there are donors willing to pony up for NIL for a guy (subject to getting through Deloitte’s clearinghouse) that’s a different deal but KUAD is tapped.
-
I can confirm what Farmer is saying about revshare. I seriously would not expect much at all with a potential last addition.
-
If revenue sharing is the lions share of the money paid to players, KU will be an also ran. NIL is still the driver and if that money is dried up they better get to looking harder.

Ahh, gotcha. So RevShare is that $20 million cap that schools have for all sports?

Yes. All power conference schools have the same lid in terms of revshare
