THE KU 2026-27 ROSTER
I'll update this as players come and go. Awaiting some portal action!
INCOMING FRESHMEN
Taylen Kinney — PG — 5 star — 6-1 / 185
Scoring and playmaking guard. Not a great threat from deep so far.
Davion Adkins — F — 4 star — 6-9 / 205
Athletic lefty with 7-2 wing span. Runs well, bouncy, lob threat, shot blocker. Effort not always there. Seems like he needs some maturity to his game before he puts it all together.
Trent Perry — WING — 4 star — 6-5 / 190
High motor, but most say he’ll be a quality bench/role player. Tough, undersized for a wing, but plays bigger.
Luke Barnett — SG — 4 star — 6-4 / 180
Shooter. Shooter. Shooter. Decent in transition. Good size, good motor, but not a great defender. Did I say shooter?
POTENTIAL RETURNEES
From most likely to return, to least likely.
Jamari McDowell — G — 6-5 / 200 — junior
Elmarko Jackson — G — 6-3 / 195 — junior
Samis Calderon — F — 6-8 / 200 — sophomore
Paul Mbyia — C — 7-0 / 245 — sophomore
Kohl Rosario — G — 6-6 / 200 — sophomore=
Bryson Tiller — F — 6-11 / 240 — sophomore
Flory Bidunga — C — 6-10 / 235 — junior
Has declared for NBA draft, and has entered portal. Return seems unlikely.
WALK ON TYPES
Wilder Evers — G — 6-4 / 195 — senior
Corbin Allen — G — 6-5 / 175 — sophomore
Will Thengvall — G — 6-4 / 190 — junior
POTENTIAL INCOMING FRESHMEN
Tyran Stokes — SF — 5 star / 6-7 / 230
Premier recruit. Sized like a forward, with guard skills. Can create off dribble. Finds the rim. Not a great shooter. Has the tools to be a great defender, playmaker.
