KU ROSTER 2026-27

I heard a rumor somewhere out in the rumorsphere that Stokes now has a Kentucky basketball tattoo.
Here is a source, especially for @mayjay

The 5 to play 5 rule is grinding things to a halt. All the sudden it’ll be a buyers market.
-
@Jayhawk_69 It's in writing, so must be true!

Louisville is reported to be throwing stupid money around, so I don't know that it was ever feasible to get Flory back especially knowing he had one foot out the door already. Definitely wasn't going to be
I've heard Louisville has the benefit of private NIL... something I mentioned in here last year and had few believers in it. Private NIL has not limits... no institutional $22 mil cap. Nothing. If we really want to compete, we need to create a private NIL structure and then go build a budget at least twice what we have now.
I smell a run! (better buy more toilet paper)

Currently we only have 1 player on the roster that's not a first or 2nd year player.
Yikes

The issue is that this was supposed to be regulated but it basically hasn’t been. Collectives aren’t supposed to exist anymore.
Whole thing is a mess.

Sounding like a deal for Christian Reeves is close to done

Yes
-
Mbiya and Reeves is maybe good enough at that spot. Not enthralled by it. If they get a bunch of scoring to surround them with it will be fine.
Not hitting panic button yet by any means. They’ll field a good squad.
-
Dawes can also play the 5 if need be
-
We could name a Keanu Dawes and Christian Reeves front court "Keanu Reeves"
-
As is, our lineup is quite underwhelming. Hoping that changes soon.
-
We have a lot of good role players but we are missing a star. That is where Stokes is supposed to come in
-
@Jayhawk_69 oh….my… god…. How did i not see this! Hahahaha
-
@Jayhawk_69
He is no star, far from it -
@BeddieKU23 Why do you say that?
-
@BeddieKU23 black hole?

Big man market is so cooked. Hopefully Paul develops further.

Not sure but I'd imagine Peterson level usage. He did show he was a high level passer this year but that was also what DP was known for so who knows. I just have a hard time believing he's going to lock all the way in and be mature but I suppose there's always a miracle. That's if he even ends up here which is still a daily circus
-
I don't like the fit and the cost to get him is a huge risk among other things
