KU ROSTER 2026-27
-
Much like KU hiring Ed Manning as an assistant coach, Kentucky is supposedly offering Stokes' mentor/high school assistant coach, Jamal Crawford an assistant job.

Thought experiment: Would you rather Stokes commit or would you rather 5for5 pass and Tre White return?
Stokes by far
-
I'm so sick and tired ofall this stokes drama. the kid loves being in the spot light - - --center of attention he needs that. I really feel with all the money he is asking in NIL and the distraction he is going to be - -he wants it to be all about him/---HUGE DISTRACTION he is NOT WORTH IT. major head ache BTE BYE he could be the final nail in Coach Self's coffin
-
@wissox83 for sure not stokes - - --major head case.
-
I saw a tweet of his showing annoyance with Kentucky fans. He said I'm an 18 year old making a big decision. I'm taking my time. You follow recruiting closer than I but I see a young man not making a rash decision instead of a major head case.

Stokes is a difference maker just by being more aggressive than DP. But as it stands now we haven't cracked the top 30 yet in the polls I have seen. I'm thinking Stokes will go elsewhere and by now has made it clear he thinks it's just business first. If a team cannot average 85 points and win the rebound battle you are down in the 5/6 seed scrum. The coaching is just too good anymore and evidently we are not rich enough to do much more than this. Maybe Taylen Kinney has just enough pull on TS. I hope that I am completely wrong. Tiller will have one really good game next season and Flory will not be the savior for Louisville but I wish all of our big men had stayed.

@BeddieKU23 Aaron Miles should’ve won a Natty as a true freshman here but then we clanked dozens of FTs.

Everyone at this point is just going to go to the highest bidder. Nothing else matters whether it’s coaching pedigree, venue or academics. Florys deal is supposedly worth more than 7 million. They can have him for that all day IMO.

Depends on the player. Darryn Peterson did take less by coming to KU. Stokes would be the same situation. Offer is a fair bit less than UK's is what I understand but Pope is so unlikable.

https://x.com/MattNorlander/status/2049146594583331028/ one of the most annoying recruiting sagas that I've seen this team be a part of is finally coming to an end today

5:30 on Inside the NBA

State your predictions below!
I got KU.
-
Rock Chalk Jayhawk
-
An interesting gambit by a team like Maine or NJIT might be to spend 100% of the budget on a player like Peterson or Stokes and comprise the rest of the roster of walk-on caliber players and see how their season shakes out.
-
What do the prediction markets say?
Rock Chalk!
-
At least this saga ends today as far as destination goes. All the positivity I have on this situation. Sigh
-
@FarmerJayhawk Is that 5:30 CT?

I wonder what Miller is going to do next as it’s been mostly radio silence with him since his visit. The national update on him didn’t reveal what other programs were showing interest so it’s been quiet. I think he is a key addition and would bring some much needed experience to the table.
