The hell with it... time to bring science into D1. For next year... each team is allowed two robots (height restricted to 7'). Each team is allowed two legacy players, including DNA-built guys who already died but now reanimated. Finally, I get to see Wilt play for Kansas!
I like it! But Sadly The NCAA will want to limit who the robots can be programmed like. Only one Danny Manning per roster!

Council has his hearing shortly
A ruling was delayed on his case. Could come any day from the judge
-
It seems likely White will return. That's an even bigger add then Council if it happens and he is able to remain eligible
-
Can Darryn Peterson come back?
-
@wissox83 only if you put up 20 million for his NIL money. You can send the money to me and I’ll see that he gets it.

Ugh, this could get ugly with more court stuff to follow.
I hope we don't become some sort of poster child mid season.
-
Crazy. This is a home run add.

We won't

I assume this means we are going small this year?
-
There are still some legal hurdles but he can practice with the team now.
-
What's the starting line up look like now for KU? I'm assuming Kinney, Stokes, White, and Dawes, but who's getting bumped to the bench? Does Self go small with White and Dawes in the front court and Blyden starting or is Blyden getting bumped and Reeves is starting at the 5?
-
Tre White can scrap, handle the ball, rebound and shoot threes and free throws. Good.

Kinney isn’t starting over Blyden
Blyden
Tre
Stokes
Dawes
Paul -
My guess is
Kinney
Blyden
White
Stokes
Dawes -
I still think Rosario starts over Kinney. But minutes will definitely have to be earned either way
-
If we are starting Kinney that's tough. He's got a lot to prove.
I'd like to see this combo
Blyden
White
Stokes
Dawes
MbiyaKohl, Kinney, Reeves, Parker, Adkins. An intriguing mix of depth. On paper its much better then we've had.
-
I'm just glad they were able to find some seats open in classes for Tre. I know he'll be taking those classes very seriously.
-
I was actually thinking about how Tre White's addition could give us a lineup similar to our 2022 team. I made a chart to prove it:
position - 2022 player - 2027 player - rationale
1 - DaJuan Harris - Leroy Blyden (or Taylen Kinney) - the one point guard and small player in the starting lineup
2 - Christrian Braun - Tyran Stokes - oversized two guard who can handle secondary ball-handling duties
3 - Ochai Agbaji - Tre White - veteran wing who can shoot
4 - Jalen Wilson - Keanu Dawes - bigger guy who can rebound and score from anywhere
5 - David McCormack - Paul Mbiya (or Christian Reeves) - the one true big guy in the lineup
And as a bonus the guys who do not start between Blyden/Kinney and Mbiya/Reeves can slide into the Remy Martin and Mitch Lightfoot roles of the 2022 squad.

It’s interesting that everywhere I look most think Kinney, even though he’s a 5-star recruit, needs some time and won’t start. I don’t know any better, but that’s rare for a 5-star, right? Weird.
I’m honestly mixed about Tre returning. Good player, but he was part of last year’s awful chemistry. How will he fit in with Stokes after the DP weirdness? I just recall him pouting at times.
I think Kohl and Dennis Parker gotta be steamed Tre is back. Limits their minutes, especially when Self trims the rotation to 7!
I wonder how open Self has been with them this summer about this.
