KU ROSTER 2026-27
-
KU is currently down to 3 returning players with Kohl, Calderon, and Corbin Allen who redshirted last season.
At this point, other than resolving the Stokes situation, it looks like a bruising big man should be the top priority in the portal. The Big 12 has become the old Big East in regards to physical play and KU doesn't Calderon and Adkins are not that style of big man.

I thought maybe a kid who had been developing for three years would stay. smh

I feel like we know who Jamari is at this point and this is okay. He probably wants more PT and I don’t think we have more to offer him than he got a year ago. Also likely helps with Rosario situation.

Food for thought: Michigan's starting 5 were all transfers last year!
I smell a run! (better buy more toilet paper)

Is it possible we could bring back Doke just like Baylor brought in a pro?

I have a good feeling about next years roster. Bill Self is about to put together a roster of talented, coachable players who will gel as a group. Just wait and see

Love for that to be true, but what is that good feeling based on? Hasn't been the case for the past 3-4 years. It is trending as if we will spending a big chunk on Stokes (perhaps with coachability issues?). Are top portal transfers willing to take less, maybe much less, and play second fiddle to a freshman. Didn't work this year, and is Stokes better than Peterson?
Maybe we don't go that route, but we would need a full roster of P5 level starters - not mid-tier non P5 guys as in the past couple of years.
Don't know how Michigan was able to do it - maybe they just have a much bigger NIL budget - but supposedly Lendeborg took a lot less than UK offered to play for May. Why is that?
