We have no money left.
He's considering only UK, Louisville & Arizona. Sounds like the first two are probably considering the leaders. Zona is trying now that they have Koa Peat's cash to throw in

RE: Roll Call
In the thick of Baseball season currently with my son and he’s having an excellent season so far. Coaching one of his two teams for the first time after being a helper off and on at times over the past few years. His other team is a travel team so we are on the road a lot and both leagues are ongoing at the same time so lots of fun managing the logistics. My son is also a pitcher and a good one at that so I’m constantly juggling how much rest his arm needs. Overall though it’s a fun journey to be involved with as a parent now.
Also in the middle of several home projects, flooring in our downstairs, new roof and some kitchen upgrades.
Took the boy to a Redsox/ Yankee game in Fenway. Had never been and it’s iconic so that was a great bday gift and glad we did it. Won’t be our last
I’m hopeful others will share their story whether positive or negative

Parker had 53 pts in a game this year. Played 2 years at NC State prior. I like this addition.

RE: KU ROSTER 2026-27
KU still involved with Bashir.
Miller is not an option anymore.

RE: KU ROSTER 2026-27
It sounds like there's some money left. It sounds like another big and guard is what they are looking for and then it's cheap practice guys

RE: KU ROSTER 2026-27
Miller is the better option of the two but also not a real needle mover either. His numbers were not good against P4/Big-12 competition. We do need someone in his realm though, an experienced guard that can play a decent role

RE: KU ROSTER 2026-27
Agree he's not an ideal option. Doesn't sound like there was much there other than the zoom as NC St also involved now. They can have em

RE: KU ROSTER 2026-27
Yeah I can certainly understand the #1 player being projected for big #'s as history says it's a good bet they will be really good. Hopefully he's worth it and produces at a high level.

Abdi Bashir has a zoom call setup with KU. Former purple cat, was injured a majority of Big-12 play.

RE: KU ROSTER 2026-27
How much of this top 15 analytics is driven by the freshman? Is it heavily slanted to Stokes and Kinney? The other 3 freshman are unlikely to play much and for good reason so if they are helping the numbers that's tough to take without a grain of salt.
Kinney is a major question mark having such a big role as a freshman. I know he's highly rated and he's very talented and hopefully will be the goods but there's also a good chance there's some real growing pains with him too.
I just think any analytics trying to incorporate freshman who have no data to include is misleading. There's no question this roster isn't as good as most in the Self Era. We only have 5 guys who've even played a college game right now. I sure hope the analytics are right..

I hope it works out. That recruitment was a circus.
Let's finish this roster out now!

RE: KU ROSTER 2026-27
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.

RE: KU ROSTER 2026-27
At least this saga ends today as far as destination goes. All the positivity I have on this situation. Sigh

RE: KU ROSTER 2026-27
It also sounds like there is only enough $ for a Miller type + Stokes. The rest will have to be filled with PWO types. Yikes
Grant Mordini is one of those. Visits Monday

RE: KU ROSTER 2026-27
I don't like the fit and the cost to get him is a huge risk among other things

RE: KU ROSTER 2026-27
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

He is no star, far from it -

Sounding like a deal for Christian Reeves is close to done
