Hell of a dub. We might right the ship after all

The Slant had a good podcast today. Kirby was saying they’ve already done 400+ evals, lined up 20-30 visits, and could get 10+ commits over the next 10 days. And that overall the talent level will be better. I’m not sure I buy that but if it comes to fruition it’ll be a fun couple weeks.

Man it hurts to see Marko has broken up as he was after the game. Say what you want about his game, but he really, really cares and loves being a Jayhawk.

Merry Christmas all!

Always a good day to beat down the slavers. DP did what he was supposed to. The supporting cast really showed out. Mari continues to impress me.

We’re so much better with Melvin as PG. DP is obviously great but we tend to stagnate when he’s primarily on the ball.

Should be up 30. Have to keep up the intensity because you know they’ll make a run. They’re too good not to.

Got heeeem

We’re on the board! Really good get, 3x2 and has a lot of upside. https://x.com/mswain247/status/1995694601399927219?s=46

@drgnslayr that’s a good observation about the 2 buckets of NIL: private and RevShare. KU uses about 1/3 of its RevShare budget for basketball, which is about as large as you’ll find. Each school has a hard RevShare cap of like $21.3m in the 26-27 year. So we’ll spend probably a bit over $7m on basketball RevShare. Football takes the lion’s share just because of roster numbers. Other sports take whatever is left.

Private NIL (I’ve also seen it referred to as “pure NIL” since it’s ostensibly for actual NIL use) is unlimited but (allegedly) each deal has to be cleared with the NILGo clearinghouse run by Deloitte. Schools that are spending insane amounts are basically daring Deloitte and the NCAA to void these deals since they’re clearly far above fair market value as they define it.

For big money rosters, you’ll see the latter outnumber the former by 3:1 or even 4:1. We compete fine in terms of RevShare but we don’t have the donor base to compete with the biggest spenders, especially given all the other expenses in the AD and revenue disadvantage from being in a second tier league.

@crimsonblu22 oh yeah there’s not a bad seat in the place. It’s really small and fan friendly

I’m excited. There’s more talent (by a good amount) on defense and Andy being back is awesome. Going to be a very interesting fall camp.

@nuleafjhawk exactly 50% over whatever you think they should be

@crimsonblu22 yep. I went for a bit, it was pretty low key.

@stoptheflop yeah they had the normal amount of spring practices and an open practice in lieu of a game.

@BShark said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

@Kcmatt7 I think there is a very real chance if they get someone decent that Kinney ends up the primary back-up at the 1 and 2.

Bark bark. For real though, Council would be a really nice guard for this team and provide some needed leadership in the locker room

Gosh I hope not

Got heeeem
