I’ll be rooting for him. He could’ve quit on his team like Mikel Brown and Jayden Quaintance but he didn’t.

Finished a game while obviously hurt. Ice up..proud of you DP

Great talent I’ll miss him.

Only two guys should feel confident they start and that’s Keanu and Tyran. Everyone else spot is up for grabs.

I’d listen to Farmer..

There is a few people on the site I don’t entertain most of what they post. @farmerjayhawk is the opposite, what he posts is usually very accurate info and I believe him to be one of the most intelligent persons on here.

I’d trust Farmer and Shark’s info every time.

@benshawks08 said in Darryn Peterson:

@TYOHawk But did he get through it? I'm not trying to be a hater, but I just have never seen this level of kid gloves applied by Bill Self before. He couldn't play for UConn because he was only at 90-95%? So he must have been 100% for this one? But later we found out there was a minute restriction? I feel like I saw DP ask to be taken out after in the first half maybe even rejecting a sub. It just feels like Bill Self is working very hard to spin the fact that DP is yet to play a full game of basketball. I understand that is Bill's job and I'm all for him taking as much heat off of the 18 year old as he can, I've just never seen him do it to this level before and it makes me feel weird. Lol.

Really hoping this is all somewhat Remy coded and come March we will see this team actually peak and make some noise. I'd just love to beat a few of the really good teams in the big 12 along the way.

I mean he seems to be okay. He was fighting a bug/illness that’s ran through the team lately too. I’m kind of surprised so many people expected him to come back from his first game and just like play 30-35 minutes fresh off a hamstring injury.

Did any hear Hawk talk last week when Hanni asked Coach about recruiting? Coach talked about a shooting drill that a recruit shot the highest score ever! Can’t remember his name though. Anyone?

If it's a current signee it has to be Luke Barnett. That kid has a strap.

It was

Bradley has no business winning POY. He’s not even a top 2 player on his team imo.

@BShark said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

@tyohawk I will say I agree with what you said elsewhere. I am not really a Kohl believer at all so more bodies for this spot is good and I could see him being ahead of Kohl.

It doesn’t mean he’s in the circle of trust but I vividly remember Bossi saying he’s more talented than Kohl.

@TYOHawk said in 2026 Recruiting:

Would prefer Branch personally. But seems like the staff is going to wait for Stokes first.

Talent wise I get it, and if Bill does stick around another year Stokes is the kind of guy he loves at the 4...

The high usage Tre White/JWilson role is right there for him. Not to mention playing with his childhood friend at PG.

I could get behind the feeling that Melvin does not raise our ceiling, but to say he lowers it is categorically false. Many many great teams, including some that have won national championships, have started guards who are not good 3-pt shooters.

He is inefficient on offense as a whole. I could live with the 3pt shooting, it’s the 4/17 games with 12 missed floaters.

IMO he has to take a major step forward in shot selection (or shot making).

He’s such a terrible shooter. This season is gonna be miserable watching him if he tries to play like last season.

Y’all fellas got it this year man. I don’t enjoy watching Melvin play basketball and I’m not trying to see Leroy and Tyran’s game altered like Darryn’s to make Melvin useful.

@BShark said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

@TYOHawk The rules are all made up now. That said, I think Mel's case is very thin.

I’ll also say I prefer adding TKR over Melvin as well but I know how Coach feels about Melvin.

We can’t get both I believe we only have 1 scholarship open.

@FarmerJayhawk said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

Chatter is picking up on the Trey Kauffman-Renn front

Would be perfect

Love to see Tre returning. Think he’s gonna help Tyran a lot and it scales Keanu down a bit which is perfect.

Not a big fan of how things are being done personally but it is what it is.

@crimsonblu22 said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

@TYOHawk what’s an exhibit 10 contract and wouldn’t that be more attractive than coming back to a crowded roster here? I don’t know what either team could offer.

It’s a one year, non guaranteed deal. Only worth $120,000, plus potential bonus?

So, coming back to college could at least be worth more $$$$.

(Sorry to answer for @tyohawk )

Nah you’re right on the money..I appreciate it. For guys like Seth Trimble, Jaxon Kohler and Tre…they would make more money in college.

@BeddieKU23 said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

White is in play to return due to the injunction. Very interesting development.

Much bigger fan of him returning than Melvin

Hope we see some traction soon on getting guys
