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.

@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.

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.

@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.

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

Takes my joy about next years team down significantly.

I’m personally tired of lead guards who can’t shoot. I don’t know where Coach developed this fetish but I’m tired of it.

He’s trying according to Vernon.

Melvin might be coming back. Not a fan of it but I know he has a lot of fans so yeah.

@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.

Give him the 2 year deal. Sophomore year he could be a monster.

I fear that he will transfer after year one in the current climate but would love to be wrong because the talent is absolutely there.

Exactly why I’d push for the two year deal like Louisville did with that center.

Give him the 2 year deal. Sophomore year he could be a monster.

@FarmerJayhawk said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

@TYOHawk I’m led to believe role is a potential holdup

Could be but I saw the kid’s parent with KT, Vaughn and Tyran today.

Don’t think we’re done just yet..

anybody worth more than a bench spot?

He’ll be far more talented than most guys who we offer the 15th scholarship too.
