I believe the AP Top 25 poll will be out this Monday.


Here’s one for the conference that seems decent…

Not even ranked in the AP? Damn… such disrespect… I would think at least in the top 25 like 22/25 range

After losing Bennett, Tavion, and Alvaro, I'm not surprised. Especially Bennett, who was terrific in the clutch. Let's show 'em!

Notice that kansas picked up kauffman- ren from Purdue.
He is fighting for a 6th season claiming that he would not have red- shirted in 2021-22 if the 5 to play 5 had been in place 5 years ago.....thin gruel but found a court to give an injunction.he joins 2 other players at ku who are in court to gain additional eligibility.
Ku also has the #1 recruit,stokes, on their roster.ku is ranked #17 in ap poll.

Self is not worried about bringing in mercenaries over existing team members right up to tip-off, unlike Ben McCollum, I guess.

We lost our Top 3 scorers, with one of them being an AA and 1st round NBA pick. Ben needs a few more years under his belt before he gets the benefit of the doubt from pollsters following a large roster loss like that.

Was Alvaro really one of the Top 3 scorers on the team last season?

Surprising, if so.

Loved what he did vs FLA and NEB in March, but the only consistent thing about that guy last season was his inconsistency.

Agreed on the consistency factor!

But yes, he was the #3 scorer on the team.

He also had some lazy moments.
