2025-26 Roster Chatter (UPDATE: Oweh Returns, Roster Complete)

[GOCAT15]

Am I the only one who wishes we could of had another year of a healthy Butler?

He showed flashes but was just never the same after the injury.

And a healthy Robinson for an entire season, and Carr at 100%, oh what could've been, seems like we've said that a lot lately.

Like Will mentioned earlier, it really does seem that we have been hit with the injury bug more than any other team for a good stretch now.

Agreed. Gonzaga and Duke showed us flashes of what could have been..

Two names from the portal past:

Chad Baker-Mazara committed to USC today.

And Andrej Stojakovic committed to Illinois.

Illinois is going to be very good next season even though they lost a bunch. They're assembling what looks to be a team built almost completely around European players.

[Joneslab]

The new guys.

[KCKUKFan]

The new guys.

Left to right: Kam Williams, Jaland Lowe, Denzel Aberdeen, Mouhamed Dioubate.

Missing new roster additions: Jayden Quaintance, Andrija Jelavic, Jasper Johnson, Malachi Moreno.

[DA#23]

Didn’t realize it, but KSR states that Lowe still has his name in the draft.

I’m sure that he will withdraw, but still something to watch for in addition to Oweh withdrawing

[Joneslab]

Kentucky still trying to fill its roster, as it has contacted Miami back-up point guard Divine Ugochukwu. Amazing name, terrible shooter, would likely be the last man off the bench.

[Joneslab]

One upside to the portal: it has alleviated some of the straight-to-the-NBA stuff.

A record low 106 players declared for the draft. In 2021 that number was 363.

[DA#23]

NCAA out G-Leagued the NBA

[Catsrock]

^^^ only after being forced to. Could have done so years ago.

[Joneslab]

Acaden Lewis commits to Villanova.

[Pobilly]

Do you think Pope goes International to fill out the spot or two for redshirt/practice players or will he just grab the first one or two to say yes.

[Joneslab]

Otega Oweh invited to the NBA Combine.

[Catsrock]

So 75 in invitees for 60 slots. Never know.

[Bluesong]

Can’t he make more money at UK than a late, second round draft pick? If it came to that.
