NOTES
[1] #36 in Rivals150 for 2016. Will be eligible to play for KU after the end of the Fall 2017 semester, and 
through AY2020-21 if he decides to stay in school all 5 years to play 4. "Signed" date will be when he is 
officially enrolled.
[2]#33 in Rivals150 for 2015. Will sit out 2017-18, will have 2 years to play 2. Originally moved up a year 
to the 2015 recruiting class so he could play with his older brother KJ.
[3]#54 in Rivals150 for 2015. Will sit out 2017-18, will have 2 years to play 2, may get 3 for 3 if NCAA 
approves a 6th year due to medical redshirting his freshman year (was hurt in 10th game of the season).
[4] #55 in Rivals150 for 2016. Reportedly is applying for hardship transfer status so he can play this 
fall (transferring to be closer to ill father), but getting it seems unlikely as it is questionable that 
Lawrence is close enough to Chicago for this to be approved. 
Assuming it is NOT granted, he will have 3 years to play 3 at KU.
[5] Younger brother of Connor Teahan. Rated as the 92nd best player in Missouri according to MaxPreps. 
[6] A graduate transfer starter for W&M (immediately eligible for Fall 2017). Unranked by any of the services 
out of HS (rated *** by Scout, ** by ESPN, unrated by Rivals and 247Sports). Averaging 22 minutes a game 
(W&M was grooming his freshman replacement last year, otherwise he might has seen more minutes), his 
2016-17 stats were 10.1 PPG, 5..4 RPG, 1.2 APG, 1.1 BPG, 1.5 TPG and 2.8 FPG.

C     8/*****	Mitchell Robinson 7-0/220   Chalmette, LA/Chalmette/WKU		HIGH
NB: A Rivals 2017 Top 10 recruit, Robinson originally committed to WKU because his godfather was an 
assistant there.
His godfather left before WKU's 2017 summer session began.
Robinson started attending 2017 summer classes, but word is he never practiced or did anything with the 
team as he was considering transferring since his godfather had left.
If all the requirements have been met (and it looks like they have been), he should be able to play with 
a new school right away in accordance with the transfer rules outlined in the following sections of the 
NCAA Division I rules for 2017-18:
14.5.5.2 Exceptions for Transfers From Four-Year Colleges 
Subsection 14.5.5.2.7 Two-Year Nonparticipation or Minimal Participation Exception. 
See my 2017-08-12 post on this for more details. - HE.

Other Transfer Notes
~  will have 3 years to play 2, play immediately 
^ will have 3 years to play 2 after sitting out a year
+ will have 2 years to play 2 after sitting out a year
