Peterson is #1, Bidunga #57.

I figure Peterson is OAD. (I know, "Well, duh!", right?)

I also figure that if Flory doesn't move up in that projection over the course of AY2025-26 he just might be around for AY2026-27.

I'm really liking what Self & Co have put together for the coming year.
• 13 of 14 possible "Counters" so far, 10 of them new to KU (I'm including Tiller in that # as he has never played yet for KU)
• 6 of those 10 listed as freshmen, but 3 of those "freshmen" with significant other experience beyond high school
• 3 of those 10 new counters are upperclassmen transfers with significant D1 experience
• The guys Self & Co have gone after this time all showing a lot of talent, but perhaps more importantly some "dog" in their games... i.e., they fit with how Self likes to play better than the guys from the last two seasons.
• With all that there is still one scholarship|roster spot (one "counter") open for AY2025-26.

Hmm...

I think I'm ready for some KU hoops!
I think this group can make a Big 12 title run and an NCAA title run.

But first... man, I'm really hoping for good things on the gridiron for KU this fall!
Leipold has filled just about every need he wanted to fill for next season.
Jim Zebrowski and Matt Lubick are the new co-offensive coordinators (so glad Grimes is gone!).
One last hurrah for QB Jalon Daniels, here's hoping he shines once again in his final campaign!

ROCK CHALK!
