Melvin Council Jr. - Needs surgery on broken foot Council broke his right foot and will undergo surgery, per The Field of 68.

Impact Kansas is reportedly hopeful the senior guard can return for the start of conference play in early January. Nonetheless, this is a big loss as the Jayhawks are now down their starting two guard for the foreseeable future. Through two games, Council was averaging 8.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.5 steals. This should mean more playing time for Leroy Blyden.

Tre White - Leads Jayhawks with 22 points White produced 22 points (9-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 95-65 victory over Fordham.

Impact White's fifth and final collegiate season got started on the right foot as he led Kansas with 22 points, a mark he topped on five different occasions last season. This marks the first time that White, who averaged career highs with 13.5 points and 6.7 rebounds across 31.3 minutes last year, will be playing for the same school in two-consecutive seasons. However, considering the Jayhawks' roster makeover, including the late addition of Trey Kaufman-Renn, it would not be surprising to see White's statistical production take a bit of a hit this season.

Trey Kaufman-Renn - Modest showing in KU debut Kaufman-Renn chipped in nine points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 23 minutes during Monday's 95-65 win over Fordham.

Impact While Kaufman-Renn didn't start in the opener, likely due to conditioning concerns previously expressed by coach Bill Self, the fifth-year senior was still able to leave his mark on the box score in a lopsided Kansas victory. Look for TKR to expand his role through non-conference play, starting with a Friday matchup against MTSU.

Kohl Rosario - Remains in concussion protocol Rosario (concussion) has yet to be cleared to resume basketball activities, Matt Tait of R1S1 reports.

Impact Rosario remains in concussion protocol as the Jayhawks' look towards their second game of the 2026-27 season against MTSU this Friday. The 6-foot-6 sophomore appears unlikely to appear against the Blue Raiders, but his status will continue to be monitored.

Kohl Rosario - Inactive for opener Rosario (concussion) will not appear in Monday's game against Fordham, Gary Bedore of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Rosario, who sustained a concussion in late October, will sit out during the Jayhawks' season opener against Fordham. The 6-foot-6 sophomore, who averaged 3.4 points and 1.3 rebounds on 11.5 minutes per game with KU last season (29 games), will have his next opportunity to suit up Friday against MTSU.

Trey Kaufman-Renn - Playing in season opener Raufman-Renn (ankle) is available for the season opener against Fordham on Monday, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Having Raufman-Renn is a huge boost for Kansas, as he's expected to be one of the team's go-to presences on both ends of the court. The senior forward transferred from Purdue in the offseason, where he averaged 14.2 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game across 37 starts.

10 Most Historic Venues To Host A Men's College Basketball Ahead Of Rome Opener

Kohl Rosario - Hopeful for season opener Rosario (concussion) is considered hopeful to play in Kansas' season opener next week, though coach Bill Self said Wednesday that he won't announce anything yet, Matt Tait of R1S1...

Impact Rosario appears to be trending toward availability after previously being expected out until midweek. Self's comments stop short of a firm clearance, so his status is still worth monitoring ahead of the opener.

Trey Kaufman-Renn - Ankle should be fine, conditioning a concern Kaufman-Renn turned his ankle in practice but head coach Bill Self expects him to be fine, although he mentioned that he's more concerned with his conditioning, per Shay Wildeboor...

Impact Kaufman-Renn wasn't on a collegiate roster all summer, so it's somewhat unsurprising that, as Self put it, "his conditioning isn't great." Still, it's good that his ankle isn't a major concern for the Jayhawks, but he remains inactive this preseason as Kansas tries to get him up to speed physically. He'll look to be a full go for the opener against Fordham on Nov. 2.

Kohl Rosario - Dealing with concussion Head coach Bill Self revealed in a press conference Sunday that Rosario (concussion) got stitches in his mouth and was concussed and is expected to be out until 'midweek', per Andr...

Impact Rosario took a hit during practice last week and did not play during Sunday's exhibition matchup against Duke as a result. The 6-foot-6 sophomore averaged 3.4 points in 11.5 minutes per game for the Jayhawks a year ago. He will hope to make himself available for the start of the 2026-27 season when the Jayhawks face Fordham on November 2.

OCTOBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Trey Kaufman-Renn - Out for exhibition game Kaufman-Renn (not injury related) is out for Sunday's exhibition game against Duke, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Sunday would have been an opportune time for Kaufman-Renn not only to acclimate back to college basketball but also to determine his role for Kansas. However, the senior's eligibility remains on shaky ground, and its instability appears likely to continue heading into KU's regular-season opener Nov. 2 against Fordham. Obviously, the Jayhawks would love to have Kaufman-Renn available to complete their team, with his proven scoring and rebounding potentially giving them an elite forward.

Trey Kaufman-Renn - Will not play Wednesday Kaufman-Renn will not play in Wednesday's exhibition against Louisville, Jordan Guskey of The Topeka Capital-Journal reports.

Impact The absence of Kaufman-Renn means Kansas will be without one of their top forwards. At this point, it also remains to be seen whether the star forward will suit up against Duke on Sunday in their final exhibition before the start of the regular season.

Kansas Lands Former Purdue Star Trey Kaufman-Renn On Eve of 2026-2027 Season

Trey Kaufman-Renn - Signs with Kansas Kaufman-Renn has signed with Kansas, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Although the details of Kaufman-Renn's eligibility remain shaky, the possibility of him logging another year inspired him to pursue it. He was one of college basketball's best players in each of his last two seasons for Purdue. As a junior, Kaufman-Renn averaged 20.1 points and 6.5 rebounds across 36 games with the Boilermakers. During the 6-foot-9 forward's senior season, despite diminished scoring, he averaged 14.2 points and increased his rebound rate by logging 8.3 rebounds per game. Kaufman-Renn could make an already formidable Kansas arguably the strongest team in the country, but it will boil down to how much KU can maximize his availability. Before the 2026-27 Jayhawks begin their regular season, they host exhibition games against Louisville (Oct. 21) and Duke (Oct. 25), matchups that should better indicate whether he can play and what to expect from him.
