Melvin Council Jr. - Back to Kansas Council is going back to Kansas, according to the team's announcement Sunday.

Impact As a senior for Kansas last season, Council was arguably KU's most versatile player. He averaged 12.7 points, 5.1 assists and 5.0 rebounds across his 35 games for the 2025-26 Jayhawks. Council, who transferred from St. Bonaventure to Kansas, won last season's Big 12 Newcomer of the Year Award, so he enters this campaign as an even scarier option now that his skill set has been demonstrated to the masses. As long as Council's availability is not an issue, he will be a top option in college basketball next season.

Last season, he averaged 12.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.1 assists for the Jayhawks.

Christian Reeves - Still weeks away from getting cleared Reeves (shoulder) remains several weeks away from getting fully cleared, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
