What's Happening?
Kansas basketball coach Bill Self is contemplating redshirting decisions for the upcoming season. With exhibition games against Louisville and Fort Hays State approaching, Self has not yet decided on redshirting any
players. Freshman guard Corbin Allen is a potential candidate due to the competitive roster mix. Self expressed a desire for more flexibility in evaluating players before making redshirting decisions, similar to football's rules. The team is built to compete in the present, featuring a mix of experienced transfers and promising newcomers.
Why It's Important?
Redshirting decisions can significantly impact player development and team dynamics. By potentially redshirting players, Self can preserve eligibility and strategically build the team's future. The decision-making process reflects the challenges coaches face in balancing immediate competitiveness with long-term planning. Kansas's roster depth and talent could position them as strong contenders in the Big 12 Conference.
What's Next?
Kansas will play exhibition games against Louisville and Fort Hays State before the regular season opener against Green Bay. These games will provide an opportunity for Self to assess player readiness and make informed redshirting decisions.
