HUGE: NCAA CHAOS unfolds as Trey Kaufman-Renn JOINS Kansas Jayhawks! Can Bill Self manage the drama?

But the first thing we gotta get to is Trey Kaufman-Wren not only has all these TROs and injunctions-

[laughs]

...

but he's going to Lawrence, Kansas.

Oh, my word, Andy Patton, that's where we gotta start today.

The news broke on Monday, kinda around lunchtime, maybe a little before that, that Trey Kaufman-Wren, the former Purdue Boilermaker, who we've talked about previously on this show, not even a class of 2022 guy, received a TRO, an injunction, is at least for now good to go.

And so Andy, he signs with the Kansas Jayhawks, who also recently got back Trey White and Melvin Council Jr.

Bill Self, has he backed his way into the Big 12's best roster? Where are you at?

Uh, yeah, if everybody's eligible.

I mean, I think that's the biggest question mark here.

And I think for, for Kansas, if these guys aren't eligible, it's, you know, it's possible that that means that Iowa State doesn't have Lipsey or Texas Tech doesn't have Williams and some of their guys.

So Kansas is gonna have one of the more talented rosters regardless with Stokes and Kinney and Daws and, and everybody.

But, uh, yeah, this is an incredible trio of potential additions here.

And with the, the Kaufman-Wren of it all, I mean, it's, it's...

As somebody who has been very much on the just let the class of 2022s play, it's crazy the NCAA is, you know, pos- potentially setting up a, a reality where certain guys are eligible, certain guys aren't.

Like, I've been on that train for a long time.

But one of the anti-arguments people say, "Well, you think this is gonna just stop with 2022? No, guys from other classes are gonna start trying to get more eligibility." And I hoped that wouldn't be the case, and Trey Kaufman-Wren has proven that wrong.

I mean, this is a dude who played 35 or more games in four straight seasons.

Like, he redshirted as a freshman in '21, '22, then he played 35 games, then it was like 36, 37, 38, like whatever it was, like for four straight years.

So he's been in college for five years, so he's not eligible within the five and five.

He has played four full seasons.

Uh, like it's just a situation that doesn't really make a lot of sense.

His argument, uh, that worked in a court of law was essentially, "I wouldn't have redshirted if I'd known that I wouldn't be able to get that year back, so I should be able to play a fifth year." Uh, and that, again, it worked, and we'll see if it works in the higher courts.

It probably will not.

I, I mean, I think the, th- this is a unique situation, so we can't look at precedent, you know, with a ton of conviction.
