Dan, let's get right into this.

Of course, we're going to talk football.

We're going to talk late night, but...

The big news that came out earlier today as we were sitting here in our beautiful studio, Trey Kaufman-Wren, the former Purdue big man, is transferring to Kansas.

This is a guy who is a first-team All-Big Ten performer.

KU Hoops kind of You know, I wouldn't say out of nowhere, but there wasn't a lot of murmurings until the last like 24 hours or so that perhaps TKR was still on the table.

He's a six foot nine big man who is an offensive threat.

I mean, by all means, this is a great get for Kansas adding TKR.

And then also should point out that the AP preseason poll came out earlier today as well.

KU ranked number 17, thinking that was probably before the TKR.

I would imagine it is.

This is a guy, Dan, who certainly moves the needle, you would think.

Yeah, it certainly does.

And, you know, there's a lot of things, obviously, that's going on with this.

And with TKR, I mean, this is something that, you know, felt kind of hot and heavy moving forward, what, three weeks ago, four weeks ago, maybe three weeks ago, where you go, man, Ken's going to get TKR.

All of a sudden, you get Melvin Counts Jr. back, and you go, okay.

That's all the roster spots.

There's no possible way, which is so funny to me.

It is hilarious because Henry came on the show and was like, there's no possible loophole as to which Kansas can get all three.

Kansas gets all three because of an injury to Grant Mordini.

So Grant Mordini out for the season and I guess is no longer taking up a roster spot.

So that right there is just a weird thing where You know, it kind of worked out for Kansas.

Obviously, you know, we like great more Dini.

He's a good kid, but it just worked out to where Kansas goes.

Okay, I guess we have another roster spot.
