Next Up – Kansas In The Champions Classic
It’s almost time for the Championship Classic, the annual event featuring Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and Michigan State, and this year the Blue Devils will see the Jayhawks in Madison Square Garden.
There is an immediate question about this game because star freshman Darryn Peterson may not be able to go for the Jayhawks due to a hamstring issue. He played at UNC but sat out the games against Texas A&M Corpus-Christi and Princeton.
Peterson is a much-admired talent who has been compared to Kobe Bryant, at least talent wise. We can’t know how good he is yet compared to Kobe because what set Bryant apart most was his relentless work ethic, but Peterson has a shot at being great.
As we’ve learned over the years, Bill Self typically is a great coach who gets his teams to work together as well as any coach in the business. So what’s he got this year?
Aside from Peterson, KU poses an interesting challenge for Duke because big man Flory Bidunga (6-10/235) is highly athletic and will be a significant challenge for Cameron Boozer inside. Bidunga leads Kansas in several categories – he’s putting up 17 ppg, getting 7.8 rpg and 2.5 blocks.
You may remember the name Tre White from his brief Louisville sojourn during Kenny Payne’s disastrous tenure. He left there for Illinois and now he’s starting for the Jayhawks. He’s a solid athlete and Bill Self will know how to use him as a defender.
Bryson Tiller, a 6-11/240 lb. redshirt freshman, started against Princeton. He’s getting 9 ppg and 5 boards. He could be a problem on defense at a minimum.
Melvin Council, a 6-4 senior transfer from St. Bonnie’s, has taken over the point guard duties after Dajuan Harris graduated. Like Harris, he’s not a great three point shooter. In fact, he’s shooting .000 from behind the line so far.
In fairness to Council, he’s only taken 9 threes so far and you may remember that a few years ago, Wendell Moore had a terrible slump. What was the lesson we learned there?
Eventually you return to your norm, and for Council, while he’s never been a great three point shooter, he’s not this bad. Don’t be surprised if he gets back on track on Tuesday and also don’t be surprised if his cold streak reverses abruptly and emphatically. He’s due.
The fifth starter, at least while Peterson is out, is Kohl Rosario. You may remember last year he blew up in a big way quite late and a brief recruiting battle ensued with Duke, Baylor, BYU, Miami, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Villanova, among others, which Kansas ultimately won. He’s really gifted. Either Rosario or Tiller will go back to the bench when Peterson is back, whenever that is.
Elmarko Jackson (6-3 sophomore) missed all of last season with an injury. He was a major recruit in high school who is getting back on top of things now.
The rest of the primary rotation is 6-5 senior Jaden Dawson and Jamari McDowell, a 6-5 sophomore.
You may also remember the name Paul Mbiya – he originally signed with NC State and Will Wade. He’s not very polished but he could still be helpful on defense and as a rebounder.
If Peterson is still out on Tuesday, Kansas’ offense could have real problems. Peterson is a dynamic, creative scorer but the other players, so far anyway, lack that knack.
Take Bidunga, for instance. He’s immensely talented but hasn’t fully mastered the subtleties of the game. It’s not surprising – he grew up in the Congo and has only played top flight competition for a couple of years. His upside is huge, but at the moment, he’s still kind of hit and miss.
Rosario is another guy who could go off. He is highly talented but is a freshman and most freshmen take some time to settle in.
Self is a brilliant coach, but with his current roster, he has issues with spacing due to poor three point shooting (presuming Peterson is out) and at times, notably at UNC in the second half, his offense has been stagnant. That’s partly on Council, who has been erratic as point guard, but it’s a real problem for Kansas while Peterson is out.
Another change for Kansas: the Jayhawks typically have a tall roster. They do have three big guys with Mbiya (7-0/245), Tiller (6-11/240) and Bidunga (6-10/235), but none are fully proven in college yet. Bidunga, as noted, is putting up great stats but most of that comes against Green Bay, AMCC and Princeton. When Kansas played UNC and their massive front line, Bidunga shot 4-9 and had just 8 points. It’s interesting to speculate how he’ll do against Brown, who is a superb defender. Bidunga is a better athlete, but you spend seconds in the air and vastly more time on the ground, where Brown will probably have an advantage.
Worth noting: in the three games other than UNC, Bidunga got three fouls in each. Against AMCC, he got those three in 19 minutes.
So Kansas may have some issues. Does that mean Duke is a shoo-in?
For one thing, Self is a gifted coach who has proven that he can adapt. He has some real talent, as he usually does, and just because Kansas has struggled offensively in the half court doesn’t mean they have to continue the same tactics.
And of course Duke is, as usual, quite young.
The Blue Devils rely heavily on four freshmen and three sophomores, a junior and a senior. Jon Scheyer has turned out to be a solid strategist and motivator. Cameron Boozer is one of the most skilled players we’ve seen in a long time. You might say, wait DBR…how about Cooper Flagg? And Kon Knueppel?
And that’s a fair point. But Boozer’s fundamentals may be better. He’s unusually sound in a way that reminds people of Tim Duncan. He’s probably not as physically talented as Flagg, but he’s unbelievably smart. He seems to have mastered almost all elements of offense and his defense is pretty good too (though Flagg’s is far better). However, based on what we’ve seen so far, we’re not sure any player in college has a better outlet pass than Boozer. He just has a remarkable grip on the game for a freshman. We haven’t mentioned his brother Cayden, but he’s really coming along nicely.
Duke’s three big men – Patrick Ngongba and Maliq Brown – are all gifted passers. Add the three point shooting provided by Isaiah Evans, Dame Sarr, Darren Harris, Caleb Foster, Nik Khamenia and Boozer too – and that makes it tough to stop everything Duke tries.
However, we can think of two things Kansas could do that would challenge what Duke has done so far.
First, just press like John Wooden or Rick Pitino, try to turn Duke over. The less time you spend in the half-court, the less issues you have with a struggling offense.
And second, the press aside, just shift the focus to the defensive side. IF Kansas’s offensive struggles are real as some Kansas fans seem to think, then make Duke’s just as real.
This has worked before; winning ugly is a thing.
Before John Thompson had elite talent, Georgetown stayed in games by defending like hell to do it. At Virginia, Tony Bennett forced opponents to a crawl and as a result, was in most every game at the end. Shaka Smart has at times relied extensively on his defense for offense.
It doesn’t really seem like the type of basketball we’ve seen from Self over the years, but he’s shown he can adapt.
That’s all predicated on the notion that KU’s offense has struggled and that the Jayhawks may not have Peterson. But this is a big-time game and Kansas is a proud program. This is our sincere expectation: whatever issues his team is having, Self will have his guys ready to play and the magic of the Garden will help. The Jayhawks will play like the proud program they are, and it will be a difficult game for either team to win.

For the 22nd consecutive season, the ZiPS projection system is unleashing a full set of prognostications. For more information on the ZiPS projections, please consult this year’s introduction, as well as MLB’s glossary entry. The team order is selected by lot, and the next team up is the Kansas City Royals.
Batters
For the Royals, 2025 was about the season that was expected. Bobby Witt Jr. was amazing and the starting rotation was very good, but the team was held back as a result of getting pretty much no production out of the second base, outfield, and designated hitter positions. ZiPS projected the Royals for 83 wins, and they won 82. Normally, that would make a team a real contender in the AL Central, but the Tigers played like an elite team in the first half and the Guardians did the same in the second half, leaving the division always too far out of reach for the Royals.
While Kansas City had some serious problems, especially in those trouble spots mentioned above, it was generally encouraging how the team dealt with it. I stand by every word I said about the outfield back in February. The idea to just roll with Hunter Renfroe and MJ Melendez after their terrible 2024 seasons was a massive missed opportunity. But the good thing is that the Royals were quick to jettison both and get looks at other players who showed a lot of promise (Jac Caglianone) or at least had some upside (Drew Waters). Now, these moves didn’t actually pan out in the short term, but it’s always better to try something that might work over something that almost definitely won’t.
ZiPS doesn’t really like the outfield this time around either, but it does think that there are enough defense and platoon advantages in the various players slated to man the grass that the Royals could eke out respectable production from the group, certainly quite a lot more than they got last year. And this is important, because every win for a team with a projected total in the low-to-mid-80s, especially a team in a Central division, has tremendous value. Even better would be a much bigger acquisition to boost at least one of the positions, but failing that, ZiPS doesn’t see either left or right field as unmitigated disasters this time around (though Steamer is less optimistic).
Witt Jr. is the straw that stirs the drink, of course, but beyond that, this was the season I think Maikel Garcia clearly established himself as an All-Star level third baseman. He finally turned that good plate discipline and hard-hit numbers into real production, and he’s Gold Glove-worthy at the hot corner. Expect both players on the left side of the infield to keep things up in 2026. Another positive: The Royals could see some improvement at second base. ZiPS thinks that Michael Massey is better than his 2025 performance indicates. My inclination might be to use Massey as a super-sub type, and just stick Jonathan India at second and leave him there; there’s no reason to pretend India’s a corner outfielder, as the team did at times this past season.
I was a big advocate for the Royals’ being aggressive with Caglianone’s promotion, and I still think it was the right thing to do. It remains to be seen if he can contribute defensively anywhere, but he ought to hit better than he did in his debut campaign; it’s hard to imagine he could do worse than his horrifying 46 wRC+. The problem is the Royals can’t afford to just stick Cags at DH every day. They need to leave that open for Salvador Perez to get spot starts when he’s not wearing a glove in some sort of timeshare with Carter Jensen behind the plate and Vinnie Pasquantino at first. You shouldn’t be alarmed by the top comp for Caglianone. Costen Shockley didn’t hit for the Angels initially, and after a dispute about whether or not they told him they weren’t going to demote him, they sent him to the minors; in response, after having just moved his family out to California, he peaced out from baseball at age 23.

And you better not be upset about the Witt top comp. Dickie Thon was absolutely terrific until a Mike Torrez fastball shattered his face; he was never the same after that. Don’t worry, ZiPS isn’t forecasting Witt to suffer the same fate!
Pitchers
In the projection table, the rotation tops out at 2.2 WAR, from Cole Ragans. However, this understates the quality of this group of starters, as ZiPS is understandably squeamish about projecting big innings totals from Ragans and Kris Bubic. A full season for Ragans would put his WAR safely over three. The same is true for Bubic, though rotator cuff injuries always make me a bit worried.
The rest of the rotation, Seth Lugo, Noah Cameron, and Michael Wacha projects out as comfortably average-plus, and I don’t think it’s a stretch to put Kansas City’s starting staff at the back of the top 10 in baseball. Ryan Bergert and Stephen Kolek won’t scare anyone, but they’re perfectly reasonable emergency replacements, and both Bailey Falter and Daniel Lynch IV are at least plausible options if injuries plague the starting five.
The bullpen projects as a middle-of-the-pack unit at the moment. ZiPS remains a fan of Hunter Harvey, but injuries ruined his 2025 season, and he’s currently a free agent. Otherwise, ZiPS pegs the Royals as having a quintet of B+ relievers in Carlos Estévez, Lucas Erceg, John Schreiber, Angel Zerpa, and Alex Lange, but doesn’t think they have a true lights-out closer. Overall, this pen comes out aggressively mid, and a depth addition or two would be welcome.
Right now, ZiPS projects the Royals to finish with somewhere between 82-86 wins or so, depending on the assumptions. That makes them relevant in the AL Central and a second-tier wild card contender. There’s still time for them to do more to get over the hump.

Players are listed with their most recent teams wherever possible. This includes players who are unsigned or have retired, players who will miss 2026 due to injury, and players who were released in 2025. So yes, if you see Joe Schmoe, who quit baseball back in August to form a Ambient Math-Rock Trip-Hop Yacht Metal band that only performs in abandoned malls, he’s still listed here intentionally. ZiPS is assuming a league with an ERA of 4.16.
Hitters are ranked by zWAR, which is to say, WAR values as calculated by me, Dan Szymborski, whose surname is spelled with a z. WAR values might differ slightly from those that appear in the full release of ZiPS. Finally, I will advise anyone against — and might karate chop anyone guilty of — merely adding up WAR totals on a depth chart to produce projected team WAR. It is important to remember that ZiPS is agnostic about playing time, and has no information about, for example, how quickly a team will call up a prospect or what veteran has fallen into disfavor.
As always, incorrect projections are either caused by misinformation, a non-pragmatic reality, or by the skillful sabotage of our friend and former editor. You can, however, still get mad at me on Twitter or on Bluesky. This last is, however, not an actual requirement.

Elijah Ming’s son is only two — too young to hold many memories of his dad.
Kansas City, Kansas, baseball field renamed to honor fallen deputy Elijah Ming
But he will remember him. Elijah lives on in Deuce — the little one who also carries his father’s name.
KSHB
“He definitely carries a lot of traits that Elijah had,” said Elijah’s wife, Tiara Ming.
KSHB
One of those traits now stands tall on a KCK baseball field. On Thursday, fallen Wyandotte County Deputy Elijah Ming was honored once again as Heathwood Park was renamed Elijah Ming Memorial Field.
“It’ll be here for generations and decades to come,” said KCK Mayor Tyrone Garner.
KSHB
“That’s a sign to our young people in this community that these are the folks we should be looking up to,” said Wyandotte County Sheriff Daniel Soptic.
KSHB
Family, friends, Wyandotte County deputies, and local officials attended the event.
Ming was shot and killed in July as he responded to help a woman who felt threatened while moving out of a home in Kansas City, Kansas.
KSHB
“He was the guy,” said America Patton, Elijah’s mentor. “He had the whole package.”
Elijah’s brothers say there’s no better place for the dedication — they have countless memories there.
KSHB
“To see bro’s name right here… it makes sense,” said Isaiah Ming. “It all started here.”
KSHB
“That was the best years of my life,” said Herman Ming.
But this year was a hard one.
They lost their mom to cancer and their brother to gun violence just days apart.
Moving on is not easy.
“That’s when my whole life changed,” said Isaiah. “Just trying to learn how to get through these rainy days.”
As they cope, they hold on to the dreams that are now becoming reality — even if not in the way they imagined.
“We really dreamed about us having something named after us. We never thought it’d come to this,” said Herman. “He’s definitely gonna live on.”
KSHB
They hope Elijah’s memory continues to guide future generations — especially his little man.
KSHB
“It’s a special moment for him because I don’t think he realizes how much weight his name is going to carry in the community,” Tiara said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Today, the Kansas City Chiefs announced Jeff Shafer as their 2025 Inspire Change Changemaker – an annual recognition celebrating leaders who are driving significant, measurable change in their communities across the NFL’s Inspire Change initiative’s four pillars: education, economic advancement, police-community relations, and criminal justice reform.
Shafer is the executive director of City Year Kansas City and leads a dedicated team in providing public school students with the academic and social-emotional tools needed to thrive. Beginning in 2010, Shafer began his over-a-decade long work in giving back to local students as an AmeriCorps member in Chicago’s South Side. After five years with AmeriCorps, Shafer transitioned back to Kansas City to assist with the launch of City Year KC. Since 2015, Shafer and City Year KC have remained important pieces in revitalizing the Kansas City Public Schools district, most notably revitalizing accreditation in 2022. The Kansas City native routinely participates in service events throughout the year, including City Year KC’s Dr. Martin Luther King Day of Service where he leads volunteers in beautifying public school spaces with murals and messages of hope.
In addition, Shafer has served on the boards of Brothers Liberating Our Communities, which is responsible for recruiting and retaining Black male educators, and Charlotte Street, a nonprofit providing resources to local artists and curators.
Shafer will be recognized at the Chiefs Inspire Change game during their Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers for his exceptional work in pursuit of education. He will also receive a $10,000 donation from the NFL Foundation, paid directly to a non-profit organization of his choice.
“We are incredibly proud to honor Jeff Shafer as the recipient of the club’s 2025 Changemaker Award,” Chiefs President Mark Donovan said. “His commitment to providing necessary resources to our local public school system through City Year KC embodies what it means to be a pioneer for educational advancement. The Kansas City Chiefs are grateful for the NFL’s Inspire Change initiative, which spotlights important endeavors in our local community, and we are grateful to have Jeff represent the Chiefs this season.”
“The Changemakers selected this year have demonstrated what’s possible when leaders commit to creating real change in their communities,” said Anna Isaacson, NFL Senior Vice President of Social Responsibility. “Their work is a powerful example for others and proof that sustained dedication can drive meaningful progress. The NFL family is proud to recognize their impact.” For more information, visit the link here.
