This would be a NICE get.

I know wrong yr BUT a friend brought this kid to my aattention. kid here in Kansas 2024. - - Kaedin Massey , he says he ought to bring a lot of Interest.

6"8 & 245 lbs , guess he has played or could play any of these 3 - -DL - - OL - - or - -TE--I would think he would go TE. - -has posted a 5.1 HH 40 -- -Bench presses 260- - & Cleans 300 - -played on Varsity I guess as a Freshman - -playing at Northern Heights - -we shall see if we show intrrest when the time comes

My son ('24) went to elementary, jr high and now is in high school with Derrick Sangster ('23) who is getting more and more D1 attention.

Wash State contacted him last year as a sophomore. Now it looks like a bunch of WCC schools are recruiting him. I don't know what his interests are... but sure wish KU could build a bridge to this HS (Archbishop Mitty) and their league for recruiting -- It is very competitive in athletics (FB, BB, women's sports) and the speech and debate team has a string of California state titles going since 2015.

It's becoming clear we're going to whiff on a ton of local kids this cycle. No reason to panic, but also not ideal

A little of both. Avery Johnson seems likely to KSU now. A lot of bigger places have slow played him. KU has recruited him the hardest, but seems like we're the nerd hitting on the prom queen. The RBs will go elsewhere. Nobody seems to know jack on Randle, but it's 100% not KU. We don't have the... resources... to pull that one off. Edwards looks like OU. The OL are tricky. I really, really, really want Otting and Clements but Otting seems to be holding out for Iowa and Clements possibly Baylor. I think KU sits in the second tier with both. Wes Fair is going to KSU. The only local kids I feel good about are Sam Same and Tre Richardson. To a lesser extent Andre Davis. I think we're in the top tier with all those guys, but someone could swoop in and snag Davis if he has a good year.

Rumor is KSU is offering $50k for Kansas guys to sign. I don't know exactly where we are but I know it's not that high.

@FarmerJayhawk Bummer... Just going to have to live in the transfer market for a while. At least we have that instead of JUCOs now. Production at the P5 level vs. hope and a prayer you got the next Alvin Kamara.

@Kcmatt7 well. bad example of a person we want on campus. but you know what i mean

Well Farmer THAT'S not exactly chirpy news - - kinda depressing & disapointing to be honest. - Guess bottom line is we have been a door mat for such an extended amount of time thing is these kids ae going to have to see wins- progress on the field before they take a lot of serious interest. Got a feeling mommy and daddy still got a lot to say with these kids Again we gonna have to win them over prove to them that WE ARE NOT A DOORMAT anymore please bring better news in the future big boy lol- just giving you the business guy I know- -we will get there just takes time. We didn't get this bad/low overnight and were not going to be all the way back overnight - - but I see the light

Update: we’re in the top tier for Clements. The hometown hero thing and publicity that comes with it is appealing.

Dylan Edwards, 4* RB from Wichita, is on campus

Dylan Edwards, 4* RB from Wichita, is on campus

Afraid just a courtesy call, taking his 5 visits - not much chance I don't think

I know he likes Coach Wallace a lot. But yeah, I think he ends up leaving the state.

At least we’re getting an opportunity with players of this caliber. Get them in the door and we have a chance. That wouldn’t have been possible under previous leadership.

Next step is to get one or two signed. Then a few more and so on. The tide is turning. You can feel it.

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 croots:

I think a lot of this comes still from past. - A hurt of hurt - -pissed feeling from State Coach's/kids feeling KU just didn't recruit them - -not even look at them give them the time of day - - now it's getting sent back to KU, no fault of Coach. - -It's gonna take some time PLUS some results on the field. - -I know this staff has really been trying to ge things turned around.

We did get Neal last year, if we can get some results on the field maybe snag a player or two from in state it will come

Made Edwards’s top 10. I don’t think we end up with him but I think we get an official 🐦 View Tweet?s=21&t=SP0cyfJrc-3Z2lklI13b8g

Getting rid of the IC cap for 22 and 23 should open the door to adding more HS guys since we can mine both the portal and high school without worrying about hitting the IC cap. As of now, we'll be at 69 (nice) scholarship guys when fall camp opens. We'll add more, but 2023 should be a really big class between portal, JuCo, and high school. Say we go into the year with 75. We have 7 seniors who will definitely exhaust eligibility plus 12 4th and 5th years who can stick around but many won't. So the 2023 class could be 30+ to get to 85.

Just realized, @jayballer67 hasn't been here for 9 days.😳

Ahhh Farmer , your a breath of fresh air. - must of read my mind. Was just wondering WHEN are we going to hear something - - anything good on the recruiting front for this tam. - Sounds god , hopefully maybe things will open up for us some - what you think ? - -Anyone else ? - Sure seems we after those safety's

Farmer got a question. - with this new thing I think they put in place for what the next two yrs ? you know about the amount of Scholi's and how it would help KU get to that 85 number. -Do you think that's going to help us with more players yet in 2022 /

So is this right ? -probably not even close. But with this in place isn't that almost like taking where there almost will be no LOI for these years because before didn't we have a maxinmum of like 25 kids a year ?- -now hell if 30 -- 35 kids wanted to come to KU and play then they can come can't they ?- help us gte a full allotment of kids again

Yeah, I think we land a WR this weekend, then have a good shot at some DL next week.

You’re spot on, my friend. Getting rid of the 25 cap means we can get to 85 without any restrictions. I know we’re still going after guys for this year. We’re getting a JuCo LB on campus next weekend for a visit (I think we land him) and are trying to get in on this guy. I have some great insight into the Louisiana program so you can take it to the bank we’re trying like hell on him. https://ragincajuns.com/sports/football/roster/lorenzo-mccaskill/7932 ↗

We tried with some OL but one went to Tennessee, one to USC, one stayed in JuCo, one flipped to Oregon State, and another might also go back to JuCo. So it’s been a crap shoot.

The rule is also good for 2023 so we can take as many as we want for that class too.

Thanks buddy. I kind of thought that might be the case. Things sound good, l always look forward to your feed back. It's good to have people like yourself that's also invested to out other sport - - -Football , I've said this a 1,00 times but I 100 % think we picked the right Coach as the guy just oooozes class and confidence , I just feel as long as we can keep the jackels in line and give Lance the correct amount of time - -there is NO DOUBT that this is the Coach that's going to get our program back to respectability. - - Thanks Farmer

I'll set the O/U on commits this weekend at 2.5

We’re at 2 😎

so who is the 2nd commit ?

Tristian Fletcher. Technically he's a 2022 JuCo, but he has 4 to play 3 so more like a HS kid.

We might have gotten at least 4…

Committing on the 1st. I like our chances. Us or Wazzu https://247sports.com/player/logan-brantley-46129353/ ↗

You know after this past weekend feeling better for 2023. Had a really good weekend. -now we just have to hang onto them. - -We have another WR that we are I thik in good shape with - -talk is he may even announce where he is going today , if not today but soon.

Also thinking kids name was Randle - what happened with him ?-- - --did he ever commit & where to ?

Got heeeeeem

Yes Sir - - just watched his announcement. nice pick up - - Yet I think now when all said and done I think Easters transfers ya think ?

If Vasko passes him I could see it. Or he might just want to play his 4-5 years and get a degree. We’ll see!

Farmer , I don't know about you - - what you might of been hearing but I guess Vasko has really impressed some people during Camp. - -Always like hearing that kind of news, have you heard anything ? I just think with Daniels , Vasko , & Weisman - -Easter just might be the odd man out. - these other three little more mobile, like Swain has been saying these three can make things happen on the move. - -Easter more of mainly a pocket QB isn't he ?

Hey Farmer what have you heard about this kid name of Jamill Croft ? -- last name probably not right can't remember his last name, come out of Detroit pretty prized recruit it said he was here visiting when we played Tenn Tech - he is suppose to announce Wednesday. - -Do we have any kind of chance on him or not ? - -what you hearing if anything ? - probably not much he has offer from Tennessee for one

@jayballer67 gah sorry for being late to this. KU definitely has a chance but I’m not sure anyone knows where he’s leaning as of now

Well thanks for that anyways bud I think he is suppose to announce tomorrow . Would be a sweet PU

Now guys I don't know if we wanna try this kid again. Local kid for me from Topeka, KU had offered I believe as a WR - he wanted RB and committed to New Mexico State I think - -well now de-committed. His High School FINALLY won games this yr, Highland Park they are 2-0 this Season hadn't won a game for years & Years before this anyways some stats from last Friday :

The kid's name is Tre Richardson - -He Scored - - EIGHT TOUCHDOWNS last Fridy Scored all of Highland Parks points - - ( 48 ) last Friday

Rushing Attempts 11 -218 yards - 3 TD's - - Receiving 5 - -251 yards - 4 TD'S - - & Kick off Return - - 1 - -65 yards - -1 TD

Not sure if we gonna even waste time with him again , still think if we do it's still gonna be as WR , good talet , some eye popping numbers - - BUT just not sure

There are some DUDES on campus for tomorrow's game

On the football side, BJ Canady is the headliner. But also we'll have a couple commits coming to town, along with Mason Goldman (OT), Aidan Beymehr (TE), Tyler Little (ATH), Buffalo Cruize (OT), and some 2024 guys that will be studs.

Got a friend of mine that lives in California, and we got a commit from a 3* WR from the school in California that she has a nephew plays - -their family pretty up on things there and says KU GOT A STEAL in this kid. -Thing is I can't remember his name will try to find. - - Sounds good to me

Edit on this , I looked it up. - The only kid from Clifornia we have gotten right now is listed as an Athlete his name is Surahz Buncom - -6'4- -hope they are right

Huge weekend for the football program this weekend. - -Question one is for 2023 & one is for 2024. - -Farmer or anybody but question - - So Farmer , with our success , read where got some big timers really following us, one in 2023 for sure , kinda looks like we just might be back in the Picture for Randle ? - -you heard any updates -- would love to land this kid still - -Then 2024 what is your thoughts on B J Canady the # 1 recruit out of Kansas in 2024 -- kid is a stud -looks like we just might be in a realy good spot with him. - He is making his 2nd visit to Lawrence tomorrow - what ya think ?

Really like the looks of who we are recruiting - -one thing about it - - KU is not backing off the big timers - -not shying away at all - - gotta love who they going after

Tre Richardson touched the ball 5 times last night - - scored 5 times -- Highland Park wins 74-0 - - This kid needs to be on the roster, he wants to be RB - - KU has offered WR - he needs to wake up this could always switch later

@jayballer67 BJ is a huge KU fan. Though idk how much that’ll impact his choice.

Nobody really knows anything on Randle. My gut says he ends up in the SEC but I don’t have anything to go on. I think he probably comes to a game at some point.

His mom wants him to go to KU, or at least stay in state. I think he commits to KU by the end of the year as an athlete. KU is super deep at RB, but a guy like him is dangerous in space. If I were him, I would switch to WR for the simple fact that his chances of being a pro at his size (5-10, 165) are better at WR than they are at RB.

Remember this kids name - - you will know him when it's al said and done - -Great High School - Big time steal from what I hear

Mater Dei is widely regarded as the best football school in California. Picking up a recruit from there is a signal in many ways and could attract talent from other Cal schools. There is so much talent here that some excellent players get overlooked and end up at DII or mid majors out of HS.

I had heard that. he should of took the offer when we offered WR to him

@FarmerJayhawk for real?

Dylan Edwards visited for TCU. He bought a ticket just like you or I would. Rumor has it he’s very interested in what’s happening in Lawrence. Not sure that interest is mutual.

@FarmerJayhawk Why wouldn't the interest be mutual?

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in 2023 croots:

@FarmerJayhawk Why wouldn't the interest be mutual?

He's not a great team mate. Dangeruss levels possibly.

@KirkIsMyHinrich doesn’t fit the culture. I don’t think he’s a bad kid or anything, just immature right now.

The positive of this is that KU is turning heads in state. LL is going to be the worst thing to ever happen to KSU football if he's here for a decent stretch.

@FarmerJayhawk from derby?

@Crimsonorblue22 that’s the one

@FarmerJayhawk first ksu, then Notre Dame, now? His dad was so excited for his alma mater ksu.

Logan is a huge pickup. If anyone can tap into that potential, it's Fuchs. The back room guys did a ton of work on his background and apparently was good to go. 2 years to play 2. Now he is just a verbal and could decommit any time between now and when classes start in January, but he's the type who wanted to get his recruitment done and over with. Hence the radio silence around the whole thing.

Former 4* WR Markus Allen will visit for the Texas game. Wiscy transfer, would have 3 to play at KU.

Also a few JuCo kids coming. An OL, DE, and CB.

Well let's be a god host. - -Full Stadium , put on a good performance , let them feel the atmosphere , scenery -show them how nice it would be to be here

Farmer I need your help/varification if you can. - -Read that KU had got the # 1 portal transfer to the class. - -Logan Brown a 6'6 - -315 pound OL from Wisconsin. -Have you heard anything about this ? -- Got from TOS - how credited is this - -very nice obviously if true

Guys got two questions .One is , isn't Spencer Rattler - - Didn't he use to play for Oklahoma the QB ? - -& 2nd if I'm not mistaking and very easily could be but If I'm not mistaking I think we have played TCU the closest anyone has played them this year right ? - 38- - - -31

We're at best TCU's third closest game. Last week, they kicked a game winning FG as time expired down 2 to win by 1 against Baylor and they went to double OT against OSU after erasing a 14 point 4th quarter deficit.

@jayballer67 yessir, he committed maybe a month or so ago? Big kid with a lot of talent. Just didn’t put it together at Wiscy. Fuchs has a lot to work with there. Wouldn’t surprise me if he slotted right in there for Bostick.

I think I like the sounds of that. - -really good size -thin it was 6'6 & 315 might not hurt to put on a few pounds possibly

I don’t have names down totally solid yet, but portal interest in KU is very, very high. We have a very appealing combo of available PT, NIL opportunities, and program stability.

That's really good to hear, hopefully we can pull a couple of good players from the poral. I really like how we coming around. Lance has done a great job with these guys and thing is we got a lot of them coming back - -probably a couple of Super Seniors

You know there are some people talking about how KU backed into our bowl game , saying we went 1-5 - -and really didn't deserve a bowl game. These were mostly K/State idiots talking to which I have to say this :
KU team played who was put on the field in front of them. - - They have no control of who steps on the field - -they have no control of who's injured with the opposing team - - they have no control if another opposing player is sick. - -All they have control of is themselves , how they play which has been as a very competitive every single game keeping a persons interest except the Texas game. - -This team is closing the gap and I think other teams are becoming a wear - or they BETTER BE. - I am happy with we are at at this point- -think we are actually even a little ahead of schedule so far. - - ROCK CHALK

@FarmerJayhawk I think we still have some residual "cool" factor right now too. Hopefully the staff has some of the transfers working their connections. I'd take another Ohio State backup or two...

We lost to tcu by less than ksu

@Crimsonorblue22 foreshadowing?

@bskeet all I got🥴

Couple of things here . One is a question & one view opinion.- -Question is guys , do we start playing our new members this up coming season 2023? - you know Cincinnati - - Houston - - Central Florida - BYU ? -If we do , do we know which one of these schools is on KU'S schedule or are they ALL gonna be on the schedule for KU ? - -Do we know our opponents yet ?

Then the other ,my view/opinion , I think this portal is gonna be a huge portal in football this season. Already some big time names - - Think Alabama WR - - Tulsa QB suppose to draw major attention , other big time draws in there, - -We have some pretty major players coming for visits. Gonna be something to really keep our eye on this Season , we know Lance has done really well

I guess another question I might have is - who does this help or hurt the most , the portal. - -Does the portal hurt the High Schools recruits more ? - -Are Colleges going to lean on the portal a lot more cause they have the College ball experience ? - -Or does Coach's continue to lean more on High School players and develop - - -OR the portal ?

RB Johnny Thompson is on board. He’s not the only one either 😎

I think we add a couple of Juco's yet for 23 too

@jayballer67 absolutely. I think we made a strong impression on a corner and a tackle.

Also, Malik Berry is one to watch for a PWO opportunity. Former Free State QB, now a DE/OLB at Butler. Think he’s immediate depth at special teams and maybe can get on the field as a situational pass rusher.

@FarmerJayhawk Was thinking Kema could be a likely one from what Swain was posting.

@BShark wouldn’t surprise me at all. We may not get him for awhile because of his LDS mission but he’s a really good player

that's sounds really good to me buddy. I think we can use all the DL line we can get, we need to shore up the run defense - which I do see some progress , just think we need more. - let the good news keep coming.

Little side note our QB Weisman coming in - -just looks like he is really invested trying to recruit for us too lol - - always like that -

@jayballer67 we’re in on a couple JuCo DE’s too, one from Hutch. Yeah we offered him one last year and he thought he’d get more offers, and they never came. So we might be his best option if he wants to play D1

Farmer with what we got coming into our RB stable , do you look posssibly -myself I think quite possibly , but do you think Thomas hits the portal again? - just didn't see the field alot. - -Also with the talent of the two we got coming in just think he might get buried. Things I've heard about RED might be pushing for the # 2- -then you got Morrison - - Then Thompson and Thomas battling. I just think Thomas might be on his way out - what's you projection for him ? - -Stay or Go ?

@jayballer67 I’m pretty sure either Ky or (more likely) Sevion transfers. Both came in thinking they’d compete for RB1 and then Hishaw beasted. Ky had health issues all year so my guess is he sticks it out. A place like Tulsa would be great for Morrison

Kind of interesting to see McBride & Potter go- -really surprised McBride leaving thought he had a good chance for some quality time. - -Kevin not so much , I dunno maybe me but I though he did ok, a lot of people riding him pretty hard. - -Hope he does well wherever he lands

Allwe seen though was OH how his mom and family was so in love with KU. - I think he just got caught up in Sanders name - - not Coaching ability

Minnesota DL transfer, which is definitely a need for us. Lets steal all of Minnesota's players on defense.

Booker next?

@KirkIsMyHinrich certainly doesn’t hurt us with him. Think we get Phillips (DT from CSU) in the near future as well.

Farmer your such a huge help for me. This is a sweet PU - -hoping we can haul some more. - -we really need that Defensive side of the ball. I think offensive side is looking good

Keep adding big men. By far the weakest position on the D.

From TOS I guess we just picked up another flip - -another kicker that had been with Nebraska has hit 57 yard Fg's Charlei Weinrich ? - -I think is from Kansas was in the class of 22 - -left footed kicker

@jayballer67 yep, walk on

Everyone signed. Weisman is delaying, so we’ll watch that one.

Also picked up Phillips, the CSU DT. 6’1 310. One to play. Expect him to start.

Weisman flipped to CU

Got a friend of mine that lives in California. - -He was talking about our little running back we got a commit from -Name is Johnny Thompson I believe -- played for Oaks Christan - -or Christan Oaks which is one of the bigger Schools in California & probably he said one of the top ten High Schools in the Nation. - Thompson had originally committed to USC - said good little back - kinda same level as a Devin Neal probably , can always use solid backs such s this guy

Any idea how many spots we have left? I know it will fluctuate after the bowl with some possible deflections, but was just curious how many spots we have open right now.

I have read some fans who are caught up in the class ranking and still kind of down on recruiting, but it is clear we are recruiting better players. We also do not have as big of a class as everyone most other teams so that is going to drag our ranking down as well.

I will say this was a hell of a cycle for Big 12 in general. Tech with a top 25 class, and Iowa St and K-State both have top 30 or 40 classes depending on where you look. Pretty strong for the conference.

Kleinman and KSU actually have the #289th ranked class according to rivals. He is a hell of a coach and that is pretty salty.

Yeah a top 30 class is very hard to pull off. Future is bright for them especially with Texas and OU leaving.

Somebody posted this on a different website. But it shows the average ranking of KU players in a given year. Depending on where you look and if you include transfers I think we may be ahead of a few other B12 schools, but regardless we are clearly moving in the right direction and closing the gap.

2015 - 81.18

2016 - 82.19

2017 - 82.18

2018 - 83.54

2019 - 83.96

2020 - 83.94

2021 - 84.67

2022 - 84.53

2023 - 85.96

We rank last in the big 12 recruiting for this yr- -- BUT what you have to keep in mind is - -we ( KU only had 12 commits -while other schools was at 24 -23 ,, 21 so you see these other schools had many more recruits. - -The average ranking of players shows we for sure are headed in the right direction, many players with scores of 85's - -86 - -and a few 87's

What these 86's and 87's mean is that recruiting analysts' are saying that these type of players can come in and right off the start from the get go - -these players are ready to contribute from the start, these players will or should make an impact from the start.

We are close to our limit for full of 85 - - they say we might be able to have 6-7 more in this class , we gonna lose maybe a few more after the bowl game

Talking like what would be great is if we could red shirt this entire Freshman class. - Don't think that's happening , were getting closer but not yet.

Were still young - when you figure we have 10- -11 returning on the offensive side and quite possible of having 20 -- of 22 in the two deep - that's awesome. This year Coach hit the defensive side pretty hard DL and some secondary exactly where we needed to be. - - Looks like he took care of our kicking issues - - FG'S - extra points - and kickoffs -- Coach L is Awesome

Numbers are TIGHT. This includes Bean and Booker until we hear different. Also includes all the portal commits plus 2023 signees. Really need a CB, LB, and possibly a QB in the portal or in the late period. Other than that, we're solid. We'll see how it changes after the bowl game. !Screenshot 2022-12-22 at 12.07.55 AM.png ↗

ya after I read your post I went to TOS and saw we got our LB JB Brown - - -from Bowling Green. - your right Spencer Lovell is huge - -6'6 335 pounds-- was a Starter for Cal before he got hurt. - -Big day for our Hawks recruiting wise

@FarmerJayhawk What about Armaj Reed-Adams this season? Is this the year we finally see him get PT?

If he isn't going to play O, switch that big boy to the other side of the ball and see what happens lol.

@Kcmatt7 he'll definitely be part of the rotation. Fuchs likes to roll with 8; 5 starters and 3 swing guys. I bet the 5 will be Brown, Lovell, Dirk, Puni, Cabledue, then ARA, Ford, and Baynes as rotation guys. Doiron could get some run since he has reps at center.

I read that it could very well be our very inconsistent place kicker/fg kicker, - -talk he graduates soon so his scholli would be the one. - Huge get only thing wish he could be a couple inches taller, he get in coverage with some of the bigger receivers might be mismatch no matter. - there is a few 6'4 - -6'5 wide receivers pretty big disadvantage- -

Doing a little catching up, KU has quietly put together a very nice walk on class, complete with a couple P5 transfers. Lots of guys with utility frames who could be DBs or LBs with some development. Dillon Mong could grow into a nice TE. My fav is Grady Seyfert from Beloit (NCK pride!). He'll be a nice depth piece at DT or interior OL. Played both DT and G in high school, and Beloit has always had a really solid football program, much to my chagrin.

Lots of talk of how our linebacking problems have been taken care of this season - - . Brother I think we can be sneaky good. - For one I think our offense is gonna be just as explosive as last year if NOT MORE I mean we are loaded I think in the receiver spot, not hurting at the RB. - What's the Scoop on Mcduffie ? - -If I'm right he is the transfer from Georgia Tech running back. - -I think he might be able to take a few snaps-- I mean Neal & HiShaw fingers crossed he can stay healthy he is a animal.

Think our O-Line is in solid shape - -just need to add some conditioning - - little weight / strength.

Still think our main concern even though improved is our defense - -I hope we have gotten bigger taller. I t was so evident in the Arkansas game look at Arkansas players then our guys--just got out matched a lot of times - - need some physicality on the rush ends - - aggressive/mean - -I think gonna be exciting - - I'm stoked Farmer

@jayballer67 McDuffie is going to replace Ky Thomas’s snaps. So not a huge role, but depth in case Hishaw goes down again and to preserve Neal.

I don’t think the defense is fixed, but I do think it’ll improve. Losing Lonnie really hurts. However! I love love love what they’ve done at corner. McGhee and Joyner are dudes. I’m concerned about linebacker. Brown is good, but we didn’t add much in terms of numbers. The one to watch here is Jayson Gilliom. Came as a safety but missed last year due to injury. Heard he’s really really good.

I agree on the OL. I think it’ll be better. Brown replacing Bostick should help the run blocking. Big Earl was great but he’s not a mauler. Spencer Lovell probably beats out Ford for a guard spot. That’s some more extra beef.

Makes me feel really good to see our latest group of 13 are now on Campus and enrolled for Spring Semester. - Can't lie I'm stoked you can see Coach is really filling in his guys and talent getting better. - -Couple of these guys are 4 Stars -one was rated a 5 star by one publication , getting some size height and weight.

One's I'm super excited that are actually here cause I think these guys are REALLY gonna help are : - Austin Booker ( DE ) from Minnesota- Pattrick Joyner ( DE ) from Utah State - Super, Super stoked about Damarius McGee - -4* ( CB ) from LSU -Super Stoked about Logan Brown - -he is the 5 * by the one publlication a 6'6 & 311 pound ( OL ) from Wisconsin - - -Spencer Lovell ( OL ) 6"6 and 335 pounds from Cal-- And realy stoked for our specialist we needed desperately --( PK ) Seeth Keller from Texas State

Super charged for ALL the guys but these to me are gonna be studs ya I realize we don't have a full 4 years with some of them but still filling in really nice - - -I'm ready

Having these guys ready to step in and start next season is huge. Even if you don't have them for 4 years, bridging that gap while other guys develop is important to avoid a step back to being a 1 or 2 win team.

@justanotherfan I posted on another thread, but adding through the transfer portal should be a top priority for LL and Co.

There is probably a "nicer" way of saying it, but "trapping" kids here and getting them after they used their free transfer already is going to be important for "getting old and staying old."

If you can land ~8-10 multi-year guys through the portal every year, that is likely to mean you have at least 30 players on your roster every single season who have 2+ years of D1 college football experience. Throw in a minimum of 40 "home grown" guys (just 10 each class), and you'll never see the scholarships dip below 75 ever again... And you'd be a VERY old team. It feels like the staff understands this.

@Kcmatt7 this is the way. I’ve heard a mix of 15 HS, 10 portal/JuCo is the strategy moving forward. Once the Covid years cycle out it’ll be more consistent

OK Farmer help me out. Saw this guy was a PWO just recent add I think need a little inside info. - - -- he is a dual threat QB -- Cole Ballard I think said 6'2 - -215 maybe 225 , anyways just wondering if you had heard anything on him at all.

I mea saw his tape - -kid looked pretty solid - -looks like got a pretty strong arm - -pretty dam accurate in all three levels - -short , intermediate , & Deep. - -Runs well , strong runner , decent speed. Have you heard anything? - - If is is like he looks think we might of got a steal. - Like others have said of TOS -KU has had an outstanding recruiting with the PWO'S this year - -what you think ?

@jayballer67 he's the Indy Colts GM's kid. I don't expect much from any walk on QB except play decent scout team and keep the team GPA up. TJ Crews is the other in that category.

KU is 2nd in the nation in returning production for the upcoming year - - KU has 85 % returning on the offensive side and ranked 10th on the defensive front. The closest one to us from the Big 12 is Texas ranked 19th -- Then drops all the way to Texas Tech at 64th - -WV at 66th- -Iowa St at 67th - - then The Purple kittys at 76th.

i don't think I've eve been so pumped for our boys this fall, the start of the New Big 12 - -New Teams - and getting remodel/updates on Booth and Anderson - -these things mean alot ot recruits - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hey buddy Farmer got a question. Not really recruiting but football.- -Do you have any insight or whisperings how we are progressing as far as the funds needed for our stadium improvements ? - You think we will hit the goal , as I think the project expected to be around 330 Million total or in the somewhere right ?

Just curious if you had heard any updates. I'm so ready for that old thing to get that major face lift. --I did see where recruits said they had seen the plans and looked really awesome. Do you know do they have the renderings/pics? - of projected design yet? - I'm so jacked about our football - -ready for some new blood in the league - - Screw Texas/Oklahoma - -get the hell out - gonna be a couple of has beens in the SEC.

Just curious hope we can come up with al money needed to fund- -or Lance probably will walk just like his contract states if up dates don't get done

It'll get done. Just the public and endowment funds are $200m. I know Goff and Girod are circulating renderings to big donors, and they're getting tweaked based on donor input. I'm guessing that process will be done sometime in the fall and the pictures will get to us plebes. Still hearing it'll be a part of a larger capital campaign. The AFH project is a go, and I bet Hoglund will be in the mix as well.

That's huge love this Staff. like I posted before the quality of guys we ar now getting or that we are in the mix for is like night and day.

Having said that , we are getting people's attention lol , out other school down the pike I think getting a little nervous . All up in arms about how we are getting our funding for reno at Memorial, saying it's not right. - -People saying if we indeed end up with the renovations then it is showing commitment to Football and that scares the hell out of them the way tt sounds.

The post of the month I saw from them- -a poster says "Why are you worried about their stadium improvements ? I'm worried about what their Coach is doing over there. They aren't a pushover anymore. Plus if he stays committed They just got the # 9 Dual threat QB in the Country for 24 and some other nice players.

LOL, ATTENTION BIG 12 - -we coming , like he says you try and kick us now - -we kicking back. Big 12 I putting you on alert , Coach and the Hawks are NOW at Defcon 5 we coming.
ESPN came out and listed top QB's in the Nation , they polled 12 different anaylsts (Coach's ) gave them a Scoring system -and our bor Jaylon - -# 10. - -oh ya I'm ready and this addition just another sign - -that the Door is now OPEN - look out

Hey Farmer, saw where Mikey Pauley Neb QB transferred in to KU, I guess walk on - -but I don't get it. We have Jalen , Jason , Ben , - -why?- -plus we got our stud coming in 24 - I just don't get that move , he not going to see the field here. I mean not sure the story in Neb but with what w got here & coming - - WHY ?

@jayballer67 don’t think you can have too many options at QB after #6 leaves.

Hard to say who’s skills will really translate.

@jayballer67 why not? He's a walk on and gets to pay in-state tuition now. He'll compete for reps with Easters and play some scout team. He's got some athletic talent, just a BIG project.

A big get with Brooks today. was ranked as the 77th best player coming out of high school in 21, viewed s the 6th best edge rusher, should be able to help get pressure on opposing QB's , plenty of depth on both Strong side and Weak Side.
