Too bad the rules are such that KU can’t fill up its roster completely for several more years. It’d be nice if Les could sign 13 juco guys to go with his 25 HS recruits next season to even the numbers out in that (now sophomores) class.
I know we’re petitioning for more counters but it seems unlikely.
-
@jayballer73 We had 23 seniors this season. If we sign the max of 25 (we most likely do with 18 in the early session) we would net gain 2 players as long as no one transfers. But people also forget that I believe a couple of those seniors we former walk ons and/or actual walk ons that weren’t really D1 guys. Getting 2 or 3 full classes with mostly high schoolers will help a ton.

thanks for that - - -appreciated , I get so confused trying to figure this all out numbers wise. - -I just know this I’ll sure be glad when we can finally get back to full - - just hope I’m still around to enjoy it

It’s a long process to even classes back out if you go heavy on juco guys for a couple of years. KU needs to probably sign 20+ HS players every year just to get back to even numbers in 2022.
This class looks good and athletic. They have a couple of local guys that are good signings, although they may only end up representing special teams and depth. Richardson would have been a nice get because he is pretty athletic, but I understand wanting to stay at RB vs. moving to the defensive side of the ball. Either way, KU got more athletic with this group, and that is genuine progress.
Now they just have to do it all over again next year.

@justanotherfan agreed, and the year after lol

Franks to KU should be official before the new year

Oh Farmer , Oh Farmer. MERCY. - I just saw and yes I know it’s highlights , BUT Farmer - this guy is lights out. I understand it would only be for a year , but what a step up in QB - this guy - - this guy I swear man I about wet myself.
The kid has got great size 6’5 , got very nice touch - - -throws a very tight ball - -throws a really nice deep ball, - -can run - thing is also he is a proven QB. - -having started at Florida , has proven against some big time Opponents. - -LSU - Florida State - teams like that saw highlights from those, very proven. Where was he rank wise coming out of High School - - 4 * - -5 * ?
Do we realize how he could help us in his year? - do people realize how much he could help our running game? - this guy can flat throw the pigskin -he could really help in his one year here. - -be a fill gap give us more time to find that QB. - Then we would have Collins/Easter right the following year. - -Man hope people aren’t teasing about this - - but your not the only one saying it sure sounds like he very easily land here - -Not sure I will be able to sleep lol

There’s zero doubt Franks would be the most talented QB we’ve ever had. That’s the Les Miles effect. Dude was a top 50 overall recruit and will be an NFL player.
I don’t remember if I made this exact point here but without him, this feels like a 2 win team. Franks takes us to 4-5 just on what he can do with Dearmon. That’s CRUCIAL for us moving to the 21 and 22 classes, where the staff will really make their money.

You know what, I think I would have to agree with you for sure. - -At least 4 wins -5 possible. - the dude you can see has got skills , easily our best QB in like some time. - like I said though too , with this type of QB that is gonna to help Pooka tons - no way are opponents going to be able to stack the box with a QB like this. - -Again I saw Highlight film but I don’t give a rats ass you can tell this guy is legit.
How confident are you that it will happen ?

He’s Uber talented for sure. Nothing is done until he’s on campus and in crimson and blue but all I feel good about saying now is much more likely than not.
-
Has anyone hear anything more on Felipe Franks ? - -I have heard he I think wants to announce in January. - Farmer any news ?
-
@jayballer73 RCJH is the news, but hasn’t been announced yet.

man I hope so. - -Sure would be a good stop gap for the year. - -Give us that additional year to find NEXT. - - don’t think we would have to worry about him being another Heaps - -or Crist
-
Farmer - - once again sure sounds like you right. - -Everything I’ve been reading/hearing is that Franks is coming. - I learn to really believe solid on what you say sooner then later lmao. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

What is the status of the 4 Star LB, will he sign or flip.
-
AsadZ said:

Can’t really get a true feel about Scott. - -have things being said both ways. Just my personal take I’m afraid he will flip. -I know he was suppose to be taking a trip to Arkansas, don’t know how that turned out or if he has taken it yet.
Then you got Kirby who has said he feels pretty confident on our commits who hasn’t signed yet. - - I guess Scott said all along he wasn’t going to sign until Feb. would hate to lose him - -also really want Ja"Cobee Bryant -was some worry about him qualifying but saw off the Phog he has posted he scored a 20 on his test. - - I think that get’s him in right?
The other one out of the group that I really - -really want to come is Kenean Caldwell Big - - DT out of Louisiana - - huge need that size on our line - if we could get these 3 to stick - -plus land Franks the QB - -I’d be a very happy camper. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

No update on my end. Which is a good thing!
In order of confidence signing in spring: Caldwell (near lock), Jones (ditto), Bryant (he’ll sign if he qualifies), Scott (us if nobody else wants him), Harden (JuCo lock).
-
@FarmerJayhawk how does it affect his nfl stock (Franks) if he comes to KU? +/-/= ?

Sounds good to me.- - I think Caldwell makes immediate impact - - Scott would make an immediate impact. – Hey have you heard or maybe I just flat missed it, anything on Kyler Pearson?

All performance dependent. If he carries this team to 4-5 wins the NFL will take notice. If he continues to struggle in making decisions and we flounder you 2, he’s a day 3/UDFA developmental guy.

I know , - I know call me the ever last eternal optimist on this particular case BUT - - Clayton still dangling pieces just doesn’t make any sense.
Shows Clayton and Pooka together here in Lawrence this weekend has a picture the two of them took together.
Like a poster said - - just doesn’t make any sense if there isn’t something there some smoke - - if there isn’t SOMETHING just seems funny for a high school kid to be here AGAIN to see his buddy that he just saw a couple of weeks ago. – Dude loves to play. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Man I’d love it too but it’s just not happening. We don’t have room for 3 RB’s in this class and need to sign Caldwell, Bryant, Jones, and Franks yet.

ahh ok , thanks - - couldn’t remember
-
Well Farmer ,we may not be getting Clayton - -BUT sure looks like Colorado not keeping him either. – Clayton took most his Colorado stuff off his twitter , and he took off his pinned Colorado commitment - -and his Colorado profile.
I’m just gonna throw this out - -like many others have said If Clayton wants to come to KU - - you make room for him to have his spot - - yep the eternal optimist lol

https://twitter.com/onlygators/status/1211877577025036288?s=21Sounds good. Will just be good to find out. - -See where Coach Miles recruited him out of High School huh?
Sounds too like a pretty class kid - -not wanting to distract from the Florida bowl game - -hopefully soon to be THE NEXT QB at the University of KANSAS. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 Miles didn’t just recruit Franks, Franks was originally committed to LSU before before eventually signing with Florida.
