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.
3 ? ? ? ?
Hishaw, APH are the other 2
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.

Brennan Scott decommitted. Not much of a surprise. Hopefully we can get an OL for that spot.

Not a huge loss IMO. I wasn’t his biggest fan

Nah. Just would rather use the IC on a position where we need players. Has been my view since it was clear we were going to have to triage.

Franks to Arkansas could happen as soon as Friday

KU isn’t out of it, just not expecting it to happen.

But I was soo sure he was a lock to KU ?

Brennan Scott to noted power UNLV. A crappy senior year and bleh measurable will do that
-
Still no announcement on Franks, I say he has a much better shot getting to a Bowl at KU if I was being honest. The other side of the coin is that transfer QBs have sucked something awful here. I know it’s been big around the country with 3 straight hesimans but you never know.

90/10 Arky/KU IMO. As of this afternoon neither staff had been informed of anything.

Well he registered for classes at KU so that was a pretty big tell

Briles and the Arkansas staff got involved, he was receptive to their message, and visited. Franks may have been holding out for a SEC offer all along. He’ll absolutely get his teeth kicked in the SEC West and could’ve put up really good numbers at KU but ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
I think KU still has a big perception problem even with Les at the helm. Most think Arkansas is the far better program, where right now they’re kind of a push IMO.
-
I think KU is currently ahead of Arkansas and it’s not that close. Arkansas is on a 9 game losing streak, only won 4 games the last two seasons, they have been blowout at home to teams like Coastal Carolina and if they don’t win their first conference game next season it will have 3 years since their last SEC win. Kansas was 5 plays away from a bowl last season and competed better week in, week out the past 2 seasons. We are moving forward, they flat out have not in 5 years. Now maybe their new staff gets it going in a hurry and some of can be chalked up to playing in a tough conference. But I’d like my chances much better to get a bowl at Kansas this fall if I was him.
-
So the devil let Art Briles out for a visit?!?
The optics at KU have been so bad for so long I don’t blame any recruit for looking elsewhere. And the damn media slobbers over the SEC, so I understand the allure. I still think KU presents the better opportunity for Franks though.
-
@kjayhawks KU was about 5 plays aways from a bowl game in 2018 as well. Info believe this team really is just a QB away from being a bowl team again. I know some were/are skeptical of Franks because of what happened with Crist and Heaps, but those guys transferred as a result of losing their jobs due to on field performance while Franks lost his job due to injury.
This whole decade of crap QB play goes directly back to Mangino not developing a back up QB for Reesing. Kerry Meier was still the back up the whole time. If Mangino had developed a capable back up to secede Reesing, who knows how the past decade goes because I still believe Gill wasn’t given enough time to clean up the program after the end of the Mangino mess, but with a solid QB, he may have gotten the time to filter out the Mangino mess.
-
It’s like a small cap stock trying to convince wall street they’ve really changed and are ready to go up.
Nobody believes you until you actually file a 10-Q that shows you are cash flow positive.
KU needs to prove itself on the field. It’s that simple. It’s hard to do without a QB. But Les is just going to have to either find a diamond in the rough or develop one on the roster. I thought Franks would have been a great fit, but if he’d rather get shit stomped by SEC defensive lineman every week that’s his prerogative. I do think Dearmon having an entire offseason to fully implement his system will show up on the field. I like his RPO scheme and I think once that is the main focus for reps leading into the season we will see it really pop.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Agreed about Gill not getting fair chance and the last 2 seasons. I will add that Kale Pick did see playing time in 2009 and wasn’t given a fair shot in 2010. The offense only had 3 points in that half against NDSU but had a pick in the endzone, a missed FG and several dropped passes. Webb came in and didn’t do any better but was just given the starting job. Gill should’ve let Pick run the ball more and had some option style plays.
-
@kjayhawks Even if Mangino stayed, Kale Pick was never going to be the answer at QB. The only thing I can think of is that Mangino was banking on Christian Matthews coming in off his redshirt and taking over.

Aaaaaand /scene. Arky it is

Just saw that. Wonder if he will be on scholarship? His offer list was a whole lot of nothing.

Yep, he’s a classic diamond in the rough (hopefully). Hasn’t been on the camp circuit and plays out in the sticks.

PWO year 1, opportunity to get a scholarship from year 2 on. https://twitter.com/reis_vernon/status/1221593741196234753?s=20

Well dam , now we lost Chris Jones - de-committed last night , this group is going to hell in a hand basket - - -pretty typical, he says re replaced him the day he left. - -like so many other verbals - verbal doesn’t amount a basket full of rotten eggs. Every or last couple of years the recruitment looked promising, only to have it go to hell - gets pretty frustrating
