you talking the 6’6 Tight End or KY
Both! TE is a walk-on
-
Ky and Phelps are big wins. Pass rush was weak and you can’t have enough playmakers.

Oh hell ya that’s awesome - - hadn’t seen anything on KY yet. - - going to make a pretty god dual between him and Devin then throw in Morrison in some capicity
-
Would like to see them add another OL, but pretty thrilled with the development of the OL throughout the season. Noticeable difference from game 1 vs end of the season

Most games are won and lost in the trenches. It’s just such a huge advantage if you have good line play.

I wouldn’t rule it out. Going to be another wave of transfers after spring ball.

February sometime. I don’t know the actual date off the top of my head. I bet we’ll have only 1-2 at most sign then.

Imagine tampering to get a guy to transfer then losing him to your in state rival.

Hell people talking about KU joining the BIG (Big Ten )- -KU leaving for the Big 10. - -KU not leaving for the BIG 10 - -The Big 10 is coming to KU - -lol
Morrison - -( Nebraska ) - - Young - - -Ohio St right ? ) - - Thomas - - - ( Minnesota ) - - -& What Gervin ( Michigan State ) - - they coming here to the Big 12
-
My Nephew came by yesterday , and said he knows KY and Ky had told him earlier that he was coming. I says why the hell didn’t you say something to ol UNC - -
-
Good Morning Farmer. - -I have a question and really appreciate you opinion , hearing what you think. I’ve been reading some posts off TOS & some talking about KU needing/wanting to bring in possibly ANOTHER QB through the transfer portal.
My question would we REALLY want to do something like that and possibly destroy what confidence JD has achieved last season for a ONE year rental ? I myself not really sure we should bring in another for a year. Give JD another year of Spring ball a full year in the system with this staff and the way he come on , would we really want to risk what JD has gained? - -So what you think ?
-
@jayballer67 they won’t take a transfer QB unless someone bails after spring ball. JD is QB1 all the way
-

well as far as I’m concerned I’m glad Jalen working hard and improving. - Thanks for your thoughts farmer

Walk-on target on campus today. Would be the steal of the decade if we got him. Immediately the most talented TE on the roster. https://247sports.com/player/quinton-conley-46085858

He got hurt and played QB last year for his HS team. A lot of schools backed off.

THANKS Farmer - -Hope we still probe a bit would be sweet

OK Farmer got a question. - - Sure seems from reading off the other site that Coach Leipold and staff is really trying to let a lot of in state recruits no matter of talent that they have been noticed. Just tonight like three different recruits talking about visits or offer - -I realize at this point the one’s that are still there are not quite the level but more possibly developmental but point being staff still showing them they are noticed. - I love that and I think that can only bode well for the staff for 2023 and future the local schools knowing that KU wants the local kids enough of the raiding by Iowa State and others
The question is - - -is there a limitation of how many Walkon’s a program can have Farmer? - - -or is there a limit number of PWO’s is there a number on them - - -Thanks

Hey Jay! I’ve got an answer. The limit spends on how many players you have on scholarship. The limit there is 85. The total roster limit is 105. So if you’re full, you’ll have 85 scholarship, 20 walk-on. If you have 75 scholarship, you can have 30 walk-on. We’re going to be VERY close, if not right at 85 so probably no more than 20 walk-ons.
-
@FarmerJayhawk This is is just so sexy.
85 scholly players… When is the last time we had that?

Dude you’re so right. This staff had a plan and is executing perfectly so far. I’m still a year away from saying it’s a real success because we have to nail the 2023 HS class. I bet they’ll try for 18-20 HS kids and the rest transfers.
Man… there’s no way of knowing that for sure but Gill at the absolute latest. I would guess probably 2007-8. Beaty got close one year on the back of JuCo’s + blueshirts but that went belly up pretty quick so idk if he ever got there.

Thank you so much , I knew you would be able to help me out - -It just looks like Coach is wanting these Kansas kids to know that KU has not forgotten them and it’s not like previous Coaching staffs. There are some real diamonds in the rough here and I think the way Coach handles his recruiting he is fully aware. - I can’t say enough about how much respect I have for this guy. - I think we got a real steal with him, and think this IS our guy that’s going to straighten this mess out. - -EVERYTHING he has done and or approached is just I dunno seems class , smart - -think we got us a really good staff - hope he sticks

Ok so I was waiting to report this but KU is in on both twins. Both DE’s from North Texas. Very good players. From an absolute A+ source at UNT there are some maturity issues and a helicopter dad. So I’m not sure we can get them (TCU, UCLA also involved) but they’re certainly worth a look. Would be summer adds, 3 years to play. https://twitter.com/GabrielMurphy_/status/1487161366817513477

ya I was just reading about them from TOS - - do we want to take the risks of personalitys - you saying maturity–just curious
-
@FarmerJayhawk Woah - 16 sacks and 27 TFL between the 2 last season… That would be legitimately huge to add to this defense
-
To put how much better the pass rush could be next season between these two and Phelps - we had 15 sacks as an entire team last year… LL trying to build a defense through the transfer market and I am HERE for it.

I’ll trust the staff’s process. They offered so they must feel like they can integrate them into KU’s culture. So I’ll say sure let’s give it a go.

Right? Locks down both DE spots for the next 3 seasons. Plus there’s Withers, Alexander, et al for more depth.
