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.
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.

Staff doing a nice job locally in filling out the walk-on spots. Got this kid today https://247sports.com/Player/Kenrick-Osei-Bonsu-46114376/
And this one last week. https://247sports.com/Player/Andon-Carpenter-46129842/
I think a couple more spots remain. Watching for James Williams (DL), Quinton Conley (TE/WR), Kai Kunz (QB), and Baylor Bowen (WR).

I think they think they might be in good shape with Kunz aren’t they Farmer ?

Yeah, he decommitted from Washburn a couple days ago. Looking good for the good guys.
-
Kunz looks like he has the athletic ability to play D1
-
Like I looked at Kunz’s Hudl profile and sort of scoffed at the 4.53 40 time. But then I watched the tape… He probably is. Guy can scoot.
Really impressed with his ability to rollout to the left and throw.
-
He’s got tools for sure. Grew like 4” between JR and SR year. Perfect PWO type.

Dilworth is signed, so ends the HS class of 2022. All that’s left are a handful or so of portal spots. To hazard a guess looking at the spring 2 deep, probably S, DL, OL, WR in that order. The only targets I know about right now are the twins from UNT. Far too soon to tell on the others. I think we’ll see a pause on portal entries for awhile.

Aidan Hutchinson to KU confirmed

@FarmerJayhawk LOL.
But for real - Ronnie Bell and Carter Selzer I think both have 1 year left of eligibility (could be wrong) and are KCMO guys…

Enlighten me Farme - -who is this? - -is this a guy we had been after for some time OR is he a surprise ?

If anyone is interested there actually is a pretty good article off TOS written by a beat writer from Texas and the thread is Early Big 12 Preview. Very well written , put together talking about KU ( a Texas beat writer wrote this ) - - lot’s of good things written concerning KU and Coach - talking about KU strengths - -Weakness , who they had brought in - - talking about Jalen - -had several responses on the article saying they wish this article could be forwarded to our local beat writers let them see how he did detail and such - -well written they wondering why our local beat writers couldn’t written something like this about KU - - lol - - check it out - -pretty sweet article
-
@jayballer67 Just a joke; he’s a DE from Michigan and going to probably be the #1 pick in the draft this year.
-
Colin Grunhard is retiring from football. Adds a need at OL. So I’d bump OL above DL in getting someone from the portal.

Edit: twins not gonna happen. Issues I cited with maturity and helicopter dad abound.

Dorian Hinton, OG transfer from MTSU, will visit in March

Something I feel I think getting these 10 Super Seniors back is Huge. - Nice lift/bonus for us , as there are some that has played a big role and gives us needed experience. Malcolm Lee played in all 12 games - - Earl Bostick played in all 12 games I think myself getting Bostick coming back is Big ( experience leadership for the younger guys. Then Caleb Sampson played in 10 games thinks he also is big , -then having Takulve Williams , Sam Burt & Eddie Wilson can only help.
Not gonna lie - - I’m stoked I think Coach has sure pulled the right strings , done thIngs right - recruited well and hit the portal huge and gotten key guys to commit to the program - I think were getting out of this hole. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

The DE should decide very soon. Like tomorrow soon. KU or Buffalo, I think KU leads.

Well all I can hope is that he sees an easier path to the field at Buffalo than KU. At least that is what I’m going to tell myself.

Ok , looking for your insight again Farmer Just read from TOS and was posted by Swain like 3 hrs ago , I don’t reconize the name but not sure if he is a defection to the portal or ONE we are getting from it. Hope you could help.
Kids name is Johnqual Lewis a CB from Hialeiah Flordia - -He is a JR - so do you know - is he a departure - -OR an Arrival ? - Swain posted and it just showed him and a KU decal so not sure HELP
-
Lewis was a backup safety. He got passed by freshmen (White-Schultz and Burroughs) last year so he gone

ok buddy appreciate it like always. - I knew I had never heard of him - but that doesn’t mean anything. so that makes 8 players now
-
Ok , so sitting here just wondering and can’t come up with answers ( Farmer ) I need to hear what your thinking, as your pretty in touch seem to be so buddy , what the hell is going on with our recruitment ? I’m just not seeing or hearing ANYTHING on possibles out of the portal. What gives bud , what’s your train of thought ?
Does it just boil down to lack of W’s on the field ? - I have heard one thing and it has to do with in State kids - -that since Schoonie left that the staff just dropped the ball and didn’t stay on certain kids - -any truth t that buddy? - Is it the lack of NIL’S ? - kind of frustrating - I know if kids going in portal they have to be in by the 1st right ? - -Have you heard of anyone we sitting good with ?
I DID see where we might be in better shape for a couple of in state kids - -but they are - -24 recruits -we need some help , depth now. - - Heard we have a kid right hee in Topeka that they think who will be the # 1 ranked recruit in the State of Kansas in 24 - -BJ Canady- -likes KU been to Lawrence multiple times and is a friend of KY Thomas - see now this is a kid w need to hunt like a dog step on him - -stay on him prove sincere intrest lock him up - we have JUST GOT TO wrap these kind of kids up - - In State.
Then another 24 recruit Think his name is Jayshawn Ross - -heard we are in pretty good with him to - he is a edge. - got to land guys like these two .The one down fall that I had heard about Coach L and staff - - just not good recruiters - -once kids are there at KU then they develop with them well but it’s getting them there - - What are you hearing Farmer ? – Any kind of hope for recutis coming in?
