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.

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.

He wanted to commit to KU as a WR and we said no. We already took 3 and he’s never played the position. Think he needs a year at JuCo to make that happen. His mom got so mad on his visit she left him in Lawrence

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:

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.

ya true. Absent minded Still played them really well. - - They just hammering Iowa State 55-7 in the 3rd quarter
-
@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
-
Any updates on Hishaw? Did they amputate?
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 croots:

from what I read he was one of the top running backs in California - is that the one your taking about ? - -If so he was visiting this weekend , he commit while he is here ?
-
@FarmerJayhawk More HS guys? Loooove getting the Cali RB.

@BShark I believe they’ll land one more HS kid, yes. May take a day or so to come out
-
With , this commit & Red Martel backfield in good shape. - - It is good add because I think Thomas portal out
-
@Jethro Yes
-

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.
