Awesome so glad to see this - - Would be really nice to have a quality kicker - ROCK CHALK

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 croots:
@jayballer67 I think we’ll keep him but it’s hard to say
i hope he doesn’t just get caught up in the heat of the moment just because Sanders has glitter on his name - would hope he sticks - -BUT we do have Vasko for future
-
@jayballer67 for sure. Vasko is going to be really good. If we lose Bean (which looks less likely than it did right after the season) depth becomes a worry with only 3 scholarship QBs.

You think we got a chance to where Jason comes back for his Super Senior Season buddy ? - Are you as happy as I am and surprised Kenny coming back - -I’m stoked
-
@jayballer67 for sure. I hope he does. Super valuable player
-
Got the kicker it looks like.

YES SIT - -like 85.6 % accurate % - I kne we were bad but didn’t realize we wee dead last in FG %. - -Like another posetr said - -now other teams have to realize we make it to the 30 or so - not near the risk of not scoring points

almost have to laugh at some of these , why verbal when you know your really not that committed. - Now I could be reading in and ut was kind of a way out there post but another poster stated - -could be Coach like said once you go over that bridge your not coming back.
Allwe seen though was OH how his mom and family was so in love with KU. - I think he just got caught up in Sanders name - - not Coaching ability
-
@Gorilla72 he’ll flip to Colorado before signing day
-
@FarmerJayhawk - Boo!

Boy I just seen some video of him from TOS - -mercy he just flat pancaked looked like two guys on a play - -holy bat crap lol. - -looks like really solid physical kid made some nice catchs - -nice blocks, and works for me as a TE. - -Just mentioned defense cause I guess there had been some talk about DE

Massive get. 6’5 280. 3 to play https://twitter.com/5100keys/status/1605262043933728768?s=46&t=ffusCZDNOOuyngrEV0IOJg

Minnesota DL transfer, which is definitely a need for us. Lets steal all of Minnesota’s players on defense.
Booker next?
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich certainly doesn’t hurt us with him. Think we get Phillips (DT from CSU) in the near future as well.

Nice. Keys is a great get for us though. Excited to have him.

Farmer your such a huge help for me. This is a sweet PU - -hoping we can haul some more. - -we really need that Defensive side of the ball. I think offensive side is looking good
-
Keep adding big men. By far the weakest position on the D.
-
From TOS I guess we just picked up another flip - -another kicker that had been with Nebraska has hit 57 yard Fg’s Charlei Weinrich ? - -I think is from Kansas was in the class of 22 - -left footed kicker
-
@jayballer67 yep, walk on
-
Everyone signed. Weisman is delaying, so we’ll watch that one.
Also picked up Phillips, the CSU DT. 6’1 310. One to play. Expect him to start.
-
-
Weisman flipped to CU
-
Got a friend of mine that lives in California. - -He was talking about our little running back we got a commit from -Name is Johnny Thompson I believe – played for Oaks Christan - -or Christan Oaks which is one of the bigger Schools in California & probably he said one of the top ten High Schools in the Nation. - Thompson had originally committed to USC - said good little back - kinda same level as a Devin Neal probably , can always use solid backs such s this guy

-
@KirkIsMyHinrich he just popped for Indiana

-
The staff addressing our biggest needs. - -DL and some secondary - -focus on defense - offense in pretty good shape still got some really good commits - -Hamm , etc

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 croots:

. Is landing 3 DL transfers in 30 hours goodAny idea how many spots we have left? I know it will fluctuate after the bowl with some possible deflections, but was just curious how many spots we have open right now.
-
I have read some fans who are caught up in the class ranking and still kind of down on recruiting, but it is clear we are recruiting better players. We also do not have as big of a class as everyone most other teams so that is going to drag our ranking down as well.
I will say this was a hell of a cycle for Big 12 in general. Tech with a top 25 class, and Iowa St and K-State both have top 30 or 40 classes depending on where you look. Pretty strong for the conference.
-
Kleinman and KSU actually have the #289th ranked class according to rivals. He is a hell of a coach and that is pretty salty.

Yeah a top 30 class is very hard to pull off. Future is bright for them especially with Texas and OU leaving.

Somebody posted this on a different website. But it shows the average ranking of KU players in a given year. Depending on where you look and if you include transfers I think we may be ahead of a few other B12 schools, but regardless we are clearly moving in the right direction and closing the gap.
2015 - 81.18
2016 - 82.19
2017 - 82.18
2018 - 83.54
2019 - 83.96
2020 - 83.94
2021 - 84.67
2022 - 84.53
2023 - 85.96
-
We rank last in the big 12 recruiting for this yr- – BUT what you have to keep in mind is - -we ( KU only had 12 commits -while other schools was at 24 -23 , 21 so you see these other schools had many more recruits. - -The average ranking of players shows we for sure are headed in the right direction, many players with scores of 85’s - -86 - -and a few 87’s
What these 86’s and 87’s mean is that recruiting analysts’ are saying that these type of players can come in and right off the start from the get go - -these players are ready to contribute from the start, these players will or should make an impact from the start.
We are close to our limit for full of 85 - - they say we might be able to have 6-7 more in this class , we gonna lose maybe a few more after the bowl game
Talking like what would be great is if we could red shirt this entire Freshman class. - Don’t think that’s happening , were getting closer but not yet.
Were still young - when you figure we have 10- -11 returning on the offensive side and quite possible of having 20 – of 22 in the two deep - that’s awesome. This year Coach hit the defensive side pretty hard DL and some secondary exactly where we needed to be. - - Looks like he took care of our kicking issues - - FG’S - extra points - and kickoffs – Coach L is Awesome
-
Numbers are TIGHT. This includes Bean and Booker until we hear different. Also includes all the portal commits plus 2023 signees. Really need a CB, LB, and possibly a QB in the portal or in the late period. Other than that, we’re solid. We’ll see how it changes after the bowl game.

Have to keep him there… I would bet a lot of money this is his last season in MHK
