My son ('24) went to elementary, jr high and now is in high school with Derrick Sangster ('23) who is getting more and more D1 attention.
Wash State contacted him last year as a sophomore. Now it looks like a bunch of WCC schools are recruiting him. I don’t know what his interests are… but sure wish KU could build a bridge to this HS (Archbishop Mitty) and their league for recruiting – It is very competitive in athletics (FB, BB, women’s sports) and the speech and debate team has a string of California state titles going since 2015.

It’s becoming clear we’re going to whiff on a ton of local kids this cycle. No reason to panic, but also not ideal

A little of both. Avery Johnson seems likely to KSU now. A lot of bigger places have slow played him. KU has recruited him the hardest, but seems like we’re the nerd hitting on the prom queen. The RBs will go elsewhere. Nobody seems to know jack on Randle, but it’s 100% not KU. We don’t have the… resources… to pull that one off. Edwards looks like OU. The OL are tricky. I really, really, really want Otting and Clements but Otting seems to be holding out for Iowa and Clements possibly Baylor. I think KU sits in the second tier with both. Wes Fair is going to KSU. The only local kids I feel good about are Sam Same and Tre Richardson. To a lesser extent Andre Davis. I think we’re in the top tier with all those guys, but someone could swoop in and snag Davis if he has a good year.
Rumor is KSU is offering $50k for Kansas guys to sign. I don’t know exactly where we are but I know it’s not that high.

@FarmerJayhawk Bummer… Just going to have to live in the transfer market for a while. At least we have that instead of JUCOs now. Production at the P5 level vs. hope and a prayer you got the next Alvin Kamara.
-
@Kcmatt7 well. bad example of a person we want on campus. but you know what i mean
-
Well Farmer THAT’S not exactly chirpy news - - kinda depressing & disapointing to be honest. - Guess bottom line is we have been a door mat for such an extended amount of time thing is these kids ae going to have to see wins- progress on the field before they take a lot of serious interest. Got a feeling mommy and daddy still got a lot to say with these kids Again we gonna have to win them over prove to them that WE ARE NOT A DOORMAT anymore please bring better news in the future big boy lol- just giving you the business guy I know- -we will get there just takes time. We didn’t get this bad/low overnight and were not going to be all the way back overnight - - but I see the light

Update: we’re in the top tier for Clements. The hometown hero thing and publicity that comes with it is appealing.

Afraid just a courtesy call, taking his 5 visits - not much chance I don’t think

I know he likes Coach Wallace a lot. But yeah, I think he ends up leaving the state.

At least we’re getting an opportunity with players of this caliber. Get them in the door and we have a chance. That wouldn’t have been possible under previous leadership.
Next step is to get one or two signed. Then a few more and so on. The tide is turning. You can feel it.

I think a lot of this comes still from past. - A hurt of hurt - -pissed feeling from State Coach’s/kids feeling KU just didn’t recruit them - -not even look at them give them the time of day - - now it’s getting sent back to KU, no fault of Coach. - -It’s gonna take some time PLUS some results on the field. - -I know this staff has really been trying to ge things turned around.
We did get Neal last year, if we can get some results on the field maybe snag a player or two from in state it will come
-
Made Edwards’s top 10. I don’t think we end up with him but I think we get an official https://twitter.com/kansas247/status/1525205329608290305?s=21&t=SP0cyfJrc-3Z2lklI13b8g
