Austin Booker
. 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.

You thinking KState Coach gone after this year?- -na he ain’t going anywhere - -not this year anyways I don’t think. - If he was he would have already been gone

@Kcmatt7 Iowa is the big job to watch

The Grapes would LOSE it if he leaves them for Iowa…holy lateral move Batman.

Missourah is getting drilled 14-3. No wonder they ducked us.

!4 -10 now be careful long way to go
-
Wake had a chance to put this game away when they recovered a muffed punt up 14-3. Proceeded to throw a INT and now it’s a tossup.
-
Dillon Mong? Shawnee Mission East. TE, 6’6” 215. Committed.
-
@Gorilla72 My school! We could have added all our OL together and soaked them, and they would have totaled about 212 lbs.
-
@BShark he’s also from there and they can pay him a lot more than the cats
-
@FarmerJayhawk I’d be making that offer yesterday if I were Iowa but they are weird so who knows.
-
Hey Farmer - - - you hearing any rumblings about Jacobee Bryant hitting the portal ? - - Geesh I sure hope not
-
@jayballer67 he’s staying
-
-
Big visit week. Got an OL, LB, CB, and DE on campus.

Jason Bean coming back?
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich I believe so, yes
-
@FarmerJayhawk what? You just pulling our leg?
-
-
@Crimsonorblue22 not at all! I really believe he’s coming back. Sometimes guys change their minds
-
@FarmerJayhawk I like him!
-

How about we just snag them all lol
-
ONCE AGAIN Faremer looks like you was 100 % correct - - From what I’ve seen within the last hour - -Jason Bean - - IS BACK - -THAT’S GREAT NEWS - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

DE didn’t make it. Which makes the Phelps news even worse.
Believe we snagged the LB though.

So let’s see - - we lost the DE & Corner BUT got the Ol right Farmer ?
-
@jayballer67 yep, also got the LB. Both have 2 years left. Honestly I think Lovell (the OL) beats out Ford at guard. He’s a monster.

ya after I read your post I went to TOS and saw we got our LB JB Brown - - -from Bowling Green. - your right Spencer Lovell is huge - -6’6 335 pounds-- was a Starter for Cal before he got hurt. - -Big day for our Hawks recruiting wise
-
@FarmerJayhawk What about Armaj Reed-Adams this season? Is this the year we finally see him get PT?
If he isn’t going to play O, switch that big boy to the other side of the ball and see what happens lol.
-
@Kcmatt7 he’ll definitely be part of the rotation. Fuchs likes to roll with 8; 5 starters and 3 swing guys. I bet the 5 will be Brown, Lovell, Dirk, Puni, Cabledue, then ARA, Ford, and Baynes as rotation guys. Doiron could get some run since he has reps at center.

McGhee

And Patrick Joyner
-
New RB Dylan McDuffie from Georgia Tech
-
Kansas lands class of 2023 CB Jacoby Davis
-
I wonder who got axed to make room for McDuffie? I thought we were out of spots. They could not renew a scholarship I suppose?
Davis is a great pickup. At a position of need as well.

I read that it could very well be our very inconsistent place kicker/fg kicker, - -talk he graduates soon so his scholli would be the one. - Huge get only thing wish he could be a couple inches taller, he get in coverage with some of the bigger receivers might be mismatch no matter. - there is a few 6’4 - -6’5 wide receivers pretty big disadvantage- - b toss it up - -hope not
