2023 croots

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

This is going to be a bumpy ride, folks.
What did I miss?
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
National guys or mostly to KState?
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.
Update: we’re in the top tier for Clements. The hometown hero thing and publicity that comes with it is appealing.

Dylan Edwards, 4* RB from Wichita, is on campus

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

Getting rid of the IC cap for 22 and 23 should open the door to adding more HS guys since we can mine both the portal and high school without worrying about hitting the IC cap. As of now, we’ll be at 69 (nice) scholarship guys when fall camp opens. We’ll add more, but 2023 should be a really big class between portal, JuCo, and high school. Say we go into the year with 75. We have 7 seniors who will definitely exhaust eligibility plus 12 4th and 5th years who can stick around but many won’t. So the 2023 class could be 30+ to get to 85.

Ahhh Farmer , your a breath of fresh air. - must of read my mind. Was just wondering WHEN are we going to hear something - - anything good on the recruiting front for this tam. - Sounds god , hopefully maybe things will open up for us some - what you think ? - -Anyone else ? - Sure seems we after those safety’s
Farmer got a question. - with this new thing I think they put in place for what the next two yrs ? you know about the amount of Scholi’s and how it would help KU get to that 85 number. -Do you think that’s going to help us with more players yet in 2022 /
So is this right ? -probably not even close. But with this in place isn’t that almost like taking where there almost will be no LOI for these years because before didn’t we have a maxinmum of like 25 kids a year ?- -now hell if 30 – 35 kids wanted to come to KU and play then they can come can’t they ?- help us gte a full allotment of kids again

Yeah, I think we land a WR this weekend, then have a good shot at some DL next week.
You’re spot on, my friend. Getting rid of the 25 cap means we can get to 85 without any restrictions. I know we’re still going after guys for this year. We’re getting a JuCo LB on campus next weekend for a visit (I think we land him) and are trying to get in on this guy. I have some great insight into the Louisiana program so you can take it to the bank we’re trying like hell on him. https://ragincajuns.com/sports/football/roster/lorenzo-mccaskill/7932
We tried with some OL but one went to Tennessee, one to USC, one stayed in JuCo, one flipped to Oregon State, and another might also go back to JuCo. So it’s been a crap shoot.
The rule is also good for 2023 so we can take as many as we want for that class too.

Thanks buddy. I kind of thought that might be the case. Things sound good, l always look forward to your feed back. It’s good to have people like yourself that’s also invested to out other sport - - -Football , I’ve said this a 1,00 times but I 100 % think we picked the right Coach as the guy just oooozes class and confidence , I just feel as long as we can keep the jackels in line and give Lance the correct amount of time - -there is NO DOUBT that this is the Coach that’s going to get our program back to respectability. - - Thanks Farmer
-
I’ll set the O/U on commits this weekend at 2.5
-
We’re at 2
-
so who is the 2nd commit ?
-
Tristian Fletcher. Technically he’s a 2022 JuCo, but he has 4 to play 3 so more like a HS kid.
-
We might have gotten at least 4…
-
Committing on the 1st. I like our chances. Us or Wazzu https://247sports.com/player/logan-brantley-46129353/
-
You know after this past weekend feeling better for 2023. Had a really good weekend. -now we just have to hang onto them. - -We have another WR that we are I thik in good shape with - -talk is he may even announce where he is going today , if not today but soon.
Got a big time Rb coming for visit this weekend 2023 starting to look like could be good yr for us

I agree, and we did get the wide receiver Kubecka - -sweet pick up. - hoping for good things from the RB this weekend. Another recruit announcing on the 1st of July either us or Washington st - -think you mentioned him though

If Vasko passes him I could see it. Or he might just want to play his 4-5 years and get a degree. We’ll see!
