Offseason Roster Thread
-
If Isaiah Marshall is good then that won’t be a problem
-
He can still be good, but he is not ready to start next year.
-
@Woodrow in your opinion…

Interesting to note why it was important to keep JD6.
Tulane’s QB who is a true sophomore is rumored to have a $4M/yr deal to go play at Duke for the next two seasons. You DO NOT want to need a portal QB. Tulane QB is a total stud but that is a steep price.
The QB market in the portal is INSANE.

They continue to cook. Another OL addition with multiple years to play.
Staff has been intentional in adding guys with 3 years remaining on the OL. They know we need to turn the page after this season and are doing their best to be ready for that reality.
-
KC, On paper at least do you think this team is better than last year’s team?
-
@Woodrow that Marshall isn’t ready to start.

Will be tough to replace Cobee, Melo, Neal and the WRs….
But I think we upgraded at TE & LB.
Ultimately, we are probably slightly worse on paper. That’s quite a bit of NFL-caliber talent lost. But there is so many unanswered questions they could just as easily be better.
I would just say that it is my firm belief if we just promoted Z and we have JD6 practice over the summer this team would have won 8+ games last season.
I would put next season’s W/L line at 7.5 probably.
-
@nuleafjhawk obviously it is the coaches opinion that watch him practice everyday.
-
I think the fanbase is really sleeping on Ballard…
-
@Kcmatt7 I don’t think Ballard is too bad watching him play as a freshman against KSU last season. If Rich Miller doesn’t drop a walk in pick 6, he’s in Jayhawk folklore
-
heck ya, got another nice commit today. WR – Bryson Canty from Colombia --I think 6’2 & 205 portal— offers from others ended up choosing over Houston & Wake Forrest.
43 catches this year I think 769 yards - -& 9 TD’S - - Crowded receiver room --this makes 8 Receivers - -I think could go like Hendeson , Canty , & Pickett in some fashion— -think we are going to be just fine- - One yr of eligibility left
Had to edit , also saw his catch’s averaged out to like 17 yards per— I can live with that
-
Updated counts. It reflects all portal commitments and early enrollees. It does not reflect the 10 freshmen that will enroll in June. So that puts us at 81. I think we still need a punter (duh), a DE, a LB, and a DB. Maaaayybe another WR and DB.
-
@FarmerJayhawk How many receivers do we need ?- -We picked up our 8th today from Colombia
-
@SlimShaddy54 they’d take another young guy if the fit was there
-
Crystal ball for Trey Lathan to Kansas. Would be a great get for us.
-
Sitting good with Hunter Higgins too going to announce on the 15th. Looks like going to come down between us and Wisc , got a CB for him also
-
Lathan to Kansas. Just read that he entered the portal AFTER playing in WVU’s bowl game. That is a GREAT sign.
-
@Jhawk69 Big time get. played like the third most snaps, just a very solid LB, get’s down hill really good, gave us fits this yr got two yrs of eligibility -Line backing group shaping up nice
-
Love the activity in these offseason football threads. Feel like i know the pulse of where we are. Also, glad this team has a pulse. Fair to say at this point that Kansas football is … reloading not rebuilding?

Very good get. Linebacker room looks super solid. Front 7 should be solid, imo.

Agreed. Probably need one more DE but other than that I’m happy with where we are on defense.

Ben Bell?
Edit: He’s visiting Ole Miss, so maybe not.

We also need a punter.
