2020 Football Recruiting
-
Another one! https://247sports.com/player/alonso-person-46057052/
-
You’re never done recruiting in football. Bill said in the documentary.
“Commitments don’t mean anything”
-
That puts us at 34th in recruiting rankings… it won’t hold, but somewhere around #50 seems likely
-
Well if it should turn out - -seems like we would get a huge boost - I’m STILL not sure how they can do it , BUT they have ways I reckon.
Looking like there still might be hope with Ashad Clayton – Mercy if there was any way of landing him - - I would wet myself. - We right now 1 over the NCAA limit for recruits BUT like I said I guess they have ways.
He tweeted out last night I guess that a Dynamic dual coming soon - -and of course got lots of responses tweets to him about coming to KU - -he has made comments in the past talking about how he wanted to come back to KU again - -/soon. - -the Dual would be him and Pooka - - Like someone said all we got is Pooka and our other Louisiana Animals - -Coach Hull and such- - still just don’t know - - also made the statement about being his last months in Louisiana, but that could also mean Georgia - -or Auburn - -but both those schools have landed commit from higher running backs - -Ashaad # 11 in the nation - running back - - - man that would be Beyond - -Sweet
Just another reason we just HAVE to show improvement on the field for these recruits - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
See where Pooka is following Ashaad on his twitter - that’s good
-
Well this kind of a game can only Help with recruiting. - -This is recruits like seeing some progress - playing for a competitive team - -got to help. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Well guessing and holding out , that we still got a shot for Shaad in this yrs group , - -ya I know we are suppose to be over the limits - -BUT looks like Les has ways.
Clayton is a Stud - - this is the kid I wanted and still want - -just another version of Pooka - -maybe a little better. -Been talk about Him and Auburn , yet you look back and he has statements - -how he wanted to get back up to Kansas soon – mentioned how a dynamic duel would be soon - - – Talked about how this was his last 9 months in Louisiana - -ya could mean because he was headed to Auburn - -but could Mean Kansas too
The thing here is - - If Clayton already knew or knows he is going to Auburn - - why hasn’t he already committed? -why when almost or a lot of the kids now days are committing and signing in December - if he is sold on Auburn why hasn’t he verbally said he was going to Auburn? - -why wait? - -he going to Auburn - -just say I’m going to be attending Auburn - - Why hasn’t he? - - - I’ll tell you why - - cause we not out of this race yet - -I haven’t heard no Fat Lady singing - - -I haven’t seen no Fat Lady even warming up - - -Hell I haven’t even seen a Fat Lady - -little less her singing lol -we still in this guys - -hoping we can lure him to come on and join the rest of the Louisiana Animals. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Well no thread for 2021 but looks like we are about ready to pick up our 3rd commit in 2021.
Reading of the Phog – Ben Easter our commit QB from 2021 tweeted out - - -saying show him some love KU Nation;
He was referring to a WR - -from Carrollton Texas 6’4 192 lbs - 3 * - -Jaddai Henry - - which had tweeted out on his twitter Something Big onna the way
Jaddai Twitter just loaded with re-tweets about KU football - had a sweet video of KU’s win on his twitter - all kinds of re-tweets - on KU - -Soo looks like were of and running for 21 - hey I ain’t mad at em lol - -fill it up - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark The SEC has been brutal to Missouri so anything to pile on top of their athletic dep’t is just that much better.
-
@Kcmatt7 That’s pretty cynical and likely true.
-
Can anyone define the meaning of these letters - - -TOS ? -Read from a poster off the phog , like less then 2 hours ago said - - - -Where the poster read from TOS that say Ashad Clayton’s top two Schools are Georgia and KU - -and he loves Pooka and really wants to play with him. - -Thing is Georgia is pretty much running back U these last few years - -but on the other hand they have already signed a higher rated running back then Clayton this incoming year - - Clayton can come in and play right along Pooka take Herbert’s place or go to Georgia and stand in line - seems lie an easy choice to me - - love this guy - - said decision could be coming soon.
Also read where Patrick Williams a 4 * Defensive tackle 6’2 - - -285 - -from Marrero Louisiana has just de-committed from LSU and KU is a school he wants to visit - - - sounds just fine with me, maybe pick up a couple of studs - -Clayton 4 * running back - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
TOS is The Other Site. Meaning it came from Rivals.
-
Zach Evans (5* RB) is likely going to UGA. I still think the main competition for Clayton is LSU, but if we can land him, that would be terrific. If we can get the DT on campus too that would be awesome. I think he ends up at TCU but visits will make a difference for sure (and if we can beat them Saturday).
-
The big thing that has helped KU so far this year is that, even though they are 2-2, they were very competitive in both of the losses. That matters. Kids don’t want to come and get embarrassed week after week. Showing that KU is no longer a team that can get blasted every week by any conference opponent is big.
The next step, obviously, is to put some numbers in the win column. I’d like to see 4 wins. More than that is probably too hopeful, but 4 would show some definite progress. We still need playmakers on the offensive side, and some more athletes on defense, but 4 wins on top of being competitive would show that things are pointed in the right direction.
-
@justanotherfan 100% agree. I think building overall depth will be huge. I think we have a good chance to shut WVU down if we have more bodies on defense Saturday. It was clear after 80+ plays they were gassed. I’m very excited for 2021 when most of the roster is Les Miles recruits.
-
@justanotherfan I was as inspired by the BC win as i’ve been in a long time. BUT - BC is not Oklahoma, Texas, Oklahoma State and maybe even (puking a little bit here) K-State. If we can remain competitive in those game, I will be looking at season tickets for next year.
But, the two losses, close as they were, were in my opinion BAD losses. Those should have been two that all Kansas fans had picked as W’s.

I don’t think he is goin go to LSU. – He has tweeted that this is his last 9 months in Louisiana – I think also it’s a KU/Georgia battle. – A friend of mine is pretty close down there but he said he had been hearing Georgia - -but talk to him a couple of days ago and now kind of un-clear

from everything I’ve seen and heard from others is - - Clayton is just another version of Pooka - - maybe a tad better – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

If that is the case then UGA would have two 5* RB’s in this class. Wouldn’t make a lot of sense for Clayton to go there…

Exactly. Just take a gander at how stupid loaded they are at RB, especially sophomores and freshmen https://247sports.com/college/georgia/Season/2020-Football/ScholarshipDistribution/
-
@FarmerJayhawk I know it is absurd. It is amazing how many athletes the top tier of college FB accumulate.
Clayton would just be a monster grab for Les. I feel like it would be that signature recruit that might open the flood gates to better players for KU. ( assuming they produce on the field)
-
For sure. Especially given we’re weak at RB after this year beyond Pooka. I like Dom but he hasn’t shown it quite yet. Velton Gardner is more of a gadget type guy. And I’m not sure exactly what we have in Jaylin Richardson. I do know I’d love to RS him.

exactly - -that’s why I kinda like our chances - - I love this guy - -a true stud - - and with his connection with Pooka – and pooka follows him on twitter - -so I think the friendship is both ways.
Pretty simple – he could go to Georgia and stand and just be ANOTHER - -guy waiting for a shot - -OR come to KU be with his buddy and be one of the main guys - -have no doubt he be seeing a lot of snaps - -saying a decision maybe coming soon. - - ROCK CHALK ALLD AY LONG BABY

Then if GOD smile upon us and some how we could convince the de-commit from LSU to come here 4 * defensive tackle - - we be moving right along. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Woodrow We can’t get him. If we do, the NCAA would have a noose around Miles’ neck immediately because the only way good football players would come to KU is if there is “inappropriate” hi-jinks going on.

Possible walk-on and year 2 scholly https://247sports.com/Player/Quentin-Skinner-46094672/

OH LOOK OUT lol - - -the Mad Hatter - - back in the Boot this Weekend , I’M SURE he hitting on our boy Clayton - - get him Les - - tell him to come join of the rest of the Louisiana Animals - -would love to get this kid - - - were right there - -just needs that last little push - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Keenan Hambrick decommitted. Not a huge loss. I think there was a numbers crunch we wanted him to greyshirt.

I saw that , and we all know there is going to be those de-commits - - it’s ok - -saw where there have been other programs asking about him - -that’s the way things are with Football - -it was a verbal and until that signature is on the dotted line, it’s just the Nature of the game. - -Don’t get me wrong I fully understand that you know that – just saying.
It’s just to bad that after a kid announces , that other schools can’t respect that decision and back off.
Yet it’s just part of the recruiting game. I can just hear other Schools pitches against us and the reasoning they tell these kids NOT to be a part of KU. - Football is: - - why would you want to be a part of such a dumpster fire? - -come to our more established school in football a chance to be seen -: - -Basketball is : - -why would you want to go to a school that is about to be hit hard with sanctions & probation - -and good chance of not even being allowed in the tourney - - - VULTURES that is how it works.
Like you say not a huge loss - -will be more I’m sure , surprised actually hasn’t been more already - -it’s ok - -hopefully just opens a spot for Clayton lol. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Honestly… I think we have a pretty good shot at him. It’ll take a couple dominos to fall right but KU can get him.

@FarmerJayhawk Game changer if we get him.

I agree with you - - I feel we have a pretty good chance. - -Hearing a lot that Basically it comes down to KU & Georgia. - -Also heard that Georgia has already gotten a higher ranked running back - -possibly two commits for that position
My big thing is - - If Clayton has already decided that he was headed to Georgia - - - then why hasn’t he just come out and already announced? - - I’m committing to the University of Georgia. - if he has made up his mind - seen /read/and heard things , may seem trifle/little tiny things - but still. - Have heard him and Pooka are pretty close friends - - Pooka follows him on twitter & Visa Versa. - - We know he isn’t going to LSU - - he has came out and talked about how this was his final months in Louisiana -would be really sweet to have that Dual could cause some real havoc - -keeping fingers crossed. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I seen this nothing huge - -but ya probably better then Hambrick - -still holding out hope for Clayton. - -seen some game film with him off his twitter - -mercy the kid is a beast
-
@BShark not sure if he’s an upgrade since I haven’t watched any tape yet but certainly fills that spot. I still wonder how many spots are left. I think Grimm and Pearson are walk ons in year one, will be on scholarship after. Not sure about anyone else. I think we have approximately 21 IC’s for 2020 since we pulled a few into 2019 to bolster this year’s numbers. Unclear if we’ll pull any from 2021.
-
Man Shaad at it- -teasing lol - re-tweeting pics of him in KU uniform, -The tweet is the pic of him in the KU uniform and stating LEGIT - - - then he post about this dual would be basically lethal - -thinking pretty much talking about him and Pooka. - - - I know he and Pooka are pretty good friends and follow one another - - mercy I just got this feel thinking we got a very legit shot - -I want this guy bad - - almost as bad as I wanted Devon in Basketball - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Big time visitor for the KSU game, former UNC QB Cade Fortin. Will be eligible fall 2020. https://247sports.com/college/kansas/Article/Former-North-Carolina-QB-Cade-Fortin-talks-recent-Vanderbilt-official-visit-and-plans-for-more-137442038/

@FarmerJayhawk Not too big on transfer QBs but in this case the guy that won the job there is really good so this guy might be okay.

Yep. Watched every snap of UNC football this year and Howell has a legit chance to win a Heisman in his time at Carolina. I watched Fortin a couple times live last year. Dude can really play.

Going to have two OL decommit today. Not great.
-
Yikes. That is not a position where we can have decommits.

@FarmerJayhawk @Woodrow Ugh. Sounds like Stoefon was a moving on decision from the staff. Who is the second?

Yeah, Stoefen was injury-related. Tommy Brandt is the 2nd
-
@FarmerJayhawk What is the deal with Brandt? Is the staff expecting to get a couple other guys to replace them?
