2020 Football Recruiting



  • Caldwell is going to sign, so that’s a big win for us. I think Bryant and Harden are JuCo’s. Both are bounceback candidates if they get things in order. Hearing the staff is still on the hunt for a grad transfer QB and will be very aggressive in the portal. I think MacVittie is a much better fit for Dearmon’s scheme than Koennig’s so we’ll see if he can win the job. Otherwise, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    I’m not sure who they think they can get still as far as grad transfers go… The realistic options look pretty slim.

    Anthony Brown is an intriguing one for me.

    Brown, Chase Brice, Peyton Ramsey, and the guy from Alcorn St. who’s name escapes me. More will shake loose this spring and summer when guys know they’ll graduate



  • Bryant officially decommitted. Headed JuCo due to grades.



  • Les still going big game hunting right before NSD. https://247sports.com/player/philip-blidi-46076581/



  • Another assistant - -OUT. Eckler , gone headed to North Texas. - boy the turnover in Staff has been crazy

    Lots of turnover after the first year is fairly common. Staffs typically stabilize after year 3.

    ahhh , ok. - -Was hearing also that there were some that wasn’t to happy with him. He handled field goals & punts and such ?

    He effectively got canned



  • I think we close with Bryant, Dotson, Caldwell, and Blidi tomorrow. Really nice job closing from the staff.



  • Missed on Blidi, but I think we get Anokwuru, Dotson, and Bryant.



  • @FarmerJayhawk so weird. Why manufacture drama only to sign with tech

    No idea. There were rumors about grades. He’s an interesting kid too. Lives in a group home in a rough part of the state, no parents. Doesn’t really do interviews.



  • Got Dotson



  • Feel really good about Anokwuru, should be official within the hour. I think there’s a good chance we get Bryant yet too.



  • @FarmerJayhawk whatshisface on the phog seems to disagree on both.



  • @BShark I would be very surprised if we missed on Anokwuru. I know Bryant’s plan is to sign today but we’ll see



  • Bryant is like Harden imo JUCO.

    We appear to have signed Danny Robinson, never heard of him.



  • Walk-on OT from How Blue is Your Valley NorthSouth Westish



  • Scott put in a CB pick for Bryant to KU, and he usually gets his info from the coaches. So they expect something. Whether he qualifies or not is TBD but they must feel good enough about it to offer him a counter.



  • Anokwuru is in



  • Big time



  • Bryant is still planning on signing this afternoon, with Kansas.



  • There’s Bryant!



  • @FarmerJayhawk said in 2020 Football Recruiting:

    There’s Bryant!

    HUGE, that’s awesome to hear , just saw that. - - must have decided it was worth taking the shot , hope he qualify’s now - -sweet pick up. I was pretty sad to see where he WASNT coming. This makes my day. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • While we might not have had that one BIG TIME name stopper , the BIGH news is ALL FRESHMAN , guys that can come in an put in their 3-4 years and develop. Still some very solid players in this group.

    Like another poster mentioned , from 4-10 class in the big twelve, there isn’t really a huge gap between the talent - -4-10 pretty close, it’s all a matter now of how the staff can develop these players. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    We appear to have signed Danny Robinson, never heard of him.

    I guess Harden committed to UNI. - -what ? ? ? - -bet he never makes Campus , like you said he is Juco Bound

    you should go to Vegas - -place ALL your bets lol



  • All in all, couldn’t have really asked for more today other than Blidi, but Anokwuru isn’t a scrub and arguably plays a spot we need more (edge vs. 5 tech).

    Just got a whiff yesterday Bryant was planning on signing today so thought I’d call it. Recruiting is weird.



  • Also, first class since Gill’s last one that’s all high school. That’s big time for rebuilding.

    And call it you did. lol - - I thought he was lost. - -If he can qualify I think when it is all said and done, he is going to be one to really watch.



  • Well checked it out and 247 has us ranked like 56th class. - While that is far from great, it sure is headed in the right direction and better then we have had in awhile right ? - -Again ALL FRESHMEN and then you add in these PWO’S and then all them colored shirts lol - -hell I’m not sur what all the different colored shirts even mean lol - as long as there is no PURPLE SHIRTS we good lol. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    Definitely a positive step. We beat 10 P5 teams as of now, which is big. Need to step it up a notch in 21 but I like where we finished.



  • Get some more wins and staple more classes like this together and we will see meaningful progress.

    for sure a positive step up. - -247 has us at 53 - -BUT rivals has us at 48th and 8th in the Big 12 - -I can accept that for this year for sure



  • Just read this off TOS. Saw where Paul Matuvao-Peialir a 6’4 305 lb OT from Baylor had entered the Transfer Portal - he committed to Baylor in 2019, the only reason curious is we were in on him , recruiting him originally was recruiting him as a Defensive Tackle.

    He was considering us before he ended up at Baylor as he chose them over us and Missouri , just curious to see if the staff might still be interested and reach out to him again? - Always use OL?DL big boys, curious to see if they might put any feelers out. - -Would he have to sit a yr ? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
