Landed OT Christien Hawks from lovely Norton, Kansas! I really like the kid. 4 sport athlete, hard worker, and from the good old MCL. Great pickup.
We have the makings of a really solid class , now we just have got to keep from a lot of defections. - -Dec 16th is still a long ways away. However wit this staff we have , I REALLY do feel like these kids are pretty solid with their pledges, I just think the type of kids this staff is recruiting really do want to play for the Mad Hatter and staff -you can see it coming , were going to get this turned around.
The group of the 2022 that we are in on are real solid - we just need to finalize the deal - -get some W’S on the field , the level of talent we are now getting is like and day between Beaty & Miles - -ROCK CHALK BABY

I like his size. At 6-5, he has the frame to add the kind of weight necessary to play P5. He will probably need a redshirt year to put on that kind of size, but he could be a very nice five year player.

Saw where we got another CB pick for Alexander today from a Oklahoma Insider - -kinda leary about TCU - -hope we can land this guy - -believe he is committing this coming Wednsday
-
Farmer - -what’s happened to our commit today - - still nothing, was supose to happen today - - - D "Marion Alexander whats the deal ?

It’ll happen this evening.
-
I like the fact that Alexander played WR and S as a sophomore. That means he can run and cover, which makes him a good fit as a LB in the Big 12 defending the spread. He’s also big enough that he can add 15-20 pounds and probably not lose anything in the speed and quickness department. He could be a star if he develops.
-
Well we landed Tommy Dunn , be interesting where they play him. - -6"4 - - 285 , listed as a DE ,some think maybe NT - others think they may take some of the weight off and reshape add muscle and keep him as a Edge Rusher , I think decent pick up- - might surprise some people. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Another couple DB’s this week: James Wright and Shad Dabney. Really stocking up on guys because you might as well given there’s not really an 85 man cap next year.

I could be wrong but looking like the guys are really hitting the defensive side of the ball hard - - DB’S Safty’s - -right ? - - fine with me

For sure. Still looking at adding another DB and DE as well. Then it’s probably best player available/QB.

that’s good to hear. Think they are doing a pretty good job trying to get this defense turned around.
You know & I know it’s Coach saying it but he says he actually believes the O-Line can be better then last years, they listed the hgt & wght of the guys - -got some pretty big boys , got guys that seen quality playing time last year. One kid is like the 6’8 and like 295 ?
Actually think the offensive skilled in really good shape , depth at running back - pretty good group of receivers. we just need that QB - been a sore spot the last 2-3 years , although Stanley did Adquate job - Man hope Easter or maybe the Freshman we have this year hopefully will be able to get a firm grip on that Position. - - I just feel we NOT that far from turning the corner on this dang thing. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ok guys, not recruiting but a question on numbers. Going to show my lack of knowledge here so looking for help.
Ok I hear and fully believed we were really short in numbers yet when I look at our 20-21 roster , we total list of players of 118 kids. - -So how’s that if we are short?
Broke it down we have listed on roster : Red Shirt Freshmen ( 15 ) - - -Freshmen ( 39 )- - - Soph ( 16 )- - - Junior ( 22 )- - - Red Shirt Juniors ( 1 )- - Senior ( 24 ) - - - Red Shirt Senior ( 1 )
So with these numbers how are we short I know the answer is pretty simple some one please help set me straight.
One thing for sure I think you can sure see when the new staff came in -looks to me like w are really young- - 70 of the players listed are either Red Shirt Freshmen - - Freshmen - -or Soph’s - -that make a solid roster building bodies making men right ? - - thanks guys. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Only around 80 are on scholarship and there’s some pretty significant class imbalance. I broke some of it down in more detail in the state of the roster thread

Thank you so much buddy , I knew someone could set me straight on this - that’s why I love this site , someone doesn’t know the answer - -you’ll find one.
Hey on a seperate note , did you get a chance to watch Easters last night. - -I watched the whole game, gotta say pretty exciting High School game. - If you did, what did you think.
I think he has a fairly decent chance to be a pretty solid QB. - -looks to me like he throws a pretty decent deepball maybe a little more consistence, - -BUT he had a very nive 2nd half I think sure he has things to work on but nothing that can’t be fixed - - maybe making some better reads , looking of receives , and things, pretty confident Pro style QB right ?
The big thing is hanging on to him - -what did YOU think ?

No problem!
I watched the first half. He’s got a decent arm and good deep touch. I didn’t love his footwork or short accuracy. I think those are somewhat correctable. I think he’s solid on KU, but I don’t know if KU is solid on him. I think we’d take another QB in a heartbeat if there was another one out there. We tried to get Landon Rodgers a month or so ago before he committed again to Arkansas.

This isn’t concerning our 2021 recruiting guys BUT is football related.
Kinda bummed today , confused/frustrated. This has to do with football & the COVID -19 BUT not College. It’s Kansas High School football.
I just want to voice my opinion/view and I could be wrong , I could be dead wrong and I can accept that. I myself am not saying that I’m100 % Right BUT.
OK, So I heard last night and then again this morning - - just another case with how the COVID-19 is affecting high school football here in Kansas. The KSHAA had been looking at making teams more their seasons to spring. Yet I think they left it to the individual districts. - - Well her it is , Wichita Schools had voted to Cancel all fall sports and play in the spring because of the COVID - - OK might be best.
Well- - - -guess what ? - -they overturned that decision and are NOW playing this fall. I MYSELF - - - think this could be a Big Mistake , a bad decision , might be like screwing with a keg of dynamite. - -This is where I could very well be wrong. But I just think they are messing with fire. with the COVID running so rampant.
They overturned their decision they said after 1000’s of E-mails and Messages from parents, kids and such almost demanding to let the kids play. - -I get it - -I really do , I can see their point. for some it’s their last year of high school ball - -the last chance for the parents to see their babies play - - -so I get it – BUT I also think it’s also kind of selfish on their part - - it only takes ONE - - -ONE positive test from a player and this thing will spread like wild fire , like that’s exactly what we need. - Again I could be wrong and it’s just that random though and opinion , there is no winner in this thing. - - Guess we just better hope this doesn’t backfire on these kids - -again it’s not all about just YOU. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Certainly an interesting finding. Nothing causal yet, but the association is eye-opening. Would like to see a control group of non-infected student athletes to get a baseline comparison.

@FarmerJayhawk another take

@FarmerJayhawk wow!
I’m just glad the numbers were much lower than they originally reported!

Well little confused on this , not sure . - - 247 has 2 CB’S for us today on one has been listed as a CB & the other when you pull his profile list him as an Athlete.
That’s not what I’m confused on though. The player is Omarion Dicken a 6 ft like I said one has him as a CB , the other Athlete from Prescott Arizona - -thing is when you go to 247 CB’s - it shows for 2021 picks - - yet when you pull this kids profile up says he is 2022 so not sure is he 21 - or 22 ? Shows KU as warm all other schools cool.
KU , Colorado , Louisiana , Louisiana Tech , & Tulane -

Keon Coleman decommitted. Which I guess isn’t all that surprising given our offensive (in both senses) showing so far.

Tough to convince guys that it’ll get better when you look this shitty. Not even a single thing positive to point at as far as I’m concerned.
-
Ok this is primarily question for Farmer , another bud that follows the KU recruiting here in football pretty close or so it seems - - but anyone if they can help answer that would be awesome. - -Farmer so tell me what is this about the possibility of a late recruitment commit of a QB ?
Kids name is Conrad Hawley out of Peculiar Mo. - -I need your help breaking this kid down I follow recruiting pretty close but honestly I don’t see a lot of things that other could - - just not skilled enough to be able to tell yes or no.
Hope you can break this kid down for me Farmer, I’ll tell you what I DID see and see what you think OK : - - 1st thing i see is size 6’6 really good size for QB seems like even with our current QB - his height is a hinderence having a lot of passes batted back -Hawley being 6’6 seems like for sure wouldn’t have that problem.
2nd : Seems like he has decent mobility evading sacks , 3rd seems like he is pretty decent throwing on the run - -rollouts and such
4th thing I noticed seems like he can find his receivers pretty well no matter on the run or not pretty decent accuracy - - seems like he throws a decent to say the least deep ball on the run or sitting up. - -So now here is the question - - Am I just insanely off on the kid - -fairly close ? - -or am i just missing it on this kid ?
Ok Farmer or anyone feel free how do you break this kids techniques is he worth shot? - - guess we offered am I just totally off? - - As for me I kinda liked what I saw.
Also guess we offer a what they called ? A partial? - to the kid from Perry Lecompton - -William Welch. - -Anyone have opinion on him ? - - let me know what you think. – Thanks. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer67 I think you’re pretty much spot on, my man. There are some traits there to work with. Huge frame. Could easily add 20 pounds of good weight. That’ll help the arm strength. It gets there, but he tends to leave it high. I like the athleticism too. Shows some escapability. Not a guy that could probably play next year or even the year after, but he’s an intriguing prospect. I believe we could land him if we really push.

Looks like we might be in good shape to pick up 2 nice additions. - -247 has CB picks for us today:
1st guy is Garfield Lawrence a 6’4 240 pound SDE from Tyler Texas we picked up 2 CB’S from 247 others on the list are Arkansas - - -Colorado - - Houston & K-state would be a very nice pick up - -number 505 in the Nation
The 2nd one is and we heard about him the other day: - -Conrad Hawley a 6’6 QB out of Peculiar Missouri picked up a CB from him would like him too.
Both were VIP Scoop picks so that would be some nice positive news. - -Hawley great size Pro style QB ^’^ has some nice touch - just won their State title - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Looks like we got them both. Mbow would be the last piece if we could flip him from (presumably) Purdue.

Yeah, I honestly didn’t think they’d get him
. I think Hawley and Easters will compete once they’re here. Sounds like they’re just throwing numbers at QB until they find a couple they like.

Which, if we get 2/3 of them, we should end up 7th or 8th in the league. Really nice work.

One name to keep in mind. Jace Ruder, current RS Soph at UNC is likely transferring. Why should we care? Well, Jace is from Norton, Kansas (very much FarmerJayhawk territory) and I’ve been hearing rumors from around the Mid-Continent League that our boy is coming home because he misses wearing blue. And he got recruited over. Twice. But it doesn’t matter. I’d look for him to be a Jayhawk if we can open a spot this spring. If it means asking Easters to blue, I’m all for it. If he doesn’t take it, we’ll still have two true freshmen next year (Daniels and Easters). Comes from a great family of diehard Jayhawk fans.

That would be good. On another note another QB that’s been mentioned is Hawley - -have you heard anymore on him ? - - 6’6 hard to replace length looks like he has nice touch. You think there is Any shot ?

Can never have too many QB’s. At worst you get one transfer if he can’t get above a backup role.

Update: can confirm Jace is transferring and graduating in December. Quite impressive to finish a BBA from Kenan-Flagler in 2.5 years. Also, will have 4 years of eligibility. Hit the RS trifecta: normal, medical, covid.

If he does transfer and goes anywhere but KU that is going to be a big kick in the junk. I am not saying he would be a savior but he is better than anyone on the roster and could be much more.
