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.

So you think he comes? - - yes or no ?
Idk if we’ll land him but I think we’ll be heavily involved. He wants his MBA and KU’s b school is legit. Plus, big KU family. Beaty royally screwed up there and Les and co. will have to do some repair work.
-
So I guess my question now becomes , I saw/read that Hawley is holding off and will not be committing in the early period. - - My question is concerning KU and with us getting CB’ do you think he picked up on the fact that we might be having other QB’S commit such as the North Carolina kid/Jace ? - -or considering us and then saw off TOS that there was a QB possibly rumor going to be visiting this weekend - - do you think it might make Hawley cool off - IF he was seriously considering us ?

I think he’s just waiting to see how things play out. If we take a transfer QB in January, I think that probably means we wouldn’t take 3 QB’s in the class. We may offer a grayshirt or something but I think he’s going to have better opportunities than that.

Is January the early signing date this year for the football ?

It’s in mid-December like normal. But a transfer QB could just show up and not sign a LOI
-
Signing period starts next Wednesday. I expect 21ish signees. Only guy not currently committed but I do expect to sign is De’Kedrick Sterns. The huge nugget is about 8 will join in January.

Ben Easters coming in Early - -I’m kind of looking for a surprise , just get a gut feel someone we as John Q Public rally has little info on right now that the staff is gonna pop on us - just a gut feel
-
Well that’s good news . - - We got De’Kedrick Sterns back. – -Said he WLL be signing early and enrolling early will be here in Jan. - Has added some weight up to 280.
Kid is a big get for us. Said one reason he had de-committed was the firing of Meadows , and the statement pertains to what I’ve been saying about ALL our coach’s
He said they fired Meadows and he was like man I don’t want to go to a school and not know who I’m going to be playing for in 2-3 years. - - You just can’t keep a wide open revolving door with Coachs - -you will NEVER get any kind of continuity - Goes for ALL our Coach’s
People think simple solution - -oh fire the Coach every 2 years or so, no recruit is going to walk into a situation with a history like that - -alot of kids commit to the Coach not necessarily the School. - -Any ways glad he is back use all these kind of guys w can get got a real chance to contribute immediately/ - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
well 9 confirmed so far and signed. - One thing I noticed. Majik Rector was like the 1st one to verbal coming into this year and now signed, give the kid credit verballed along time ago and stuck with it. - - I have to like a kid like this now days the way things go with kids. - -I know not sure if he will see the field much at leaast early but still have to like kids that make a decision and stik with that decision. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
19+ are signing early. Grays is my only maybe at this point. Lawrence is signing late. Also, might be a surprise later in the week…

Ok, need some help here. - -We got a commitment from a Punter, which is good seeing as how Thompson entered the portal - - - -it was a PWO which I think is good for KU because the kid looks like got a good leg which I think if things continue he will get plenty of chance to use - -BUT is the # 21 punter it says - has a 5 * punter rating - - 3* kicker rating - -Grayden Addison
So here is my question cause I am not sure - -don’t quite understand , what is the PWO exactly it’s a partial Scholi right ? - -or what exactly how does that work ? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Preferred walk-on’s don’t get any financial aid since partials aren’t allowed for football (it’s a headcount sport). They just don’t have to go through try-outs to get a spot on the team.
-
Also, 3* Safety Edwin White signed. We flipped him from Tennessee.

Yes. After a year he can go on scholarship and not use an initial counter. He’ll count agains the 85 but not the 25 counter cap.

Any time my man. Also, White signing bumped us to #6 in the Big 12. It’s a minor miracle we could put together a class like this after getting housed all year.

I know buddy ,but we just got to stay strong they ae assembling looks to be a really salty set of secondary and such.- -I just wish we could still land another QB - -High School, A transfer whatever a solid one at that. - -Whatever happened to the QB transfer from N carol haven’t heard anymore - - maybe still have a shot at Hawley -hoping anyways
-
I think we have a good shot at Hawley. KU has been on him the longest and probably wants him more than any school.
-
You know as I sit back and think how people get down on this team , people get frustrated and I understand and get PO’D about how bad we are - - I get that it is frustrating for sure but then I have to try and rationalize put things in perspective.
Thing is we were/are just so down I mean really down and people know this but people just want success now , while that would be nice that’s just NOT going to happen. I took more then a couple of years to get us in the position we are in now , it’s going to take more then a couple of years to get out of it.
When you look at thins really step back and look outside /in - - you figure we had 21 true Freshmen play in at least 1 game this Season and 11 true Freshmen make at least 1 Start this Season - - That’s a lot - -really young. The good thing about this is , these kids were Freshmen and got a year of big time D-1 experience and they all will be back with that experience this coming year
You put those Freshmen with the Corp of Freshmen we got coming in we got one hell of a group 2-3 yrs in going to be really solid. A big thing is these are ALL High School kids like Les said building from the ground up, only way to go , to do it right.
I think we have a core of kid that really want to change this culture get this turned around some workers coming in with a great mind set. They want to be part of that group that turns this around with Les. - -We have 5 Freshmen out of this class that is enrolling early want to get to work, these kids are : - OJ Burroughs - -DB , - - Ben Easters- - QB ,- - Jayson Gilliom - - S ,- - Devonte Wilson - - DB , - - Larson Workman - - OL , - - I know it’s hard for the change but got to realize patience is a plus - I just feel it’s coming you can see pieces , better talent on this squad now just got to stay strong - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

KU is his only P5 offer so at this point it would be a surprise if they didn’t get him. Personally I’d rather them find someone in the portal that can play 2-4 years.

Hawley will be able to play that - - -he has great size throws the deep ball pretty decent stands 6’6 can run some - -I think he would be a good adition
-
Hey FarmerJayhawk , we should run away from this as fast we an - - ya think ?
I read where we made the final 3 for this kid. Quaydarius Davis Wide Receiver 6’193 - -is a 4 Star going to commit in Feb. - -Florida & Oklahoma State the other two.
Normal circumstances I would be excited But this kid has Committed 3 times & de-committed 3 times , sounds like a cancer/basket case, some mentioned he might have qualify problems
Don’t think we would really have to worry about it anyway even with being in the final 3 - - he needs to show his talents and we have no QB to get him the ball let him go.
Is the # 105 prospect in the class of 2021 - -he would be the 4th highest recruit for Florida - - Would be KU’S highest ranked player ever with KU football - - Pooka was # 272 & Neal is # 213.
Rated the 177th over all 247 composite - -24th best wide receiver & 28th best player coming out of Texas. - Normally I’d love to have a kid like this , BUT something is funny about this
Huge list of offers - -Alabama , Georgia - - LSU - - Nebraska - - Oregon – Texas A & M – Texas — & USC. - -So what’s your thoughts about this Famer? - -what would you do?

A couple other things to watch. The OT prospect from Charlotte announces on Monday. I think it’ll be Arkansas but I’ve been told no decision is final yet. Tim Grunhard’s kid is in the portal from ND. KU will be in on him. He could probably walk in and be our starting C.

Got him! This class now ranks 31 on Rivals. After going 0-9, this is a minor miracle

Odds Davis makes it to Lawrence?

I think pretty good. He’ll be a blue or grey so he’s got some time this summer to polish it up if needed.

Some moving parts here, but Conrad Hawley may announce for KU as early as Tuesday and be an early enrollee. Some schools are still trying to get him to hold off.

Man could we use that or what? - - -I think he is a quality QB ? - -we just need a little break get a at least QUALITY QB - -keep your fingers crossed hard Farmer even double crosses

His grandmother says he is coming to KU

Welp we got Hawley I’m good with that for sure , good size 6’5 - least wouldn’t or shouldn’t be having balls slapped back in his face , having trouble seeing over his linemen.
If anything I think this gives us a solid core to work with . We now have Daniels who has a year of P-5 experience Still considered a Freshman , now we have Easters coming in and I myself kind of like the kid looks solid to me nice deep ball & now we have Hawly I just feel even at this point this trio is better then what we have had.
These guys have time to develop instead of some grad transfer that will be gone after a year , or some dam Juco that is suppose to be the 2nd coming. - -Gives these guys time to develop , I like the trio could work into something.
Now the key is giving them some hogs that will protect these guys and give them time to make their reads and time for plays to develop instead of spending 3/4 of their counts running for their lives. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
