OK Farmer buddy relying o your insight /knowledge here buddy - -give me your take on these guys Portal guys 1st is Taj Harris- -been hearing a lot about him could give us big help - how we sitting with him? - heard much ? 2nd is Gilyard - - mercy I would love this guy buddy think he also would be huge heard Coach was having in home visit this week with him - -for me I think he should be worked on Huge any takes with him bud ?
Finally 3rd: - now this guy is a toss from left field and probably staff not even looking that hard - - could be wrong but seeing this kid and reading about him OMG would be sweet , probably shows how much I REALLY know. He is a running back could be an A J Dillion type - -big bruiser Tye Edwards a 6’3 - 230 pound RB out of Hutch Juco - -when is the last time we had an RB with that kind of size - true bruiser saw where he ran for 210 yards and 2 TD’S for Hutch in the Salt City Bowl. - -what you think bud. Had to laugh one poster said -put Casey as the lead blocker in front of Edwards that my friend would be a huge back field lol. - -Another poster says could you imagine you think a linebacker would be as quick to wanna make that tackle lol
So could you give me your insight on these guys Sir , my blood is starting to flow, can you believe people actually getting some excitement about KU football - -early signing right around the corner things starting to heat up appreciate it for info buddy thanks
Gilyard is announcing the 17th apparently. So I think we’re in a really good spot, but he hasn’t decided where/if he’s visiting this weekend. Could be big. Let’s hope he doesn’t. Immediate starting MLB for us next year. Taj, probably too early to really tell since I think he’s visiting other places yet. But KU seems to be the frontrunner now. Also helps we brought in a coach he’s very familiar with. There are some academic things that have to get sorted out, so it might be a situation where he can’t get here until summer, which would really suck. But because of the covid year he does have 2 to play.
We aren’t involved with Edwards. Not to say we aren’t chasing RBs yet. We’re hard after Hassan Hall from Louisville and Seyvion Morrison from Nebraska. We’re looking for a burner who can also return kicks. If APH stays he’s the big bruiser of the bunch. Hishaw is a load as well.
Finally, a bonus nugget! MJ Griffin (S from Temple) was here last weekend and had a great time. He’s between us and Louisville, and is visiting there this coming weekend. Would be a great pair with him and Kenny.
Dam that’s sad , wish we were in with Edwards guy looks like a beast , even though were not what’s your impression on him? - I could be way off but just think he would really help. As we found out never have enough RB’S the way this yr turned out with injuries. - So what’s your opinion oh Hall ? - I think Morrison would be a pretty good add also.
Kenny out there doing some heavy recruiting for us - -love the kid, so is this Griffin legit ? - can always use them too. Thank you buddy for your time on this
He’s a nice situational player, not sure he’s starter level in the Big 12. If we had the full 25 spots I might take a flyer. Hall and Morrison are pretty similar; they aren’t huge guys but aren’t shrimps like Pooka either. But they can both really fly and Hall at least was a very good kick returner at Louisville. I suspect Morrison would do the same here.
I think Griffin is good. At least a pretty big upgrade over Gilliom or whoever we’d start at that spot. He seems to me like a hybrid S/LB so we’d play him, Logan, and Burroughs together in a lot of pass situations.
Anytime my dude. Always up to talk ball
-
Looking and sounding like this weekend gonna be a huge recruiting weekend for us, great weekend for recruits going to the basketball game - -the Phog is gonna be jumpin
-
@jayballer67 oh yeah, I think there are a handful of transfers in to visit. Craig Young (LB/S) from Ohio St will be in the house, so will Mike Smith (LB/Commit). I believe Sevion Morrison (RB) too. Plus a bunch of 2023 HS guys. They’ve gotten a visit from a player committed elsewhere. I don’t have permission to share his name because of that, but he’s a DB from B1G country.

Sounds exciting/hopeful/promising possibly? -fingers crossed. Hope we can show these guys how the Ku fans love the athletes. It would be awesome if somehow - -someway we could get them convinced that THIS is the place to call home. Would love to be able to land somehow Young & Morrison. -those two by themselves would be really sweet.
Fully understandable about not being able to release name , but I gotta love that he is on the defensive side of the ball in the secondary. - -We got a chance - -that’s all we can ask for, if he is committed but stil coming to take a visit here - - -we got a chance , he must not be totally totally edged in stone yet - that’s all we can do POUNCE. I surely appreciate you insight/info Farmer - -maybe if we both keep our fingers crossed maybe - - just maybe we can lure some of these athletes. - -
I heard plus just got a feel that 2023 is going to be really big for us heard were in good with some really good talent - -but NOW let’s get these 2022 guys build that foundation some more. - Love the info - - - thanks so much Farmer keep it coming. - -I think this coming week could be interesting

I guess I can post it now THAT HE’S COMMITTED LETS GOOOOO https://247sports.com/player/kalon-gervin-78347/

Gervin is immediately our best corner and maybe our best defensive player. Secondary will look much different come spring ball. 2 years to play: 2018- RS, 2019 - play, 2020 - didn’t count, 2021 (RS SO), so 2022 he’ll be a RS junior eligibility wise

Small update here. Prunty was in my neck of the woods (UNC) today. Dre Bly (UNC CB coach) is an elite recruiter in Virginia. I suspect he’ll go there if he can get a waiver but idk. He’s committing before Christmas.

personally I would like to give the guy another chance , but realize it’s up to the team a lot. We have a chance to have a pretty dam salty secondary.
Heard any more news Farmer about like Morrison or others from this weekend. Chomping at the bit here, hoping for some good news this week

Well Farmer I see Hickson’s mama making a stink about Ku recruiting another RB taking to twitter and going o ff - - Mercy, she can’t see what injuries can and did to that position. Her son needs to compete, if he is worried about the playing time- -I don’t think though it’s him - -it’s Mama , but like others have said probably gonna see him hit the portal pretty quick now

I wouldn’t worry too much about them. RB is probably our best spot.

And holy crap what a day! We got commitments from two more transfers, both will be in Lawrence in January. First, Craig Young, LB/S from Ohio State. I love the HS scout, “One of the fastest prospects in the Midwest, could play anything from receiver to safety to linebacker on the next level. Long athlete with intriguing upside, but very raw and inconsistent. Will need nurturing but has flashed crazy potential, a blow by you receiver with the traits to develop into a top pass rusher. Boom or bust prospect for the Buckeyes. Should be able to contribute immediately on special teams.”
I think he’s a legit 6’4, probably 225-230. Going to play A LOT. 3 years to play 2.
Next, Nolan Gorczyca, guard from Buffalo. Redshirted last year so will be a 4x4. 6’6 290. Probably will be over 3 bills by spring ball.
Only waiting really on one more spot, I think probably a DE.
-
-
Can never have enough QBs. Throwing numbers at it just increases the chance of finding a diamond in the rough.
I’m believing again. I think Lance can get this team bowling, though not next year.
-
@BShark Coach Z loooooooves him apparently. That, and he absolutely destroyed Virginia HS ball for 3 years. I suspect one of the frosh (Easters?) decides to move on.

Oh Farmer , do you hear that ? - -you feel it ? - -Thinking there is a storm brewin – and THAT storm is the Kansas Jayhawks baby lol - -not to far off in the distance a REAL storm brewing… The days of marking a automatic W when you play the Hawks - - IS OVER PERIOD.
How good does it feel to have a competent Coaching staff that knows what the hell they are doing ? - A staff that reconizes the pieces they need and go out and answers those needs. Farmer were on the verge - -were on the verge not saying were there but Buddy were coming and coming fast.
I am stoked to say the least. -Michigan State - - Ohio State – -Nebraska - - Buffalo - - Central Florida - - would these players even sniffed KU with previous staffs ? - -I think not this portal has been a huge g
game changer and 100 % benefited KU. Now I know were not gonna be contender this year BUT I think these other teams if they haven’t already better be ready -cause we coming to give out some ass whuppins and not taking names
One question Farmer with all these new players in the Seconddary does Potter get squeezed out ? - - I hope not buddy, potter plays his ass off hope they give him the chance to retain his spot instead of just handing the duties over - - ROCK CHALK BUDDY bRIGHT DAYS COMING

@FarmerJayhawk Do we know why Vasko is rated so low/doesn’t have any other big-time offers? Has the height and numbers. Seems like he has enough arm to play P5 football just watching a few highlights.
