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

Absolutely destroyed VA high school ball. I need to watch him some. First glance I think he’s better than Easters.

love the way things are starting to roll for us. - - Still have to remember though we too have players that can/will transfer out as well as - - -transfer in. This portal is crazy , but loving it right now - – just like the Lil RedEngine thinking the motto – We think we can - -We think we can - - I KNOW we can huh buddy ? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY - - Need to secure young and let’s see Saddiq right would be sweet

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

I think Potter could be really good depth. Maybe he shifts back to outside LB.

Mike Smith just decommitted so that’s a spot

Officially done with College Football. As a FSU fan, I’m hanging it up. Hows KU recruiting going?
-
@BeddieKU23 Jackson State over Florida State?
-
Apparently. Deion is dead to me
-
@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.

Just praying he is a steal but I don’t get it either.
-
I’m hoping for a Josh Allan (Wyoming) or Carson Strong (Nevada) kinda steal. Both, I believe only had 1 D1 offer.

Or even Todd Reesing (though this Vasko kid has better measurables I think).

love the way he can throw on the run. I think he has pretty decent size what 6’3 ?. Was kind of surprised Hawley left us and entered the Portal. Between the two I thought it would be Easters that left.
So Kendricks and Hawley leaves - -Easters stays for now. I have no problem with Kendricks. He did the best he could for us when others hurt hope nothing but the best for him.- -I’m excited from what I’ve seen with Vasko

The dude is a corner so a corner wanting to play for and learn from arguably the greatest corner of all time shouldn’t be the most shocking flip ever.

He was committed to ODU forever. Virginia also had a bunch of covid restrictions for high school sports so I think it was a matter of people just not getting to see him and being committed to a G5
-
Third QB in the portal: Miles Fallin. I have a feeling he and Kendrick are just retiring, but since they’re in the portal technically we get extra initial counters.
-
Think Coach L and staff has done a good job finding guys to come , we have gotten some pretty dam good transfers Gervin ( Michigan State ) - - - Morrison ( Nebraska ) - - - Gorczyca ( Buffalo ) - -Young ( Ohio St ) - -Gilyard ( Central Florida ) - -these guys are guys that can help instantly giving depth - -our secondary could be pretty salty. - Still hearing lots of rumblings that Prunty is coming back quite possibly
Picked up a pretty decent QB I think Vasko. Read in the article where it said the reason he might not of had a lot of other offers was because they had a lot of covid restrictions - -all in all think we gonna be fine. Love how he is starting to make connections with more Kansas kids true they might not be big time but were getting in the door something previous staff refused to do burnt a lot of bridges but PWO’S for Kael Frakes from Lenexa & Grant Glasgow out of Lawrence.
Think we also got a sweet pick up in Kaleb Purdy - had offers from Iowa St - - K/State - - Michigan - - & Missouri to name some - -still got othes possible come Feb so I’m jacked lol
-
I would be FLOORED at this point if Prunty came back. Like head sewn to the carpet surprised.
All in all, I’m ok with what we got. It’s going to be a looooong 6 weeks making sure they all show up.
