@FarmerJayhawk said in 2022 Crootin:
@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/
WOW - - did I tell you - - WOW huge huge huge get was ranked in the 100’s Nationally and number 2 CB from Michigan - I’ll take a former Michigan State player almost any day of the week . & like you said - - -LET’S GO a huge possible weekend - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Dam Farmer this kid is a STUD over 30 P-5 coming out of High School , LSU , OU , Norte Dame , Florida < Michigan & him going to Michigan St- - - huge , huge , huge improvement for our secondary . hopefully this is only the begginning to an awesome weekend. - -I want in the end to be able to pick up Young and Morrison - -hey I can dream can’t I ? - -oh ya sounds like we pick up a kid for in the future for our punting and KO’S in the future we need one lol - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-

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

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.

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
