Title: What a lot of you dumbasses don't even realize about KU's recruiting class

It's about to BLOW UP.  According to this guy, they are on the cusp of landing a long snapper who is invited to walk-on at Aurburn.

He’s so good that Auburn is inviting him to walk on and, after a visit to Kansas this weekend, he’s scheduled to check out Florida next week. For those who may have forgotten, Auburn won the national title this past season and Florida, well, they’ve won two titles in the past few years.

Many outlets have him ranked in the top three in the nation among long snappers, and, special teams or not, when you get a guy ranked in the top three in the country to come to your school, you play him.

Here’s the catch. We all know that four-star guys don’t always play like four-star guys and two-star guys occasionally turn into studs. The other thing that makes ranking classes so difficult is the fact that these sites and rankings rarely take into account the needs of each particular team.

This guy is so smart.

Matt Tait is awful.  He's like D. Scott, but he actually writes for a newspaper and not a fan site.

Of course, the Lawrence Journal World is basically a KU fan site and not an actual newspaper, so I guess there's no real difference.

Hopefully Snyds can show him tape of Adams long snapping, that should do the trick.

It's pretty obvious that 59-7 taught Gill the importance of a good long snapper.

It's got to impress any recruit knowing that ku's offensive brain trust managed to put an entire touchdown on the board against Chris Cosh's Purple Curtain.   

I suspect that singular ku td play is the highlight of the recruiting vists for those kids.
