Title: An early recruiting class to make Ron Prince blush....
Post by: WavetheWheat on June 26, 2010, 09:34:49 AM
9 kids in and here are the competing offers for them....

East Carolina
Memphis
Ohio
Tulsa (3 different kids)
Louisiana Tech
New Mexico (2 different kids)
New Mexico State
Southern Miss
Wyoming (2 different kids)
Colorado State
Florida State
Hawaii
Nevada
Georgia Southern
Louisiana Lafayette

Incredible.  I can't imagine even being about to find 9 kids willing to commit that don't have ONE SINGLE OFFER from another Big XII school.  Is this scary smart or what? 

What do I get to read about?   How T.Gill and Co. are much better judges of talent.   If he wouldn't have gobbled these guys up now they would have gotten "big time" offers.   Blah Blah Blah.

KU's recruiting class is solid, especially the recent o-line commitments.  If KU can get Darrian Miller back in the fold, this class has a chance to be really good.

this will never happen.  love his optimism, it's almost sickening.  He sounds like our smug fans who believe everything will be great.  granted 99% of what he basis ku's awesomeness in football is compared to what we are doing, kind of small time thinking imo.

Why the meltdowns are so fracking impressive.

Congrats man, you deserve it.  That top-10 weight room was probably key in getting such a strong class for Gill's first year.

Agreed.  It would take a huge coaching disaster to not finish in top 25 with this talent.

Don't see the problem.  Gill and staff are obviously superior talent evaluators and have got in on these kids before the big boys.  If you watch the videos you can clearly see they are mostly "diamonds in the rough".  All you can hope is that they stay loyal when the "big boys" come calling.  Also, stars are meaningless.  They just give stars to recruits of "big time" schools.  I'd rather have a 3-star kid who has something to prove than a 5-star kid who thinks he's entitled.  You've got to consider the "right fit" as well.  Big time schools probably cooled on these guys when they committed to KU.  Securing the border.

You have a great history owning Tulsa.  In fact, Tulsa and SW Missouri State were KU's only two wins during their 2-10 season in 2002.  Actually, Tulsa was their lone win over a 1-A team.  I remember listening to that game on the radio at the time hoping KU would lose sooooo bad.   :grin:

In think the only question left is what kind of track stars were these guys.  I'm assuming elite.  This means that they're guaranteed to be good players.

If you are going by rankings, KU's is still behind K-State.  Hang in there though, not every one can recruit with the Del Miller's of the world.

Quote from: Maurice Couch
"I'm down to South Carolina and Tennessee. I'm going to wait until I go visit Tennessee to make my decision."

When asked if he had indeed informed the media that he had committed to Tennessee, Couch said that it was true, but that he was no considering himself committed to the Vols yet.

"Yeah, but I'm not ready yet."

K-State's class is benefitting from the Jeremy Crabtree 4-star juco bump.  Just be honest with yourself for once.

So you are going with a conspiracy theory on why your all-star recruiting staff is losing in the recruiting rankings to the WRSOAT?  Also, the Brown brothers aren't factored into these rankings.  But by all means, KU's class is way better, "and it's not even close".
