KU picks up a few more commitments and moves ahead of K-State in the Rivals team rankings.
-
:bball:
-
Also, any good ones Beems?
-
Wow, thought Gill would recruit better.
-
Didn't know there were any teams behind us in the recruiting rankings. :dunno:
-

Yep. KU was able to steal a couple commitments from other schools. Brandon Bourbon, a 4-star RB who was committed to Stanford, committed to KU over the weekend. KU was also able to get Dexter McDonald, a 3-star CB out of Rockhurst, to switch his commitment from Mizzou. Needless to say, I'm really starting to like the new coaching staff.
-
Avg Rating:
KU-2.89
K-State-2.94
-
but the question remains.....would uk's 2nd string beat our 1st? :ohno: :ohno:
-
Did the RB that changed commitments change because he couldn't qualify to Stanford? That would be my guess.
-
No.... he has a 24 on his ACT and a 3.7 GPA. Changed because he wanted to stay closer to home and play for Coach Gill.

What are Stanfords minimum requirements out of curiosity...?
-
Who gives a crap if he could or couldn't get into Stanford? If we get good athletes who are smart, that's awesome. If we get good athletes who are stupid, then we're Oklahoma State. That's still a step up from the abortion that was 2009 :facepalm:
-
I prayed on it and I have been talking to a lot of people about it. I talked to the coaches at Kansas and I'm going to be a Jayhawk."
Clear that Gill sold him on the God thing. Looks to me to be a Jake Sharpe clone.

easily qualified. but a lot of people don't like hanging out with people that are smarter than they are. not everyone has bmw's unflappable confidence.
-
Congrats BMW, great gets. Also glad to see you still are a glass half full kind of guy. :cheers:
-
LOL, congrats BMW, you are the king of bragging about sh*t that doens't matter. "Some guy rated the Gill hire an A!" "We just moved ahead of K-State and now have the 54th best recruiting class!" Hahaha, why aren't you bragging about your win saturday, come on dude, you're better than this!

I want an offical Gridiron Club update from Ben. Post those digital renditions again. TIA

Gill is an example of how to take 3 and 4 star recruits and lose horribly with them Snyder is a good example of how to take 2 3 and 4 star recruits and make them winners..Thereby proving that "star" talent doesnt always translate to a winning program..

Gill is an example of why you need good players at every position, not just one position. Recruiting rankings are Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) because they just aggregate stars (which is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) to begin with). They don't look at "needs filled".

Pretty sure Stanford's minimum requirements on the ACT is 27-29. It was one of those two when I applied. I doubt he qualified.

Most schools have slightly different rules regarding qualifying and athletes. I don't know if Stanford does.
-
Pretty sure private schools can admit just about anyone they want to. I doubt Stanford would sully their rep by letting in a shot load of dummies but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't admit a few athletes who don't meet their normal requirements.

I doubt they do, and they probably parade that fact around 24/7.
I love SU's weird majors they make for football players. Tobi gerhardt was a "engineering sciences" major. WTF is that?
-
Management Sciences and Engineering. Gerhart is a smart dude.

Love the token "only athletes at stanford go to class" article.
Thanks JT.
Mom and son had meetings to study philosophy, public speaking, biology and anthropology. Their biology professor didn't think a 13-year-old could do the work. She graded Gerhart's first exam in front of all the students.
To her disbelief, he had earned the highest score in the class.
:rolleyes:
-
Yeah, pretty everyone is the starting RB and CF at their school while carrying 21 hrs. Yawn. So typical. :rollseyes:
-

ku is pretty much on par with Stanford, Harvard on the Kaw, Berkley of the Midwest, etc. At least that's what I hear.

Yeah, fff, you'd be Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) too if you heard the nicnames ku grads give their school as much as I have.

FFF gets so bitchy sometimes, even lashing out at his KSU brethren. Dude is all west coast now.

Lawrence really is a great place to go to school. So sad that my fellow Kansans can't admit that.

It's OK, but provincial and locked in the 60s. Visited Manhappiness for the first time in about six months Saturday to watch the game with my brother. Hardly recognized the city. Construction everywhere. Bio-weapons lab is going to transform Manhattan into the Midwest's economic engine (even if it means there's a 90 percent chance the zombie apocalypse originates there).

Luck is an architectural design major which is unaccredited according to a friend that goes to Stanford.

Will that keep Luck from making stupid, guaratneed NFL money? :ohnol:

To the people talking about academic requirements:
Schools have clauses to work around standards. They are usually called some sort "special talent" or service exemption. Outside the Lines had a great report on the use of this exemption to get revenue sports players into schools and how they are managed to keep them moving along to meet academic progress, usually by using learning disability modifications. FSU had just below 100 exemptions one year. 76 or some number were from football, a few from other sports and 1 kid from Asia who could play the cello.

I believe the NCAA rules say that you can make exemptions to your acceptance requirements for athletes as long as you make the same exemptions for students that are talented in other areas (i.e. music, debate/forensics, theater, etc.)
Apologies if this was the exact same thing you were trying to say.

Yeah it is. I was trying to say it the way you did through the example at FSU where it was a crap load of football players and one cellist and a few dancers or some crap. From what I got out of the Outside the Lines report it was largely up to the schools to establish who gets these exemptions and than they have to keep them up to par with the NCAA from there. Tagging them as LD students gives them a lot more flexibility in modifying courses to keep people eligible.
