Football Recruiting Thread

[wetwillie]

Not at all, especially if Dylan and Avery have break out years this year.  That's a lot of dough to spread around between Avery, Dylan, Cure and DJamer.

our nil is in a great place, but how much money do you think a freshman tight end, even a five star, is going to fetch? Cure isn't going to scratch the top 10 in nil for us and especially not Oregon. Maybe he would for KU, but I can't think that's a great sign for their program if they're breaking the bank on a tight end who hasn't even taken a college snap.

[wetwillie]

I would think a 5* TE would probably be getting 2/3rds of what an Elite HS QB prospect gets. Who are the 10 players that would receive more in 2025?

[MakeItRain]

Well if football is anything like basketball, high school recruits aren't anywhere close to as valuable as proven college athletes. Couple that with football freshmen not expected to make much of an impact, Cure is more of a sure bet to red shirt than he is to be an impact player in '25. Finally, the position, of all the offensive skill positions, tight ends are the most interchangeable and have the least impact. You could make the argument that every single defensive position is more impactful than the tight end.

We know Oregon isn't going to give him a big bag, he's supposedly third on their board. I guess it's possible that KU and K-State could get in a bidding war, but I don't see Klieman doing that. Cure is infinitely more important for KU than he is for us, simply because of the symbolism, they need the in state win.

Best case scenario is he goes to KU, red shirts, plays one year and gets 2nd team all Big 12, then transfers to K-State.

This is how it will play out most often.  A KS kid will hold his nose, go to KU and take his lumps hoping he will catch Ck's eye then transfer to KSU if we have interest.

in many ways, the ku football program is a farm league (maybe AA?) for us and other fbs programs??

How many cats would I have to drop off at Lincoln Cure's farm for him to commit to the KSU?

Make sure you also drop off a DVD of the old DBL 007 James Bond movie starting Pussy Galore and let him know that Ms Galore is not around anymore but he can watch this fine movie with his new gift of pussies a plenty.

These are the questions we should be asking ourselves!

Our plan is to place some of the lower level in state kids there and see how they develop.  If they hit the next level, we will let them know we will accept them.  If they stay at ku level, we can block them so all the begging doesn't get awkward.

I know we’re just ge’ing here, but when you really think about it, in a world where college athletes are employees, wouldn’t it make sense to have contracts and you could only have so many contracts per team? But then the true elites like our beloved KSU Wildcats have a lower level team like the Jayhawks that we can use to develop players or send bad contracts that didn’t pan out.

Apparently we got a transfer OL from UT Chattanooga

Hell yeah. Our last sort of potential weakness at least given some experience. I am glad we got some help at each level of the defense, and then some playmakers on the offense. This helps those playmakers be successful

Got a commitment from a Derby CB with no other offers. My purple tinted glasses got me assuming he’ll end up an All-American and high draft pick.

It happens so often.

Outside of a handful of high end recruits like Avery or Cure i don't even pay attention to high school recruiting. Too much churn to even bother learning names.

I haven’t been following all the recruiting stuff super heavy, but it feels like we’re about to go on a big run of commitments topped off by Cure when he OVs in a couple weeks

[ChiComCat]

Braet signaled a recruit incoming
