Thanks for covering our jayhawks man. Im loving how the football team keeps improving. This could very well be our best season since mark mangino, todd reasing, and aqib talib led us to a 12 win season many years ago.

Excited to see five solid defensive commits. The Big XII is still an "offense first" league, but the defenses have improved over the last several years as a whole. We will very likely take a hit in offensive effectiveness after this year, so we need to step up our defense to be competitive in 2025.

Leiopold and staff doing a great job recruiting high school and portal guys. Should also get credit for keeping existing players that would get a lot of money in portal like Daniels, Neal, Hishaw and others. I pinch myself every day thinking I am dreaming all of this. Rock Chalk

LL has brought in 5 of the highest ranked recruits since 247 started tracking recruits

[@ajpend]

5 of the highest ranked out of all recruits in the world/nation, or five of the highest ranked recruits of all KU recruits over time?
What does this OP comment mean?

[@RCJH2022]

@@ajpend LL since coming to KU has recruited 5 of the highest ranked players to commit to Kansas since they have started ranking and tracking recruits . 8:36 he kind of touches on it.

[@eamonmaclachlan]

I think it’s like 8 of the top 50 if you take out JUCO guys

[@NatureBoii99]

The Jayhawks are coming
