Maybe it's already posted..., but KSU target Landon Dean of Frontenac, KS, committed to OSU

But if we can land Caden Crawford, then all is good. Those 2 seem like similar players, with Caden having higher upside(IMO).
Caden Crawford commits to Iowa. Dang.. I feel like this was a big miss to keep an instate player in Kansas.
Really big miss, imo.

Due to the extra year, classes are going to be smaller then normal for most schools. This could mean 2 things. 1. Smart players are going to jump on offers so they arent left without options. This may mean they pick a school to get a spot, but better offers come later and they flip. 2. Schools may also play the game and get kids verbally committed, then over recruit them and either pull the offer or try to convince the kid to take a blue or gray shirt.

The good news is, there is going to be many more players then spots open, more then normal that is. So, in theory, the talent will flow down from the top tier schools. For example, a player that may have been a bench warmer for Ohio State wont get to go there and instead goes to a middle tier P5 school. That then pushes one of their lower recruits they would typically take down to G5. And so on. Let's hope KSU can snag some players in talent rich states that would typically go to the nearby school, but no longer have an opening there.

Jarel Williams
@JarelWilliams8 · Apr 3
Commitment coming soon 🍿
-----------------------------------------------

Jarel was at the open practice on Saturday, so that can't be a bad sign right?

It's a good sign until Alabama decides to offer him at the last minute. 😞

True, but from what I heard, he has ties to this area(not sure exactly how). He'd be a huge pickup. Pretty legit WR with size, speed, high IQ.

Agreed. I like this kid. Hope we land him!

Jarel Williams is committing at 11:30. However, it seems KSU already has quite a few WRs so my guess is not KSU

I missed that Gabe Garber, a walkon WR at KU, made the decision to transfer to KSU in February. He is listed as a DB on KSU's roster.

Noticed that AJ Moss, whom KSU offered a walkon back in November, said he is deciding soon. Then on tweet of a player getting a KSU offer, he said "come join me". Not going to be a big recruiting win if he walks on to KSU, but just making note of it.
