Anybody find out how Kansas start pulling in all them 4* recruits yet?
Credit can almost single-handedly go to to second-year Kansas assistant
Tony Hull. The former head coach at Warren Easton High School in New Orleans, Hull is the Jayhawks’ Louisiana recruiting arm.
He knows the state well and coached against many of the players (and coaches) he’s currently recruiting.
“All credit goes to him,” Harris said “He’s a great recruiter and I’ve been knowing him since he coached high school. He did what he needed to do (to get me committed).”
That the pledges came on the same day wasn’t a coincidence. The Louisiana group planned it out in a group text. They wanted to make a statement at the same time.
The reasons for committing to Kansas vary individually, but mostly it comes down to wanting to make a change in Lawrence, a place that hasn’t experienced a winning football season since 2008.
David Beaty, a third-year head coach, is selling the opportunity to create a legacy, and these 2018 recruits are buying in.
"We are a family," said Chase, the No. 256 player in the class. "We are about to build something special."
There is still a question of whether these recruits will stay together. It’s nearly a year until National Signing Day 2018, and each Louisiana prospect will have a bevy of offers from throughout the country to sort through.
Harris, for example, turned down LSU to commit to the Jayhawks.
That doesn’t happen in recruiting, but Harris thinks this surprise class of Kansas commits will stick together.
“We’ll just communicate and do what’s best for us,” Harris said. “But I believe so.”
