We shall see.

If we lose him, I'm fairly comfortable we won't be losing him to Kansas.

3* with a 5.6 Rivals rating; Cozart #2 at 5.5.

So according to at least one of the major scouting services - yes, Clay Rhodes is presently the highest rated recruit in the state of Kansas.

EDIT: I stand corrected, looks like Tanner Wood is ranked ahead of Rhodes at 5.7.

And Cozart is committed to ?

Morrow is a really impressive athlete - would love to get him to Mizzou, but it sounds like Nebraska is pursuing him pretty heavily as well. I'm sure KU and KSU will be trying, too.

What's the word on him from a Kansas perspective.

Also, what can anyone tell me about Olathe South's Braden Smith? I understand he's a KU legacy, and it sounds like he's going to be a national level recruit. (Rivals 100 seems like a lock- might even be a five-star). His physical freakiness sounds almost Sheldon Richardson-esque.

Does KU have a shot? IMO, if Weis can land Smith, that's a statement similar to Mizzou landing Tony Temple back in the early days of the Pinkel administration.

They're all going to Mizzou. Just ask Nut.

We didn't offer him. We offered Hosick instead.

But hey, I'm happy that Grunhard can pull a recruit from the HS he coached at - it seems like nobody else is real fired up about heading there.

Yeah, the top TE recruit in the state isn't excited at all.

And he's already committed to Kansas.

Yep, and Tanner is a KSU Commit.

You betta lock up yo' Tight Ends, yo' Wide Outs, yo' Offensive Linemen, yo' Defensive Secondaries because Gary Pinkel is drivin' all crazy, all over the place and just rapin' Kansas and takin' what he like!

A list that has Gundy and Patterson ahead of Snyder isn't that interesting or accurate.

I'm sure your list has Snyder at #1 and Weis at -4.

Stoops is clearly #1. And I'll agree with the article that Weis is in the bottom half of the conference.

I can see most of that, but Snyder, in my opinion, is superior to Brown. Snyder has done more with less, and Brown ought to be in the NC hunt every year without exception considering the talent he's able to rope in. Snyder does more with less than any coach in the country, and has for decades.
