Taylor an Unexpected Boost To Kansas's Unlikely Season
Pretty standard article but from the Washington Post so kind of cool.

5"Lawrence was beautiful and really nice," Brown said. "Kansas State wasn't as nice as Kansas but it reminded me of old school football. Their facilities weren't as nice but their coaches sounded like they had a lot of experience." -Matt Brown, Dual-threat QB from Allen, TX; considering KU. Every recruit loves our facilities, it's awesome. Lots of recruit news about guys who want to make early decisions looking at Kansas recently, including 2 or 3 from Arlington Bowie, where commit Christian Matthews is from. Could be building a hotbed from there.

21To get in the mood for the tournament, check out this highlight video I made last year for KU in the Big 12 Tournament. For some reason there is a green bar under it which I still don't get. Definitely hit the HQ feature next to the sound button while watching and then go full screen, it makes the quality much better.

Bracketology - It's March Fellas!
Obviously we know that this isn't indicative of what things will look like in a couple of weeks because it always changes, but it is a good measure of where we'd be if the tourney started today. #2 right now playing in Minneapolis. For fun let's look at the top 4 in our region. 1. Pittsburgh 2. Jayhawks! 3. Villanova 4. Clemson We can beat Nova, and we can beat Clemson, Pitt definitely scares me as they have a lot of talent. Check out the South region where OU sits at #1. There is no doubt in my mind right now, that if we win out, play OU in the Big 12 title game, and win, we will be a #1 seed and playing in KC in the first 2 rounds. DAMN I LOVE MARCH!
Why don't we have recruits come to the Mizzou game?
So I know that a lot of times it really isn't up to the University when a recruit comes to town to watch our team. But thinking about Lance Stephenson being at the Nebraska game, when a week...

ESPN Bracketology
Number 2 seed and that is before the Missouri win. A number 2 is definitely in our hands and if a couple 1's fall and we somehow win out (not easy by any means), it's not entirely impossible we don't move past OK as a #1.

"Last year the Jayhawks had great success at Arlington Bowie High in Texas landing Christian Matthews and Dexter Linton. Once again Kansas assistant David Beaty is off to a hot start at the school. This time he has made quick inroads with wide receiver Montra Nelson." "Last weekend Nelson went to the junior day event at Baylor. He has been getting mail from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, LSU, Nebraska, Alabama, UCLA, TCU, and SMU." "Nelson, 6-foot-3, 214 pounds said his 40 time is around 4.6, but has been trimming that down. He was part of an explosive Bowie offense and was on the receiving end on passes from Matthews, a Kansas signee. Having two teammates going to Kansas hasn't hurt the Jayhawks chances." Great news if we could pick this guy up!

2" 20. Kansas Jayhawks After a breakthrough season in 2007, the Jayhawks slipped to an 8-5 finish in the rugged Big 12 last season. But with quarterback Todd Reesing, tailback Jake Sharp and receiver Dezmon Briscoe returning, Kansas should challenge Nebraska for the Big 12 North title in 2009. The Jayhawks will have to replace each of their starting guards and center on the offensive line, and departed starting linebackers James Holt, Mike Rivera and Joe Mortensen won't be easy to replace. Kansas' schedule will be demanding, with road games at Texas Tech and Texas and home games against Oklahoma and Nebraska." Mark Schlabach: Revised way too early rankings...still getting some love, although he has Nebraska one spot in front of us.

5Interview with DJ Beshears from Rivals What position are they recruiting you for? "I will go in at defensive back. I will probably play corner." What makes you a good corner? "I have never really played it before so it is kind of new to me." Have they always recruited you as a corner? "I kind of found out last minute. " Hmm we already have a lot of corners coming in, interesting that he isn't sticking at WR, does this mean a move back to WR for Daymond Patterson? Time will tell.
