I think he's outright crazy to even consider playing football this year. Dude was drafted No. 9 overall and doesn't see himself playing football down the road; take your money and move on, prepare for the spring. That's a huge risk if he gets hurt, just for the rush of playing one season in Norman.

David Beaty: KU football was down to 39 scholarship players when he took over

Tom Keegan: David Beaty could leave scholarship situation roughly same as one he inherited

From an article in The Athletic:
In the recruiting classes of 2012 and 2013, Weis and his staff brought in a combined 27 junior college transfers. Only two were academic qualifiers coming out of high school. Fourteen did not graduate, and 10 — including touted signees Marquel Combs, Chris Martin and Kevin Short — never saw the field. And then, by the end of 2014, they were all gone. So was Weis. Going into 2015, only 12 of Weis’ first 56 signees were still on the roster

Beatty and KU are up to 70 scholarship players, not including walk-ons, and estimates KU will be up to 85 in three more years.

Ex-TCU QB Trevone Boykin was in the NFL 5 months ago. Now, he’s selling jewelry on Twitter

Boykin, 24, has resorted to selling jewelry after his football career came to a halt this spring. He was accused of domestic violence by a girlfriend, Shabrika Bailey, who alleged that Boykin broke her jaw during an argument.

Mansfield police arrested Boykin on suspicion of aggravated assault with serious bodily injury. Boykin denied the allegations and posted bond, but the Seahawks released him shortly after.

Boykin’s case is still pending, according to the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s office.

The spring incident is far from the first time Boykin has been in the news for off-field trouble. At the end of his senior season, Boykin was arrested in San Antonio after he allegedly punched a police officer in a bar fight on Dec. 31, 2015, two days before TCU was to play in the 2016 Alamo Bowl. He pleaded no contest to a charge of resisting arrest in June 2016 and received one year of deferred adjudication probation.


Boykin was also arrested in March 2017 following an incident in which he was a passenger in a car that hit the Sidebar Bar in Dallas, also hitting seven people on a sidewalk. He was arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana and public intoxication, according to Dallas County Jail records.


Boykin ended his career at TCU as the holder of several Horned Frogs records: career passing yards (10,728), completions (830) and pass attempts (1,356), as well as the single-season record for passing yards (3,901).

Sad.

Kansas is 2-1 in the first three games, beating Rutgers last week 55-14. Their running game totaled over 400 yards and the defense got six turnovers. The last time Kansas had more than 3 wins in a season was 2009, which is also the last time Kansas had back-to-back wins over FBS teams. Their only loss was to Nichols State to start the season.

Rutgers has given up 107 points in consecutive weeks against Ohio State and Kansas.

Only two B12 teams do not score over thirty points per game against FBS teams, while only two B12 teams give up more than 26 points per game.

Against P5 opponents (six teams with one game, three with two games), four teams have given up more than 25 points per game. Only two teams out of nine do not score more than twenty-six points per game.

KU football lost Saturday. Here’s why the home crowd gave a standing ovation anyway

When he walked toward the locker room following Kansas’ 29-24 loss to West Virginia, Kansas safety Mike Lee heard something he wasn’t expecting.

Though he didn’t look up, to his right he heard clapping ... then more, and even more.

“It caught me off guard,” Lee said, “because that had never happened before.”

KU receiver Andrew Parchment — in his first season with the Jayhawks — said the conversation about that moment continued a few minutes later. KU’s veteran players, accustomed in earlier years to sparse crowds and supporters leaving early, couldn’t help but take notice after receiving a standing ovation from those in the southwest stands as they exited Booth Memorial Stadium....

Les Miles seems to be making a difference in Kansas football recruiting.

From Kansas Football puts final touches on 2020 Recruiting Class:

Back in December, Kansas was ranked #44 by 247 Sports and #32 by Rivals. Those rankings are now #56 (247Sports) and #46 (Rivals).

Let me repeat something I said last December:

... it’s clear that Les Miles has had a tremendous impact on KU’s recruiting. You have to go back to the Mark Mangino era to find regular recruiting classes in the top-50. David Beaty’s average class was ranked #65, Gill/Weis averaged #58, while Mangino averaged #46. And remember, Weis and Beaty leaned on Juco recruits to bolster those class rankings as well.

Miles got twenty-six enrollees. Nineteen signed at the early signing period. The breakdown by state includes Oklahoma (5), Texas (5), California (3), Louisiana (3) and others.

His first class in 2019 after being hired was going to be small due to scholarship limits from previous recruiting. Miles also had fourteen decommits, mostly after the early signing period (two were from Louisiana). He ended up three commits over last year. One from 2019 is grayshirting and will enroll in the fall with the 2020 class. Unlike previous coaches, Mile recruited only high school prospects.

Eight players have entered the Transfer Portal in 2020 who have not recommitted to KU. Five players transferred through the Portal last year. Miles accepted two transfers last - two of his sons, Ben and Manny. One final note. Miles signed six WRs in the 2020 class. 247 notes their were thirteen already on the roster.

Miles is remaking the roster, using his contacts from coaching at LSU, and even winning some recruiting battles from other P5 programs.

With two conference losses and their only win against Missouri State, Oklahoma may be on the verge of being eliminated for the B12 championship game with a loss to Texas. TCU is next and beat Texas.

Oklahoma even made CBS's Bottom 25 at #24. They gave up 499 yds to K-State and 417 yds to Iowa State.

In their loss to TCU 31-33, the Texas offense generated only 388 yds against TCU's 457 yds. TCU lost to Iowa St by 3 and is favored by 9.5 over K-State. Iowa St and K-State are both 2-0 in-conference with tiebreakers in their favor vs Oklahoma.

Baylor is idle but has suspended all football-related activities due to Covid positive tests. They play #10 Oklahoma State next.

As someone that's living in the middle of B12 country, Texas and OU staying in the B12 until 2025 has been delicious entertainment. Lots of butthurt Horns/Sooners

Neither of Campbell’s coordinators coach a position group either. Remembering back Heacock reportedly did not want to coach a position group if he came to ND.

Campbell constructs it as:

OC
DC
QB
RB/WR
TE
OL
DL
LB
CB
S

Can’t imagine not having a ST Coach after the job Mason did last week.

This is the most fun conference to watch right now. If you have a double digit lead at any point, you're almost doomed.

Still true. Just awesome.

Get Jamey Chadwell to WVU next year and let the good times roll.
