Tony Hull convinced all the LA kids to go play for the one coach with a worse winning % than Coach O.

Beautiful campus, new state of the art facilities...
Horrible record - feed into the mentality of some kids: "Come play here, be the reason this program succeeds - play and make your mark here, you'll be a legend"
some of these kids - at least some of the ones I work with here (not there in Louisiana) have the mentality where they pull for underdogs, they live as underdogs and fight to surpass being an underdog. Many of these kids have done just that - they've made their mark (otherwise they wouldn't be recruited by the schools they're being recruited by). A good salesman has likely convinced them that they'll be legends at KU turning the program around, turning it into a championship program (not quite likely, but never know), and that they'll be revered for all time as Kansas royalty.

Kansas doesn't have a beautiful campus.

A lot of KU's recruits from here are sort of tweeners anyway who might only have gotten offers from mid majors.
Back about 5-7 years ago when Mangino was he coach there, they did pretty well. But they got upset when Mangino apparently was beating(tenderizing) a player before trying to eat him.
He used to get some talent there.

He was slow roasting him on hot summer asphalt.

Have you been, have you seen it? Much better than Bama and Mississippi State... Ole Miss is nice too though but Kansas does have a great campus. Not saying that I agree with the kids going there - wish them the best of luck, but we need them at LSU and Kansas is a bit far from home.

The campus itself is nice but not spectacular. The town of Lawrence is very average. It's clean and safe, but there is little to do outside of watching basketball games or walking up and down Mass St. Fortunately, Kansas City is less than an hour away.

Yes I have....I live in KC area and when we moved here few months ago, I wanted to go see what it looked like. At first I thought the entire thing was horrible looking. There is a lot of construction going on, and they have one area of the campus that looks pretty nice....but in no way does it compare to a nice SEC school. I then drove by the football stadium...wow, it was a dump..and that is being nice.

I shared this assessment on the RB, and a couple of KU posters got bent out of shape. 
I go to Lawrence at least a couple of times a month to do some basic shopping. For anything more, I drive the extra 15 minutes to Olathe/Overland Park.

You won't hear anything else about it after they go 2-10 this year

You'd have to be the greatest salesman of all time to make me believe that crock of shite.

have the mentality where they pull for underdogs, they live as underdogs and fight to surpass being an underdog.
Also, I know LSU is light years ahead of Kansas, but in a way, we've been the underdog too, and if they can play that card there, surely O and Co. could do it for the home team. "Come here guys, I want y'all to be the one's who get us back to beating Bama and in to the championship picture again. You're from NO and will forever be a Louisiana legend."

LB13,
I missed all the hullabaloo as well. I looked it up last night and saw that 5 La and 1 Texas hs football players committed to Kansas in a 3 day period.
Odd for sure.
2 of the Louisiana players are 4-star recruits.
This year, Kansas got 19 3-star recruits and a few ranked lower.
How did they get so much so quickly this year?
Anyway. It doesnt make much sense, but programs go up and down. Kansas may be on the rise. However, if the shite the bed this year again.....those recruits may look elsewhere.

So, LSU loses kids to Bama because they want to play for a winner even if means sitting on the bench for several years, and LSU loses kids to Kansas because they want to play for a loser where they will get early playing time. Go figure!
