Looks like a KSU quarterback

Good point, Roger. Just the type of QB that Bill Snyder typically loves, but he apparently turned down their offer and picked Tulsa initially. Perhaps he was nervous about how long Snyder would be at KSU since he's 77 and recovering from cancer treatments.

But it also seems that he's not interested in KU either. Could be that a kid from such a small town wants to get out and see what the world has to offer, rather than stay at home in Kansas. Couldn't blame him if he did.

Good article on him linked below - his HS has 151 students total!

You're right, I just came here to brighten up your day. We probably won't get Joseph to cross the line, but it's sure fun to see such an "awful" team as KU getting him into a KU uni on his twitter page, even for a day or two.

I'll come back and aggravate you later if Tony Hull lands any more La recruits.

Good luck to you all ... Dave

Thanks for mentioning that - I see your board is all excited about signing the 17th ranked player in La. We have 4 La commits ranked higher than him.

"We" as in KU, "You" as in LSU. Got it?

Well, if that makes you feel better about losing your 3rd, 5th, 14th, 15th and 29th ranked recruits, good luck to you.

Josh Smith is ranked 14th in La as per Rivals;

Plus we currently have commits by the 3rd, 5th, 14th and 15th, along with Pooka Williams who is 29th, not 30th.

Regardless of his ranking in La Williams is an excellent prospect.

Thought that you just might want to have a look at what's happening in the KU football recruiting world of late;

And we picked up a commitment from Josh Smith from Landry-Walker ... maybe y'all know of him?

Have a good day! :lol:
KSU is our local deadly enemy today. Used to be Mizzou (Missouri) before they tried to go to the Big 10, but were turned down. Left instead for the SEC.

We have to, owl. I don't think that the State of Kansas has a 4* or better recruit this year. LSU fans don't know how lucky they are, we have to go to other recruit rich states, like Texas and now, La.
I've been surprised by the way the majority of Tiger fans respond. I can see why some recruits have a negative impression of the response they get from home fans.

On my home board we're obviously disappointed when a potential recruit opts for another school. But the average response is to wish him well and good luck.
Great interview. Tony discusses what it was like to start the Warren Easton program, NASA, where to eat the best food in Nola, and why all those recruits committed to Kansas Football - 23 minutes;

I didn't write the Rivals article;

Nelson Jenkins DT Plaquemine, LA 6'4" 290 5.6 2/6/17
Aaron Brule DB Metairie, LA 6'0" 165 5.6 2/5/17
Ja'Marr Chase WR Metairie, LA 6'2" 185 5.8 2/4/17
Corione Harris DB New Orleans, LA 6'1" 170 5.9 2/4/17
Devonta Jason WR New Orleans, LA 6'3" 187 6 2/4/17
Anthony Williams RB Boutte, LA 5'10" 165 5.5 2/4/17
Clayton Tune QB Carrollton, TX 6'2" 195 2/4/17

Can you share some pics of the new facility?


Here's a link to photos of the new locker room - supposed to be the best in football;

Read the OP article - Mike Lee and Tony Hull, along with that win over Texas, are critical factors. But of course, our HC David Beaty is a tremendous recruiter and positive force all around.

Add that to some of the newest and best facilities in the country, along with a great college town, and you're starting to understand.

That win over Texas sure did wonders


You're right. For you guys, it's all a laughing matter. But imagine if the Tigers had a record like us over the last decade;

1 2016 Big 12 2 10 0 .167 -10.65 2.52 David Beaty (2-10)
2 2015 Big 12 0 12 0 .000 -15.22 3.87 David Beaty (0-12)
3 2014 Big 12 3 9 0 .250 -6.86 3.48 Clint Bowen (1-7), Charlie Weis (2-2)
4 2013 Big 12 3 9 0 .250 -8.58 2.84 Charlie Weis (3-9)
5 2012 Big 12 1 11 0 .083 -6.70 6.22 Charlie Weis (1-11)

8 2009 Big 12 5 7 0 .417 0.88 2.22 25 16 Mark Mangino (5-7)
9 2008 Big 12 8 5 0 .615 9.23 4.00 14 13 Mark Mangino (8-5) Insight Bowl-W

I guess that's your quaint southern way of saying that you're bemused by my post and can't think of any response?

I think that you're wrong in every aspect, other than LA being a top recruiting state. But time will tell who has it right.

By the way, in December, Beaty received a 2 yr contract extension until 2021. So if he's successful in rebuilding KU, no-one expects him to leave for another job.

Tony Hull may have long term aspirations to be a College HC, I don't know for sure. But I really doubt that he's going to leave soon, ie. in the next few years. He's made a commitment to all those LA kids and on his past character, I very much doubt that he'd break that and disappoint them.

Don't forget, T.Hull left a much higher paying job at NASA to coach at Warren Easton just to help kids succeed in life. He stayed for around 7 years there and lifted the team graduation rate to 100%. I don't think that he's motivated solely by money, otherwise why would he have quit NASA and also stayed at Warren Easton so long?

A good number of them will stay at KU for the same reasons that they committed in the 1st place. Plus Tony Hull will be picking up LA players for several more years.

He wasn't in NOLA yesterday just to eat some more of your great cooking. I see that Tiger commit Kelvin Joseph picked up a KU offer yesterday;
