Summer recruiting overview

For the past weeks and months the coaches have watched tape, visited schools, extended offers and invited kids to campus for a variety of things such as, Spring game, tour of facilities and campus.

Now things are getting ready to heat up.
Super Jayhawk camp is this weekend and its for mostly OL/DL but there will be some skill players present.

My thoughts on it is that its harder to scout the lines on tape and its easier to put them through your drills on your field and see how they take to coaching. Coaches can also see their frames and determine if a senior to be in high school can develop into a Big 12 lineman.

There will be kids that attend that have scholarship offers and some that don't.

The kids that have offers are usually there to get a better feel for the coaches and see the facilities and either form an opinion of KU or reaffirm their feelings towards KU.

Those that do not have offers are trying to impress the coaches with their ability, coachability, leadership, work ethic and actual build.
There are usually some offers extended during or right after the camp and it usually yields a commit or two. These kids become know quantities to the staff and that helps because they can become more focused on their efforts with other targets.

After camp the staff will continue to try and get prospects to campus and they'll attended 7 on 7 tourneys and once they have a couple more commits those that have pledged to be Jayhawks can sell KU to their teammates and other targets.

Hope this clears up some of the questions that some of you had mentioned.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments and I'll do my best to answer.
