What Tony Hull is pulling off at Kansas Jayhawks is not rocket science. The man knows rocket science. Recruiting is much easier than rocket science.
The shock over what he and David Beaty have pulled off so far is understandable. A staff that’s 2-22 in two seasons is not supposed to land commitments from elite recruits, but that’s what Kansas is doing. The Jayhawks already have seven pledges for 2018, two from ESPN Junior 300 standouts.
That’s right, Kansas has the (extremely) early No. 1 recruiting class in the Big 12. Hull, a second-year assistant Beaty hired straight out of the Louisiana high school ranks, brought in five of those pledges.
