About three months ago, back on May 30, was the last time I took a look at the 2021 recruiting class. At that point, KU had 11 verbals, which put them at #38 in the 247Sports team rankings.
Now, the Jayhawks are up to 21 verbals, including the highest-rated recruit for Kansas since recruiting rankings became a thing. Hanging on to Keon Coleman will no doubt be a tall order for Kansas coaches, but let’s see who else the Jayhawks have lined up to join the team in 2021.
