On February 7th, David Beaty signed what most experts regard as the best Kansas football recruiting class since ranking classes became a thing - i.e., since the days of Gale Sayers or Nolan Cromwell.
Per 247Sports, KU’s class ranked #60, and ahead of K-State and Texas Tech in the Big 12. Meanwhile, Rivals had an even more rosy opinion of the Kansas class, ranking it #48, and ahead of Iowa State, K-State, and Texas Tech in the conference.
Once again, the class was heavy on Juco recruits. Once again, there were few Kansas kids signed (two).
