Recruiting 2021: 5 Teams Crushing It This Recruiting Season

Who’s having a big recruiting season? Here are five teams and head coaches doing a fantastic job in 2021 after a mediocre 2020.

3. Kansas Jayhawks

Big 12 recruiting is always the same.

It’s Oklahoma and Texas – in some order – and the other eight teams all get most of the same talents with the order shuffling depending on the year.

More often or not, though, Kansas has been at or near the bottom year after year, and it’s almost never pushing to have the third or fourth best class in the conference.

This year, though, everything changes.

It’s not all about the insta-fix JUCO transfers of past years, doing a nice job of building for the future – and for right now, too. And incoming freshman really will be able to compete to start right out of the gate.

The incoming skill guys are good, but the secondary is going to be the star. It’s a deep class of defensive backs – helped by flipping Edwin White from Tennessee in December – and the receivers are there, too.

Now it’s a question of just how fast this can all translate into wins – or Kansas merely being more competitive.
