HCLL has done a great job at doing maybe the most important thing for a college football program especially in the era of NIL, and that is building a culture. Every recruit and current player talks about it. KU has had SO FEW tranfers leaving KU. JK has said many times how HCLL takes care of his current players.
KU football is not trying to replace 15 or 20 transfers who are LEAVING the program. HCLL is replacing over 20 players who are graduating and many of them being starters for multiple years and another coach's recruits. How will HCLL do with a new OC & DC and 20+ incoming transfers who are expected to make an impact right away? Will he hit on a majority of transfers? Will the team show improvement throughout the season? Can HCLL put together all these new players & coaches and succeed? It will be HCLL's biggest test as a KU coach, I believe.
