I think this first week will be by far the most difficult to sort out in the portal. First off, I believe we see the portal entries slow down next week.
Second, I think we are going to see recruits start making decisions in the next 7-10 days because the best NIL offers may be on the table. There are going to be schools start to squeeze recruits. I am hearing about some portal recruits setting four and five visits. I just don't see some of them taking that many.
For example OL Mahamane Moussa told me he would definitely visit KU. But he took his visit to Louisville and he committed and canceled visits.
Jack Tanner from Tulsa ended his visit yesterday and will have more details from him. He had a good time around Daryl Agpalsa and being around the players. He told me he is headed to Northwestern and Kansas State next.
Safety Lyrick Rawls from Oklahoma State is set to start his official visit today. He hasn't told me what other schools are involved.
I confirmed Jahlil Hurley a former Rivals 250 recruit from Alabama will visit KU this weekend. The KU staff has been on him from the second he went in the portal. Another corner to watch is DJ Graham from Utah State. He transferred from Oklahoma and I am hearing KU may be one of the top schools. Lindenwood corner Tre Bell is also getting a lot of interest. The KU coaches saw him play against them last season and had a chance to watch his tape. Bell told me he will visit next week. The staff is on several corners and Zelmar Vedder is one of them. He is from Sacramento State and will visit KU next week he told me.
The staff has reached out to AJ Pena a LB from Rhode Island who out up big numbers this year. Another LB Antarron Turner from Western Carolina told me last night he plans to visit KU this weekend. The Jayhawks will also get a visit from a talented LB in Omar Graham Jr from Florid State this weekend. I am still waiting to see if LB Reginald Hughes from Jacksonville State sets a visit.
Northwest Missouri State DL Langden Kitchen is supposed to finish his official visit to KU today. I know there are several teams in the mix and Iowa may be the biggest competitor. Wide receiver Omari Kelly from Middle Tennessee will visit KU on Dec. 17. Another wide receiver who will visit this weekend is Aziah Johnson and he will go to Manhattan after his visit. The staff has offered Nyziah Hunter a WR from Cal who is picking up several offers including Syracuse, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Nebraska, KSU, Arizona State, Utah and others.
An OL to watch is Isaiah World from Nevada. He's getting a lot of interest and played for Matt Lubick. One source told me Kentucky is likely to get a visit. Baylor starting tackle Alvin Ebosele will take an official to KU along with Arkansas, Houston and Minnesota. I reported earlier OL Trevor Mayberry a Stanford transfer will visit on Friday.
There is going to be a lot of changes, additions and deletions to the lists over the next 4-5 days. I will be back on anything new I hear.
