One of the visitors from last week was Ronald Lewis a cornerback from Warren Easton in Louisiana. Lewis had been committed to Texas but the word on the street is the Longhorns asked him to blueshirt at the last minute.

Sources have said Lewis is skeptical of the recruiting process and has been keeping everything close to the vest and not doing many interviews. The word is he and his family enjoyed the visit to Kansas a lot.

KU really got on him after they hired Jordan Peterson. Over the last month Peterson has spent a lot of time recruiting him and convinced them to take their first visit to KU.

The next few days will be a telling story and how things play out for Lewis. On Thursday TCU cornerbacks coach Carlton Buckels is going to visit Lewis for an in-home. The one concern here is Buckels is from Louisiana and played at LSU, so he has ties to the area.

TCU has yet to offer Lewis and we could find out more on that situation in the next 48 hours. Lewis has an official visit set with TCU this weekend.

I have been told Lewis likes Peterson and his family trusts the KU coaching staff after their visit.

KU will continue to recruit corners and Peterson was in Florida yesterday to see Brian Dilworth from Hollywood, FL. He was committed to Auburn at one time and held offers from several schools in the ACC, SEC, and Big 10.

Dilworth said he had a good visit with Peterson and it was nice to see him in person after several phone conversations.

There is also another corner I am tracking and will have more if I can verify my information.
