ku has recruited decently pre-2010 class (which was a disaster), but there are some huge holes. The biggest, obviously, is that a replacement QB to take the reins from Reesing was not located. This includes a huge local miss with Blake Bell and Bubba Starling (not that he will play CFB anyway). The recruiting on the lines remained at the same level. The main recruiting wins were at DB and WR. Both are nice but less effective if line play is poor.
And that is this team's biggest problem... Atrocious line play. Maybe it's scheme change. the quick, athletic OL recruited to block for the spread is going to have a tough time blocking in a power scheme. Those guys aren't suited for drive blocking.
I don't think the little talent left behind for Gill really suits what he wants to do. It's going to take some time before he has his type of players. That likely means a few years of pain, and who knows how well they bounce back after that? It's really like starting at square one all over again.
