Recruiting Chatter: Jeremiah Edwards

by Owen on Dec 21, 2009 11:26 AM CST in Kansas Jayhawk Football

In light of the fact that we are entering the stretch run of recruiting I wanted to introduce a new feature here and maybe it's not so much a feature but a new way for me to get some recruiting tidbits out to you all when a full story might not be in order.

Recruiting chatter will be full of little nuggets or recaps of conversations with recruits. Points of interest, notable quotes, and anything else that seems appropriate to throw out to the group.

Last night I spoke with Jeremiah Edwards about his recent official visit to Kansas and here are a few tidbits from what he had to say.

Edwards absolutely loved his Kansas visit, said it was really great to be in Lawrence and he "can't wait to move up to Kansas."
Edwards was hosted by Sal Capra on the visit and was very impressed by the Kansas fans at the basketball game. He mentioned that he thought the Turner Gill introduction at halftime was definitely a high point.

In terms of his commitment he said he is 100% a Jayhawk and that all the other commits there are as well. He said the group spent a lot of time together and he felt it was a great chance to get to know some of the guys coming in.

Again he did say that James Sims remains a Jayhawk and that's great news as he was one of the recruits that many had speculated might be up in the air with Beaty's departure.

One non commit in Damon Williams was a guy that Edwards took particular interest in getting to know. He said he was on him all weekend telling him he should come anchor the defensive line with him at Kansas. He thinks Kansas has a GREAT shot with Williams and hopes he does become a Jayhawk.

Awesome -

put him on the phone and have him call Geneo Grissom…and Justin McCay…and Blake Bell…

Turner Gill is introduced to the Kansas Athletic dept:

Gill, I'm Bill and this is Phil. Gill, I'm Phil and this is Jill. Gil, I'm Jill, you know Bill, Phil...

also, what's the story with Ray Mitchell?

I don’t really recognize the name, but he’s now committed? (from another post, i think)

yep...

he’s a safety that committed over the weekend. Relatively under the radar guy. Only a 2star but he’s big, physical and I’ve seen a report saying he has 4.4 speed. Gill and Torbush have made no secret that they think speed is a major weakness and they need to find fast, athletic players who are ready to work hard. From there they feel they can coach these kids up. Basically as the saying goes, you can’t coach speed.

Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
