Kansas Jayhawks News and Notes 8.18.11

Kansas picked up a nice commitment in terms of football recruiting last night.  Jordan Smith is a 6'5" 220 pound tight end/athlete out of Texas.  He's very much in the mold of what Missouri has been putting out over the last 5-7 years, in fact Mizzou brought him in on an unofficial this summer and may even offer at some point.  As of now Kansas is probably his tip offer, but Arkansas, Texas Tech, Baylor and Mizzou are all heavily interested.  It's only August so who knows, this could be a tough one to keep.  But for now it appears to be another prospect that brings speed, athleticism and explosion to his position.
