KU football lands running back Ke'aun Kinner with help from Orange Bowl alum | CJOnline.com
Just after David Beaty was hired as Kansas football coach in December, former player Patrick Resby called him to let him know about Ke’aun Kinner — a running back who played for him as an assistant at Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas.“It never hurts to have buddies,” Beaty said. “They give you calls, and sometimes it works out.”

I'm sure he's more than aware of that.

Q&A: Cornerbacks coach Kenny Perry
I'm just trying to get them to understand every play is important and every ball that is caught on you is a big deal. That's just something I've learned from watching this conference in the last few years. As a cornerback you have to forget the last play. You just hope you don't have to forget the last three plays.
