With literally one week remaining until national signing day (Feb 3), it's time to take a look at the recruits David Beaty and company have their sights set on.
According to Matt Tait over at LJW, due to the December Juco commits and several players from the 2015 class counting forward to this year's scholarship limit, Kansas only has 17 spots available. (Tip: Don't give LJW too many clicks, their commit list isn't very updated.) So, keep that in mind when looking at overall recruiting rankings.
First, a look at the solid verbals that are expected to send in their Letters of Intent (if they haven't already):
| LOI | JUCO | Player | POS | State | 247 Rank | Rivals | Other Offers |
| Tyriek Starks | QB | LA | NR | 2* | Jackson St, Nicholls St, Tulane | ||
| Khalil Herbert | RB | FL | 2* | 2* | FAU, FIU, GSU, Miss St | ||
| Braylon Royal | WR | TX | 3* | 2* | Illini, Ark St, SDSU | ||
| x | x | Stephan Robinson | WR | OK | 3* | 2* | Ark St, USA, USM, Tul, USU |
| Chris Hughes | OL | TX | 3* | 3* | UNT, TTU, UTSA, Cal, Hou | ||
| Antione Frazier | OL | TX | 3* | 2* | |||

| Ian Peterson | DB | TX | 3* | 2* | Colo, Hou, UNM, NMSU, SMU, Tol, Wisc |
If Tait's math is correct, that means there are only two more available scholarships. Here's a look at some remaining targets that Kansas is high on, and seem to be high on KU:
| LOI | JUCO | Player | POS | State | 247 Rank | Rivals | Other Offers |
| Evan Fairs | WR | TX | 3* | 2* | Illini, Terps, UNM, TSU, UTSA, UNLV | ||
| Bubba Ogbebor | WR | TX | 3* | 3* | Boise, CSU, GSU, IU, Iowa, Nev, UNT, TTU | ||
| Christian Jegen | WR | KS | NR | 3* | Northern Iowa, SDak | ||
| Joshua Bailey | DT | FL | 3* | 3* | UCF, App St, Cin, Iowa St, Tem, WKU, USF | ||
| Isaiah Bean | DE | TX | 3* | 2* | Fresno, Tulsa, Illini, ISU, ULL, TSU, UTSA | ||
| Hamp Cheevers | DB | FL | 2* | 2* | BC, Buff, EMU, FAMU, Nev, USU, UMass | ||
| Desmond Fairell | DB | FL | NR | NR | App St, FIU, UNI | ||
| Antione Webster | DB | FL | 3* | 3* | USF, MU, WVU, IU, Illini, SYR, FAU |
It honestly shouldn't be a very exciting signing day for Kansas - unless, of course, Amani Bledsoe has a last second change of heart. (Somebody have John Hadl call him!)
There may be some signing day intrigue with one recruit. WR Evan Fairs was recently offered by Beaty. According to 247Sports, Fairs is is hot on Maryland, but Rivals seems to think it's more 50/50 between the Jayhawks and Terps.
Keep in mind this is only covering scholarship players. You may have seen and heard names like QB Dagan Haehn, WR Keegan Brewer, and K Quinton Conaway. These guys are all "preferred walk ons."
We'll try and stay on top of everything for you as Beaty continues to rebuild the roster.
