Notebook: Andrea Hudy leaving KU for Texas

The Rock Chalkboard

The big news of the day is a bummer for the Kansas basketball program. News broke late last night that Andrea Hudy, who has been with KU since 2004, is headed to the University of Texas.

Kansas football now has a full class of 25 verbal commits for the class of 2020 following the verbal pledge of 3-star CB Tanner Hooker. Hooker chose the Jayhawks over K-State and Colorado.

In other recruiting news, a player out of Alabama who is both a 5-star basketball recruit and 5-star football recruit Tweeted that he received an offer from Bill Self. He also noted that he “will have the chance to play both sports.”

KU made a bit of a splash on Twitter with the announcement of Sam Burt earning a scholarship.

KU defensive line coach Kwahn Drake is with his fifth program in five years.

Now at LB, Azur Kamara is working on more than being a pass rusher.

Dorance Armstrong has impressed Cowboys owner Jerry Jones during camp.

This dumdum says Texas Tech will be better than Kansas (in basketball) this upcoming season. His primary reason seems to be that Chris Beard is a better coach that Bill Self. (Honestly, you probably shouldn’t give him any clicks.)
