Turner Gill

The Kansas Jayhawks finished this season with a 3-9 record so it's pretty obvious that head coach Turner Gill would look to make some changes for next season. The biggest change affects former Dodge City quarterback Kale Pick who will move permanently to the wide receiver position next year.  That's pretty much the same route that Kerry Meier took when Todd Reesing took over as quarterback.  Gill also said that he is planning on adding one or two more quarterbacks to the roster.

Kansas head football coach Turner Gill announced that highly touted Colorado high school quarterback Brock Berglund has signed a financial aid agreement to play for the Jayhawks. Berglund has graduated from Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, Colo. and will enroll at KU this month and be available for spring practice. “Brock is the ideal student-athlete we want in our program,” Gill said.  “He has proven that he is a winner.

Kansas co-offensive coordinator/wide receivers coach Darrell Wyatt is leaving the football program to take a wide receiver position at the University of Texas according to KU head coach Turner Gill.  Wyatt will also have the title of co-recruiting coordinator. Wyatt had two stints at Kansas during his coaching career, serving from 1997-2000 and then in 2010. “We appreciate everything Darrell has done for Kansas football,” Gill said.  “He is an outstanding coach.

One did it in the air, the other on the ground and both won championships on undefeated teams. Both Josh Smith of Hutchinson and Wichita Collegiate’s Blake Jablonski set and smashed records during their prep careers. But despite all that, neither was highly recruited. "A little tough to swallow," said Josh Smith, who was only recruited by Navy, the Air Force Academy and Pittsburg State. Jablonski received an invitation from Wake Forest and looks from some Division II and III schools, but nothing more than that.

Dylan Admire, an all-state lineman from Blue Valley West High School in Overland Park, Kan. and Darrian Miller, an all-state running back from Blue Springs High School in Blue Springs, Mo., have signed letters of intent at Kansas it was announced by KU head coach Turner Gill Friday. Both players will graduate high school in December and join the Kansas football program in January. A 6-3, 265-pound offensive lineman, Admire was an all-state first-team selection as a junior and is expected to earn that honor again this season.

Kansas and Kansas State meet on the football field for the 109th time Saturday in Lawrence.  It's the 13 th most played game in college football.  To call this a 'storied' rivalry would be a bit of a stretch. KU has dominated the all-time series, but has struggled greatly against Bill Snyder.  The Wildcats have won 14 of the last 15 matchups under the K-State leader by an average margin of 31 points and were 59-7 winners in Lawrence a year ago. A scheduling quirk with the departure of Nebraska and Colorado from the Big 12 has this game back in Lawrence for a second straight year, just as Texas A&M will go into Manhattan for a second straight season in three weeks.

The University of Kansas introduced Charlie Weis as its 37th head football coach Friday. Weis says he's already told the players to enjoy their Christmas break because when they come back in January, it's not going to be pleasant. He says it's going to be a challenge to close the gap and become a winning team.  "I'm not the greatest coach in the world, I'm an old ball coach that's what I am," Weiss said. He says his mentors and experience at the pro and college level have prepared him for this job. Weis says over the years, he's learned to show humility but he's never lost his passion or drive to win. "I want to win, I'm a bad loser.

Kansas sophomore quarterback Kale Pick hit redshirt freshman wide receiver Christian Matthews for a 37-yard touchdown with just over two minutes remaining to give the Blue team a 14-10 win against the White team in KU's annual spring game here Saturday afternoon. An estimated crowd of 12,500, on a cloudy day at Kivisto Field at Memorial Stadium, saw KU cap its first spring football workouts under new head coach Turner Gill. Matthews broke in front of his defender while Pick's pass was in the air and raced the final 10 yards for the score capping a 70-yard drive.
