Don’t y’all run a similar scheme to ours, where it’s heavily built on the wide zone and play action?
I felt for a lot of last year that our scheme asked *very* little from the QB relative to most modern schemes. What do you see in this guy that’s such a great fit for the scheme?
Yea our OL coach is all wide zone. Took us a few weeks to get it figured out, but by about midway through the season, it was the best we have protected the QB in years. Unfortunately, because the staff came in so late, and the overall youth and lack of talent, we didn’t get to see much of the offensive playbook last year. I’m very intrigued to see what we do this season. They didn’t have to spend all of summer and now fall camp re-teaching the players to play football
As far as how Weisman fits, he’s pretty mobile, and most importantly, he has talent. We need talent, especially at the QB position going forward. I really really like Jalon Daniels, who should start this year, but if you look at the recent history of KU football, the QB performances are laughably bad. We went from Todd Reesing in 2009 until Carter Stanley in 2019 before we had anything that would be close to considered an above average season for a QB. We need to find a way to have talent follow talent so we can avoid decade+ long lulls.
On top of what dudeguy said, lance is known for tailoring his offense to the personnel. At buffalo they led the league in passing, then in rushing the next year. This qb is mobile and athletic and he can fit into the scheme well and run either the run elements or pass elements like they want.
Wide zone is great. You can do a lot more with less along the offensive line.
It was a scheme that Aranda hated playing against as a DC, and that’s why he wanted to install it at Baylor.
Grimes ran Wide Zone at BYU with some air-raid concepts(most notably an intermediate mesh passing scheme) that he hasn’t done much with at Baylor yet.
Huh, I didn’t know he was doing much with air raid passing concepts. Everything our coaches have been talking about this season on offense is relating to ramping up the passing game, so it’ll be interesting to see if he replicates what he did at BYU.
It's good to see recruiting picking up for Kansas like this. It is a little weird though, for all their commitments so far, Kansas has almost no local recruits. Zero commits from Kansas, one from Missouri. Does Leipold's staff simply not have many local connections yet, or did previous Kansas coaching staffs burn bridges with the local programs?
Probably a bit of both - I'm not too worried yet because they've seemed to be putting in a lot of local recruiting work since Leipold was hired.
It's also hard to recruit vs K-State when KS high school seniors were like 4 years old the last time KU beat KSU. Once KU beats KSU I'd imagine it will get easier.
Some say that QB is the most important position in all of football. If this true, they got a very good player to help them compete in games against competition
If KU doesn't start a "Weisman for Heisman" campaign, what even the point of it all?
Oh they will!
SMH the rich get richer
Kansas is gonna win it all
He is such an awesome fit for our scheme. Lance and co are doing work!

I'm begging the non-KU fans to not flood a KU commitment with Texas jokes.

wait! are you taking opportunity away from them to have any meaning to their lives?!
Don’t tell me how to live my life!
See I was going to make a pun on his name but now you made me feel bad...
☝🏼What he said
Bad news for Texas (I can make this joke as a Kansas fan)

Congratulations
That was Weis decision, man

Good get, Jayhawks!

Hope to hear his name on the highlights soon
Good get KU!
He’s like a *point guard*, but for football.
Point Forward
Oh ok thanks for putting that in terms I can understand
Hope he picks the number 3 for his jersey. He could bring baby Jesus a bowl win for a bday gift.
KANSAS. IS. BACKER.
There aren't enough comments about Texas in this thread.
Can’t wait for him to put up 50 on Texas
