FOOTBALL Recruits perfect for undefeated team
Sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb is the team's most highly touted recruit out of high school, given four stars by various recruiting services.
LAWRENCE — Kansas has jumped out to an B-0 start this season despite having only one four-star, blue chip recruit on its depth chart.
Quarterback Todd Reesing, who has been mentioned as a candidate for various national honors this season, was listed as a three-star player out of high school. Defensive lineman James McClinton and running back Brandon McAnderson and Jake Sharp also were rated with three stars.

"We got a bunch of guys that nobody really wanted," said McAnderson, who ran for 178 yards and two touchdowns in the Jayhawks 19-11 win at Texas A&M on Saturday.
leading receiver, Marcus Henry, received only one star.
Reeing, the Jayhawks' star sophomore quarterback who has passed for 1,985 yards and 17 touchdowns, was offered a scholarship by only one other university, Duke, coming out of high school.
"It was disappointing, the whole recruiting process, because I didn't get recruited by a lot of people," said Reesing, who passed for 3,343 yards and 41 touchdowns during his senior year at Lake Travis High School in Texas. "But nothing ever hurt my feelings. I don't look back and regret anything. I'm glad I ended up where I am, and obviously it's working out better than I could have ever expected, so no regrets there."

VOTED:
2. Boston College — Now THAT is a good win.
1. Ohio State — If Ohio State wins its next three games, I guess it deserves to be ranked this high.
3. Arizona State — One really tough game down, three straight to go.
4. Kansas — If the jayhawks aren't ranked, I'm boycoting this poll.
Texas A&M's 74 rushing yards (4 in the second half) prove KU is for real.
5. LSU — Nothing lost in a bye week.
7. Missouri — The second best
offense in the country.
6. Oregon — The best offense in the country.
8. West Virginia — The third best offense in the country.
9. Oklahoma — Why does everyone assume the Sooners are the Big 12's best? Oh yeah, because of the name on their jerseys.
10. Georgia — This is based mostly on the Bulldogs' first touchdown celebration. That was awesome.
