Ratliff coordinated the efforts of the entire staff, which was spread throughout the country getting the signatures of high school seniors.
In addition to the 15 high schoolers, KU also received signatures from eight junior college
"IM REALLY PROUD of this group," Ratliff said. "The students here at KU are really going to have something to watch next year."
The group of 23 includes many standout high school and junior college players, but the most familiar name belongs to Brian McBae.
McRae, a 6-foot, 170-pound defensive back and wide receiver from Bradenton, Fla., is the son of Kansas City Royals designated hitter Hal McRae.
McRae attended Blue Springs High School in Blue Springs, Mo., where he was a three-year starter and a second-team All-State selection last fall.
"He's a great athlete." Ratliff said. "He could play many of the skilled positions here."
RATLIFE SAID MCARE, who was also a baseball player at Blue Springs, might compete in both sports at KU. McRae chose KU over Missouri and Florida.
Johnny Granderson is a two-time All-Metro selection out of Southeast High in Kansas City, Mo. He was a two-year starter in football and also lettered in basketball and track. Granderson, a 62, 190-pound defense back, back, chose KU over Houston and

VAUGHN, WHO IS ALSO the second-leading scorer on Wyandotte's basketball team, chose KU over UCLA, Kansas State and Missouri.
Jayhawk coaches went far from Lawrence to sign several standouts. Although it lost standout linebacker Keith DeLong to Tennessee, KU found relief in 6-2, 15-4 linebacker and fullback Rick Clayton of Arvada West High in Arvada, Colo.
Clayton, the most highly recruited player in Colorado, earned All-State honors at linebacker and gained over 700 yards at linebacker position with one session sitting out three games with injuries.
"HE'S JUST LIKE DeLong, maybe bigger.
He's a great linebacker."
"He's from Kansas," Ratliff said, "but he wanted to play at a larger school, so he lived
Clayton, who anchored Arvada West's district champion 400-meter relay team in track, chose KU over Nebraska, Colorado and New Mexico State.
KU went east to get Pennsylvania prospects David Hlatky, a 64, 25-pound offensive tackle from Dillsburg, and 60, 18-pound safety Dan Crossman of Philadelphia.
Hlakky earned all-conference honors and started in the York County All-Star game last season. He was credited with 60 tackles and assists in leading Dillsburg to an 8-3 record and its third straight division championship.
HILATKY CHOSE KU over Syracuse and Air Force

Frederick leaves KU for job at Illinois State University
By CECILIA MILLS
Sports Writer
Bob Frederick, executive director of the Williams Fund and assistant athletic director at the University of Kansas, was appointed athletic director at Illinois State University
After spending nearly four years at KU, Frederick, 44, will replace Dian Ghormley, who resigned last fall. Frederick's appointment is subject to the approval of the Illinois Board of Regents but is scheduled to begin around July 1.
"The broadly based athletic program and its depth of success impressed me," Frederick said. "Naturally, my wife and I are excited to go to Illinois State University. It's an outstanding institution and a nice community."
ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY in Normal, ill., is a school of engineering with enrollment of about 20,000.
"We are very fortunate that Robert Frederick has accepted our offer." ISU President Lloyd Watkins said. "Rob's coaching and fund-raising experiences, and his educational background, will prove valuable to ISU as we look toward the future."
"It was part of my preparation for a directorship, he said. I didn't start looking at him, so I said to him, 'I'm not interested.'"
In 1984, Frederick completed his doctorate at KU.
FREDERICK GRADUATED FROM KU in 1962 and spent 15 years coaching and teaching before returning to Lawrence in 1977. Frederick said he came back to Lawrence after his college days and basketball coach for Lawrence High School so he could work on his doctorate.
He was KU basketball coach Ted Owens' assistant coach and then coached three years at Brigham Young University and two years at Stanford.
"He's been the greatest guy to work for." Konzem said. "Monte's on vacation right now, and we'll just have to see what happens. You need to be a really difficult guy to replace."
Monte Johnson, athletic director was unavailable for comment, but Frederick said he had been talking with Johnson about the job for the past two days.
RICHARD KONZEM, ASSISTANT director of the Williams Fund, was hired by Frederick in June 1881.

Tennessee signs Delong
By DAVID O'BRIEN Sports Writer
Lawrence High standout Keith DelLong said last night that he would sign a letter of intent Saturday with the University of Tennessee.
"I feel like all the pressure's finally off," DeLong said. "Now I can get back to my senior year of high school."
DeLong, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound all-state linebacker, chose Tennessee over Kansas at
"Tennessee has a great tradition," he said,
"and I really liked all the people there."
But Keith said the decision to go to Tennessee was his own.
"Plus, I have grandparents there, and it will give me the opportunity to play in front of you."
DeLong's father, Steve, was a defensive lineman at Tennessee. He won the Outland Trophy as the nation's best lineman during his senior year there.
"He really likes it there," Keith said about his father, "But he left it up to me.
"I really liked the business school, and I felt I could get a quality education there."
DeLong said he made the decision at his home Tuesday night.
"I sat down and talked with my parents," he said. "I've been talking to them all week." DeLong said his whole family probably would move to Tennessee.
DeLong complimented the recruiting pitch made by KU coach Mike Gottfried.
"He did a heck of a job," he said. "With the quality of recruits he signed, I think it just shows what a good job he's doing."
"I think KU's definitely on the way up." Bod Ratliff KU, recruiting coordinator, said that the Jayhawks had tried hard to sign DeLong.
"You like to get the hometown boy," Rathliff said. "And Ketha's a nice kid.
He was nice enough to come into the office to talk to him, his decision and thank us for recruiting him.

Coach champions women's sports
By TONY COX Sports Writer

Marian Washington, women's basketball coach, gets help when she makes important decisions in her life.
"I put my faith in the good Lord, and I trust that I will know what to do," she said. "My energies and my focus can then be on doing things over a longer times. That's the way I try to live life."
Washington came to KU after training as a discus thrower with Al Oerter, former KU track athlete. He advised her to come to KU for training from the track coach at that time, Bill Easton.
Washington has spent much of her energy over the years doing her best to improve women's sports, in particular, women's basketball.
She came to Kansas in 1972 as a graduate assistant in the Health. Physical Education department.
ONE YEAR LATER, she became head coach of the women's basketball team and the women's track team. It was the first year for women's track at KU. The 1973/74 season was the only season Washington coached track.
From 1973 to 1979, Washington was Women's Athletic Director.
When the men's and women's athletic departments merged in 1979, she resigned her new position as associate athletic vector to concentrate on coaching basketball.
"It's amazing the number of different hats I wore," she said. "I've had to work hard. I had some good people around me. I'm pleased that I can look back and see that I did share in the growth of women's sports here at Kansas."
A LOT HAS CHANGED in women's sports at KU since 1973, Washington said. In 1973, all of the women's sports combined could offer a maximum of tour scholarships, and they were often only partial scholarships. Now, there are 15 full scholarships available for her team.
"The changes in women's basketball at the University of Kansas have just been astounding," she said. "We've gone from seasons that highlighted Haskell Indian Junior Team and Emporia to teams with games against LA, Louisiana Tech and other powers."
Additional scholarships were one of the big boosts to the women's sports programs at KU, Washington said. She started a scholarship program in car washers and other fund raising projects.
"I COMMITTED MYSELF and our program at the time to a goal of $12,000 to be shared among 10 different women's sports." she said. "It wasn't a lot of money for us."
Washington's teams have been successful.
She has a 204-139 career record. Her 200th
playoff win came on Oct. 18.
"She's a teacher. That's what attracted me to Kansas. She's been a player so she understands things that help her to get the most out of players."
MARY MYERS, SENIOR guard for KU,
said. At this point, she's been a very big
girl. She's made it through the
morning.
Lynette Woodard, who played at KU from 1977 to 181 and now is an assistant coach for the Jayhawks, said, "I think that coach Washington is the best coach in the nation, not because I work for her, but because of how she taught me the game.
Woodard is the career scoring leader in the history of women's basketball with 3,699 points and competed for the 1984 U.S. Olympic team, which won the gold medal.
'She takes a lot of pride in having a personal relationship with all the players, not just the starters or the star player, but all the players.'
from ages 18 to 22, and those are important in growing and developing as a new
"I have a lot of respect for her," Shaw said. "When she was recruiting me, I was really impressed. I really felt she was sincere in my opinion." She was just different from the other coaches.
Sandy Shaw, freshman forward for KU, said Washington had qualities that set her apart from other coaches.
"I'm very positive about the community," she said. "We have the opportunity to do some things for all sports that other communities couldn't do. There's no reason people can't identify with women's sports."
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL HAS come a long way, but there is still a lot of room to grow.
"We bring in great teams, and it would be nice to have people respond to us."
would be nice to have people respond to us." Washington hopes the enthusiasm for women's basketball in other communities will come to Lawrence.
Iowa's women' team played Ohio State at Carver Hawkeye Ave in Iowa in front of
She mentioned an Iowa University game on Feb. 3 as an example that women's basketball can gain popularity now, not necessarily 20 years from now.
"IYVE BEEN OPTIMISTIC that Lawrence would catch on," she said. "We've had Lynette Woodard, one of the greatest players ever to have played the game, right here, and we bring in some great teams. People need to learn how to play well so they can pride in our women's program. More people are getting involved, but I think it can happen faster."
