'Hawks sign 22 football players
Kansan sportswriter
By Matt Doyle
The benefits of an 8-4 season and a victory in the Alaho Bowl have begun to reap rewards for the Kansas football program.
Coach Glen Mason announced yesterday that 17 high school and five junior college players had signed letters-of-entition to play football for the Javahawks.
"I'm very pleased with our recruiting class," Mason said at a press conference at Parrott Athletic Center. "We talked about it this morning. This is the most talented group that we've had."
Mason evaluated this class on terms of overall talent and specific needs the Jayhawks were looking for.
One area Mason and his staff recruited heavily was the defensive secondary, a position that the Jayhawks have suffered losses at because of graduation during the past two seasons.
"We set out over a two-year period to recruit a large number of defensive backs," he said. "Mark Dantonio, our secondary coach, will have a lot of guys to work with."
Kansas came up with a gem in Tony Blevins, a 6-foot, 170 pound USA Today All-American from Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo.
"He is one of the truly outstanding defensive back products in the country," Mason said. "He's a local guy that could have gone to any school he wanted. We're very fortunate and very excited to have him."
In addition to Blevins, Kansas signed four other defensive backs.

including Dennard Hutchinson, a 6-4, 195 put defensive back from Dania, Fla., who reminds Mason of former Jayhawk defensive back, turned linebacker Hassan Bailey.
"Dennard's a big defensive back, kind of like Hassan Bailey," he said. "He's a tall guy who could play free safety or strong safety, or maybe become an outside linebacker like Hassan."
With a vacancy created at quarterback by the graduation of Chip Hillary, the Jayhawks also signed four quarterbacks; Isaac Byrd of St. Louis; Rodney Hogan of Independence Community College; Matt Johner of Costa Mesa, Calif., and Darrin Simmons of Dodge City Community College.
Mason said that every year he wanted to recruit the best quarterback
prospects possible and liked the quar-
terbacks that the Jayhawks signed.
"Iaasc Byrd is a tremendous athlete," he said. "He has the ability to do it all. He has a great arm and great athletic ability."
Mason said Johner compared favorably to former three-year starting quarterback Hilleary.
"He is a eyewear scrappy player who fits into our scheme of things," he said.
Unlike his first two recruiting classes where players such as Tony Sands, Gilbert Brown and Keith Lonerek had to contribute as freshmen, Mason expects that most of the high school recruits will not play right away.
"If they are good enough, then they will play," he said. "If they are better than what we've got, then that's great."
Senior Tim Corzine, who competes in the backstroke and freestyle events, warms up during practice.
Swimmers to get taste of Cornhuskers

Nebraska has dominated men's swimming in the Big Eight Conference, winning 13 consecutive conference titles.
Kansas swimming coach Gay Kempf hopes this year's team can end Nebraska's hold on the conference title. His No. 20 Jayhawks will get their opportunity to prove their worth against the No. 16 Cornhuskers tomorrow at the Bob Devaney Sports Center Pool in Lincoln.
The No. 10 Kansas women also will face Nebraska, ranked 24th
"This is just the battle before the war." Kempf said. "Our preparation points us toward the conference championships."
Nebraska has been off for two weeks since recording
victories against Iowa and Iowa State. The 121-118 victory against the No. 11 Hawkeyes was a big victory for the 'Huskers, according to swimming coach Cal Bentz.
"It was a very heated battle that both teams never want to lose," he said. "This weekend will give us an opportunity to test our progress so far this season." The depth of the lynchman team concerns Bentz.
"Kansas covers all of the events well," Bentz said. "We need to be ready to have some of our top performances so far this season in order to compete well because we can't control what Kansas does."
Although this meet is important for both teams, both coaches know that this meet is just preparation for the Big Eight Championships March 4-6 in Oklahoma City.
"we go everywhere to win, but this is just another step along the way to the conference meet," Kempf said.
Bentz said that dual meets were less important than both the Big Eight Championships and NCAA Championships.
"Those two meets are the measure of success or failure," he said.
