Recruit: A busy summer
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
If signed, Cote would have the experience of a junior college transfer with the ability to stay for the full four years of eligibility. The high school and university system is different in Ontario, and Cote has attended a Quebec prep school and would be 20 years old as a freshman.
Cote's prep school coach, John Dangelas, told Jon Kirby of alliancesports.com that Cote was impressed with the Kansas program.
"We have a good feeling about Kansas," Dangelas said. "I'm happy with the way we've been treated by coach Dougherty and coach Williams. They have been very fair and honest about everything. Bernard wouldn't take an official visit unless he was serious about a school. I think Kansas and coach Williams speak for
themselfs along with the type of kids in their program."
The three other big men scheduled to visit Kansas in the fall are Jeff Graves, a 6-8 forward from Iowa Western Community College; Brad Buckman, a 6-8 forward from Austin, Texas; and Kevin Bookout, a 6-8 forward/center from Stroud, Okla.
The only guard scheduled to visit Kansas so far is Hassan Adams. Adams, a 6-4 shooting guard from Los Angeles, will visit Lawrence on Sept. 8, the same weekend that his home-town UCLA Bruins battle the Kansas football team at Memorial Stadium.
The summer is the busiest time for recruiting, and Williams said this summer was no different. With many of the nation's best high school players participating in all-star camps and AAU tournaments, Williams traveled across the country frequently.
"It's been a good summer, but a busy one," Williams said. "It's hard sometimes for people to understand that the summer is about the busiest time of the year. During the season, I go to practices or games and then I go home, but in the summer — particularly July. August and September — it's very difficult because of all the travel with recruiting."
In other recruiting news, Chris Booker, a 6-9 forward from Tyler (Texas) Junior College, has dropped Kansas from his list of possible schools. Kansas was once considered the front-runner on Booker's list, but Booker told alliancesports.com that he had narrowed his choices to Purdue, Texas Tech, Washington State and Louisville.

"I've seen guys who work hard in the off-season, spring practice and have carried it over into practice. As long as we do that, we've got a chance," Hayes said.
Defense: Facing the future

Hayes, 52, will take over a unit that ranked ninth in the Big 12 Conference in total defense, surredering just more than 400 yards per game. The defense was susceptible against the pass, as it surrendered a conference-high
Hayes knows little about Kansas' performance last year. From his attitude, it's clear he doesn't care.
57. 9 completion percentage.
His concern lies in the future, particularly the next 11 games.
Hayes has drawn the blueprints, it's now up to the players to produce results.
Nate Dwyer, a team captain and second team All-Conference selection last year, said the addition of Hayes was already paying dividends.
"Practices have been so different this year," Dwyer said. "We're being worked a lot harder, and we know the coaches know what they're talking about."
Hayes said the ingredients were in place to win football gmaes in Lawrence.

Offense: Grasping changes quickly

"They both give us a lot of the same things," he said. "If we didn't think that they both could win, then there would not be an issue. They're both getting along well in the new offense."
Scherer said that the whole offensive unit, not just his top
quarterbacks, was thriving. With so many changes made since the beginning of two-a-day practices, he feared his new players would take time to grasp the nuances of the new style. Scherer said he was delighted by how far the offense had come.
"It has shocked me, to be honest with you," he said. "We probably had anticipated chaos early, but it went so smooth. We are still further along than I thought we would be. We got there a lot quicker."
