New football staff hopes to blend 29 recruits with current players
By Keith Stroker
Kansan sports writer
Sometimes the toughest thing for a freshman football player to do is adjust to playing on the major college level.
Football is more physical in college, said new Kansas offensive coordinator Pat Ruel.
Ruel said the new staff had just five weeks to recruit, compared to the normal time of a year.
"I feel we did a great recruiting job for the amount of time we had," Ruel said. "Next year, w will be established and have more time. We will concentrate more on the Kansas and Kansas City area kids. But if a young man can play the game, it doesn't matter where he's from."
The Kansas coaches recruited 29 men, including two junior college players. Ruel said the team was short on players in the skilled positions, including running backs. The Jayhawks recruited eight running backs.
Maybe the fastest of the backs is 5-foot-9, 185-pound Roderick Martin from Roosevelt High School in Dallas. Ruel said Martin's 400-yard relay team held the national high school record.
"Roderick comes from a family of great athletes," Ruel said. "His brother Roy will be competing in the Olympics this summer, in the 200-meter dash for the United States. In one game last year, Roderick carried the ball eight times for 137 yards. He will be a great addition to the team."
Martin, who only played football his senior year, also returns kick offs. Ruel said Martin returned three
kick off last season for touchdowns. Ruel said the kicking game would improve next year with the addition of B.J. Lohsen. Lohsen is a junior college transfer from San Joaquin-Delta Junior College in Stockton,
Calif.
"It is amazing how the kids have responded to his program," Ruel said. "This is the fastest transition and the best response I've been around so far. I'm really impressed."
Cain.
"B.J. was recruited by Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio State," Ruel said. "He is a junior who had a 42-yard pattent average his first two years. He can also kickoff."
