Mason's recruiting reaps its reward
By Mark Spencer
Kansan sportswriter
Months of traveling, talking and recruiting resulted in 21 high school seniors signing letters of intent with the Kansas football team yesterday.
"I am excited about this recruiting class for a number of reasons." Kansas coach Glen Mason said. "For one, I think we were very successful in recruiting the in-state talent in Kansas. Two, we felt it was good for us. Three we were once again able to up our level of competition with other schools.
"And last, but not least," Mason said, "this group of 21 represents a pretty outstanding group of academicians."
Mason said that all of the new signeres would be eligible to play next year under NCAA regulations and had made the required ACT scores.
However, one player will have to complete a core-course requirement to gain eligibility but should be able to time to play next year, Mission sask.
"We are anticipating that we will last none to Proposition 48." Mason
Kansas had 25 scholarships available this season. Three of them have been distributed to walk-on tight end Pete Vane, transfer linebacker Pat Rogan and linebacker Steve Harvey who enrolled at KU this semester after rehabilitating his knee during the fall, Mason said.
There has been no decision regarding who will get the remaining scholarship. Mason said.
The Jayhawks signed nine linemen, position six, team needed to stop the Warriors from scoring.
"We really helped ourselves in the offensive line," he said. "Our players only had a few minutes."

a pool of quarterbacks. Mason said, "You can have a heck of a competition with the one that's the best coming to the forefront."
The Jayhawks did not recruit many running backs because Tony Sands, George White, Maurice Douglass and Chaka Johnson will return
"We would have liked to have taken another running back or two." Mason said. "It wasn't a top priority this year, but obviously next year, running back becomes a top, top priority."

It is unknown how soon the new
"I guess some of these guys will have a better opportunity than others, but I tell them all we're equal opportunity employers around here." Mason said. "If you're good enough to play, you will. I don't arbitrarily redshift across the board like some programs do."
The Jayhawks stayed away from junior college players and signed only high school seniors from nine states, including 10 from Kansas.
Allison, 6-foot-4 and 275 pounds,
chose Kansas over Colorado, Okla-
sone.
Heading the list is Parade and Super Prep Football magazine All-American Mark Allison of Minneapolis, Kan
Linebacker Tyler Quast of Hinsdale Central High School, Hinsdale, Ill., is the younger brother of former Pro Bowl quarterback in Conference linebacker Brad Quast.
Allen Wallace of Super Prep Football magazine said that Quattro, 6-foot 3 and 215 pounds, was not as big as Big Ten schools as his brother was.
"We knew about him early but lost contact with him," Wallace said. "He was a friend of ours."
Defensive back Spencer Bonner of Oak Park High School, Oak Park, Ill., chose Kansas over Minnesota and Illinois.
Bonner's high school coach, Gary Olson, said, "Spencer is an outstanding player and person. He has outstretched himself to help carry suburban area all-star team."
Defensive lineman Rod Jones of Henry Ford High School, Detroit, Mich., made 17 quarterback sacks his senior year.
Toledo team given place on schedule
The game has been scheduled for Sept. 7 at Toledo, Frederick said.
Kansas coach Glen Mason said the change was a smart move.
Kansas has replaced the University of Miami with Mid-American Conference cochampion University of Toledo on next year's football schedule, said Bob Frederick. Kansas athletic director, in a prepared statement yesterday.
"We also have a lot of players from that area of the country, about 30 I believe Oneonta." He said. "We are from the Ohio Detroit area.
"The third thing is that I don't think anyone would question that Miami is a premier college team. No one is going to argue that we have three premier college teams in our own league with Colorado, Nebraska and Oklahoma."
Mason said that he would have liked to have scheduled the game in Lawrence but that it was not possible.
Frederick said Kansas and Miami mutually agreed not to play each other.
Miami will play the University of Tulsa on Sept. 28 instead of playing Kansas.
