Coach Mark Mangino announced his signing class at 3:30 p.m. yesterday (full list below) and we now have a clearer picture on positions for the class. Ryan Murphy will indeed play at wide receiver which means they added four wideouts to the mix yesterday (Johnathan Wilson, Rell Lewis and Dezmon Briscoe.
The only small surprise on the day was the announcement that KU had withdrawn it's scholarship on DE Aaron Mack.

KC Star Recap
"His high school coach, Randy Copeland, said Boyd-Anderson rushed for more than 500 yards in his first two games as a senior before opposing defenses began stacking the box. He still finished with 1,674 yards and 18 touchdowns."
Wichita Eagle Recap
"Seven of KU's prep signees came from Texas. The Jayhawks also added a Texan from the juco ranks, safety Patrick Resby, who signed in December.... Lawrence Free State running back Brian Murphy, twin brother of signee Ryan Murphy, will walk on.... The speed rusher KU thought it had in juco defensive end Aaron Mack didn't work out. Mack, who played for Phoenix College, couldn't sign in December because of academic issues. Those same problems continued and KU withdrew its offer."
