			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Kansas Jayhawks brought in a strong recruiting class of 26 junior college and high school football players. Some of the guys, will be counted on to play right away for head coach Charlie Weis as they look to improve upon last season&#8217;s 1-11 record. However, the recruiting class didn&#8217;t hit upon everything the team lacked. Here are some of the classes weaknesses:</p>
<p>Question mark at quarterback: The duo of Montell Cozart and Jordan Darling, have potential to be good, yet each have their downfalls. Jake Heaps is awaiting his turn next season after sitting out a season at the position, per NCAA rules from his transfer from BYU. Michael Cummings also returns, looking to improve upon last season&#8217;s freshman campaign.</p>
<p>Secondary problems: Another spot where Kansas addressed their problem yet failed to follow through with it. Isaiah Johnson is an elite JUCO prospect who will step in right away. Yet other then Johnson, Cassius Sendish and Kevin Short, a first-team NJCAA cornerback, the Jayhawks lacked depth.</p>
<p>Short, almost changed his mind at the last minute, only to affirm his stance with Weis and the Jayhawks once again on Wednesday. He announced earlier on in the day, his intentions of signing with New Mexico.</p>

<p>The Kansas Jayhawks football team finished 1-11 last season, yet brought in a great haul through recruiting today. Head coach Charlie Weis signed the final 16 prospects today after 10 already signed in December for the program. The recruiting class has been viewed as one of the top 25 classes nationally by some recruiting pundits. Here is a look at some of the bigger names signed on the list.</p>
<p>Marquel Combs: This four-star recruit will instantly shore up the defensive line for the team. Combs, is a four-star recruit who chose the Jayhawks over 49 other teams who offered a scholarship from Pierce Community College. Kansas State was amongst the teams who offered.</p>
<p>Chris Martin: Another four-star defensive lineman,who played at Florida, while Weis was there. Martin, is from the City College of San Francisco. He had other offers from Nebraska, and Houston along with other schools.</p>
<p>A big group of three-stars then followed the defensive lineman duo. The group&#8217;s headliners include: Mike Smithburg, who starred as an offensive lineman for Iowa Western Community College. Smithburg, can play all positions on the line.</p>
<p>Isaiah Johnson: Another JUCO guy, Johnson led the junior college ranks last season in interceptions with eight. His junior college, Iowa Western Community College won the junior college title. Johnson, is a high-powered safety who will instantly help bolster the secondary.</p>
<p>Montell Cozart and Jordan Darling: The two quarterback prospects signed by Weis. Each have their own set of qualities, as Darling is more of the standard quarterback, and Cozart counters as a more mobile guy.</p>
<p>Here is a look at a couple strong wide receivers, Weis signed:</p>
<p>Rodriguez Coleman: Wide out from Garden City Community College, Coleman led his conference last year in receptions and yards. Signed with the Jayhawks, over Cincinnati along with other prospects.</p>
<p>Ishmael Hyman: Another three star receiver, Hyman has the potential to be one of the quickest players ever at Kansas. He chose the Jayhawks over Purdue, Rutgers and Syracuse.</p>
<p>Linebackers signed include Samson Faifilli, who chose the Jayhawks over Oregon State, Hawaii, and Iowa State. Faifilli, is a three-star player who is from American River Community College.</p>
<p>Marcus Jenkins-Moore: Another linebacker and a three-star player. Moore, is from Pierce Community College, and will come in and play. Moore, chose the Jayhawks over Kansas State, Arkansas and Texas Tech.</p>
<p>Colton Goeas: A high school linebacker, Goeas is another three-star player. He chose the Jayhawks over Tennessee and UCLA. Goeas, is from St. Louis High in Hawaii.</p>
