How 2013 class will shape Weis' fate

By Vince Verhei

The Kansas Jayhawks signed 25 players in their 2013 recruiting class, including a whopping 17 junior college transfers. ESPN.com Big 12 blogger David Ubben explains that despite the inherent risk, this was probably coach Charlie Weis' best option. However, he also says this strategy could blow up in Weis' face and set the Jayhawks back severely:

All or nothing for Weis, Kansas
"In the perfect world, KU picks up some momentum and wins 4-5 games this year before fielding a team with a real chance to make a bowl in 2014. In a very possible nightmare scenario, KU isn't much better this year and wins 2-3 games before winning 3-4 in 2014 and all those jucos graduate, leaving either a bunch of other jucos who probably aren't much better than this class, or a team that has to stock its roster with tons of freshmen who still need to be developed, and maybe offer some scholarships to guys who wouldn't receive them if KU was not in such dire straits."
