Rivals’ Top 15 Kansas football players
June 22, 2010 @ 11:08 a.m. by Joannaby joanna
I put up the Scout.com rankings last week, and now here’s how Rivals.com has ranked Kansas football players.
(Please note that I have not had any part in either of these rankings.)
The No. 1-ranked player is Bubba Starling, from Gardner-Edgerton. He has committed to Nebraska for football and baseball. The No. 2-ranked player is Circle’s Jordan Phillips, who has committed to Oklahoma. (Check out my story on his signing.)

Funny thing is, is that Morgan Burns is getting recruited hard for both RB and DB, I know hes had many D-1 Offers,and has alot of potential at the next level to be good.

In Morgan Burns behalf someone should let Hovpen know then. He is the rivals.com guy for our area. Rivals check out the actual offer first before they post it-with the recruiting Coach and everything. A lot of kids get mail….but sometimes its NOT an actual offer…..its interest really.
