Encouraging to hear the status updates at the end. I had been a little concerned about the size of the class because of the number of seniors on this team (30+?). It would seem that it makes some sense to leave a few spots open just from the trajectory of the program as well. There are still plenty of people talking about the past decade plus of futility, and while the smart people recognize that wasn’t Coach Leipold at all, it is still a negative stigma that we need to get past. It would seem that it will take a longer track record of success the better the player is. It would also seem that the status of the stadium would impact that as well. It is impressive to see the transformation taking place, but if you just walked onto campus cold, it’s just a construction site. Not nearly as impressive as a big established stadium. By November, the stadium will be there. It will still need lots and lots of work to be ready for game day, but it will be there to see vs mostly a gaping hole.
The stadium is actually pretty impressive already. Seeing it on the video feeds didn't do it justice, but seeing it in person, it's already a towering structure. If anything, I think it's helping by showing obvious signs of growth in the program, and the players being recruited know that they be playing the first year in a brand new facility.
It’s being rebuilt. That’s why the home games will be in KC this year. Could have built a new one on the edge of campus but the current location is too prime.
Love the updates and quality , keep improving and developing players. This program-Liepold has "righted" the ship. RCJH!
Crazy to think that we lost an NFL draft pick and a 4 year starter udfa, but come back even stronger with 4&5* replacements.

Do you guys even have a stadium yet? 😂
