The Kansas Jayhawks have won just nine games the past four seasons, and expectations in Lawrence are not exactly high. However, former Texas A&M and Kansas wide receiver coach David Beaty was tabbed as head coach this offseason. His recruiting ties in Texas were a big reason for the hire, and Jayhawk fans at the very least are hoping for some improvement.
If the spring game Saturday was any indication, Kansas may have a long way to go.
The 2008 Orange Bowl champs lost their starter Michael Cummings to a knee injury during the game, and Beaty announced that running back Corey Avery (the team’s leading rusher from a season ago), and Rodriguez Coleman, the most experienced returning wide receiver, were suspended indefinitely for violating team rules.
