New Kansas football coach Les Miles didn’t hold back his enthusiasm for the 19 KU signees announced during Wednesday’s news conference at Anderson Football Complex.
“This class will have the ability to compete for championships,” Miles said. “It’s the style of team, the speed, that will develop and develop nicely.”
Overwhelmingly, Miles looked to one attribute in particular to improve his team’s roster: size.
That was most evident on offense. New quarterback and likely starter Thomas MacVittie is 6-foot-5, with Miles even commenting on that stature — “Wait till you see him” — as he watched a highlight video of the quarterback during Wednesday’s festivities.
