KU ATHLETICS

247Sports.com: Northern Illinois transfer CG David Coit commits to Kansas
See also 247Sports.com (VIP): The Impact: What David Coit's commitment means for the KU roster
EXCERPT -
Coit will be a senior this season and it will serve as his final year of eligibility. For KU, the addition serves as further roster insurance should an injury take place.
For much of the offseason, it looked like KU was going to keep its final scholarship spot free to complete the sanctions from the IARP case. But with roster limits moving to 15 scholarship players next year (and I expect KU to expand its roster), there's no need for KU to vacate a spot this year if next year KU can vacate a 15th roster spot that could be hard to fill with a quality player.

✦ LFK weather forecast
Like the rest of the USA today, no matter the weather outside there is at least a ray of sunshine as the USA Olympics team prepares to head home on top of the sporting world again.
That is all for now.
ROCK CHALK!
