Since 2005, Kansas has started 10, 9, 9, 12, 11, 10, 7, 9, 5, 4, 4, 6, 5, 5, 2, 2, 7, 6, 5, 5 and 3 White athletes. In 2026 they are projected to start 7.

Under Lance Leipold the Jayhawks have been the definition of mediocre with only one winning season in his 5 years as head coach (27-35 record at KU). Prior to Kansas he was a serviceable head coach at Buffalo with a 37-33 career record and before that he was head coach at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater and went an astounding 109-6 with 6 D3 championships. I've never delved into the demographics of those Wisconsin-Whitewater teams but I can imagine that from 2007-2014 in Wisconsin prior to the accelerated browning of Amerika he was fielding very White friendly teams. Needless to say he has a very similar region geographically to recruit from and has done nothing but disappoint at KU. Leipold loves his black QBs too.

Players to look out for are QB Cole Ballard, WR Keaton Kubecka, WR Tate Nagy, WR Bryson Hayes, DE Garrett Martin, DB Mason Ellis

Offense

LT Calvin Clements (6'7")

Leipold makes me think once more about this question we’ve raised countless times over the years - do these coaches that sellout after they made their careers on the backs of White athletes at smaller programs do so on their own accord? It really makes me wonder, as we know every large state school and nationally known private university, are under harsh affirmative action / DEI policies set by their far left presidents and governing boards. Even with President Trump attempting to roll back the overt discrimination policies, we know the universities run by these anti-White crazies won’t simply stop. They’ll just go back to getting less Whites in the schools by the more covert means they did pre peak-woke. Athletic programs!

So I say all of that to say, how much control does someone like Leipold really have at controlling the demographics of his program? I’d wager, not too much, if he wants to keep his kushy multimillion dollar salary each year. Would it be a stretch that ADs are vetted for their commitment to fulfilling I&D goals of the university during the interview process, and therefore the same expectation passed on to the HC during his hiring process? Knowing how corporate America works firsthand, I’d say not at all.
 
His early teams at Whitewater, were Whiter than his later ones. Still never dipped below 12/13 starters if I had to guess.
