Kansas University’s football team had its second big recruiting weekend wrap up Sunday with another oral commitment.

Richard Johnson Jr., a defensive end out of Jefferson City (Mo.) High, committed to Kansas on Sunday morning, according to Rivals.com. A 6-foot-4, 260-pound athlete, Johnson had offers from KU, Illinois and Ball State.

Rivals estimates that at least seven recruits took official visits on campus this weekend, including a couple who already have chosen KU – Sedgwick fullback Steven Foster and St. Louis quarterback A.J. Steward.

Talib honored: KU sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib was named second-team All-America by Sports Illustrated, which released its selections last week.

Talib had 28 passes defended this season (six interceptions, 22 breakups), easily the best mark in NCAA Division I-A. He did it while playing in only 10 games.

The sophomore has a chance to be on one of the Associated Press’ All-America teams, which are expected to be released this week.

Former Jayhawks pursued: Former KU offensive lineman Scott Haverkamp, who transferred a year ago and just finished a season at Butler County Community College, has committed orally to Georgia.

Haverkamp, who never cracked the starting lineup in his two years at KU, had an offer from Arizona State and strong interest from Florida State, according to Rivals.

Another former Jayhawk, tight end Jim Reuber, is being courted by Div. I schools out of Tyler (Texas) College, his third school in three years. Schools like Michigan State and Mississippi are showing strong interest.

Reuber red-shirted his only season at Kansas in 2004.
