Signing Day coverage highlighted by live chat with OL Phil Ford

Signing Day 2011 is set for Wednesday, and KUSports.com will be there bright and early to provide updates throughout the day.

In addition to Matt Tait’s “Tale of the Tait” signing-day blog, which will track the progress of the 25 or so future Jayhawks scheduled to slap their John Hancocks on a national letter of intent, we’ll aslo provide video links, coverage from Kansas University coach Turner Gill’s news conference and a live chat with Phil Ford, an offensive lineman from Bishop Miege High who is scheduled to sign with the Jayhawks Wednesday morning.

The chat with Ford is scheduled to begin at 3:45 p.m. Wednesday, but you can submit your questions now.

KU’s Class of 2011 has picked up steam during the past few weeks and has been ranked as high as the 31st-best class in the nation by some outlets. Throughout the process, Ford has been one of the most visible KU recruits, not only because of his 6-foot-6, 320-pound frame, but also because he has hit the recruiting trail hard to entice others to join him. Log on to ask Ford about his own goals for 2011 or about any of his future teammates.
