Kansas received a commitment from former Arkansas wide receiver Neal Barlow, according to Rivals.com. Barlow, who orally committed to KU in 2008 before eventually signing with Arkansas in 2009, stands 6-foot-7 and was rated a three-star prospect, also receiving offers from Missouri, North Carolina and Tulsa.
From Little Rock, Barlow left Arkansas after his freshman season after suffering a foot injury. He decided to switch to basketball and played last season at Arkansas-Little Rock. Barlow will walk on to the program this season and won’t be eligible to play until next season.
Kansas freshman quarterback Brock Berglund pleaded not guilty to third-degree assault this morning in Colorado.
Berglund is scheduled to go on trial for the misdemeanor charge Dec. 13, after KU’s regular season ends. Berglund’s lawyer issued a statement today that said Berglund will report for KU’s training camp as scheduled Aug. 3.
Berglund, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound dual-threat quarterback ranked as a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, was charged with punching a man on April 9 during a party in Sedalia, Colo.
According to the public information officer at the Douglas County (Colo.) Sheriff’s office, the 18-year-old Berglund was “involved in an altercation with another male” and “struck the other party.” Berglund was not injured in the incident, but the victim sustained injury.
On June 24, Berglund was booked and charged with third-degree assault, a misdemeanor. He could face a minimum of a $50 fine to a maximum six months in jail and or a $750 fine.
