Favorite Schools: Missouri is the only school that's shown any interest so far, so they would be both the favorite and recruiting the hardest.

Colorado: "I like the weather there, because I like the snow."
Oklahoma: "I would just like to go there."
Kansas State: "I've liked them as a fan since I was little."
