Title: exciting young players
Post by: Waggs on May 04, 2009, 09:25:35 PM
These are some of the guys (Freshmen and Sophomores) that I am excited to see play in purple and white for the next 3-4 years.  I'm surprised, given how old our team is, that I feel this good about the young players on the team.

Jarell Childs
Braden Wilson--he may end up being one of the best of the bunch, behind Harold
Travis Tannahill
Clyde Aufner
Colten Freeze
Zac Hanson
Brandon Harold
Raphael Guidry
Kadero Terrell
Alex Hrebec
Tysyn Hartman
Ryan Doerr

Guys for this fall, a handful of the true frosh will probably step up:
John Hubert
Timothy Flanders
Marcus Kennard--despite our talent at WR, his height could be useful
William Lawson
Thomas Ferguson
Emmanuel Lamur
Angelo Pease--could see time at CB
Carlton Callender
Courtney Thompson

Hilarious how people think because he played for Smith Center he's going to be amazing.  He'll probably be one of the worst players on the team.

I dunno.  As a program, I think Smith Center is freakin' amazing.  That doesn't mean that many of their players are going to be solid D-1 contributors, though.

Anyway...I'm excited about Brandon Harold.  I honestly haven't seen enough KSU football lately to know much about most of these other dudes.  Aufner isn't just a sophomore is he?

I'd love to hear who thinks a dude who played 2A (in Kansas) will be a good D1 player. The odds of anyone from that level of play being a solid contributer are very small.  If he does anything for this team, it'll all be gravy as far as I'm concerned.

No reason Wilson can't develop into a very solid FB here.  Its not like you usually take some 4 star guy and make him a FB.  I definately thought he looked like a guy who can be a very good player at that spot on Saturday.  Solid as a blocker, but I liked that he showed he could leak out on boots and play passes and catch the ball.

Amazing that some people think if your parents live in a small school district it mean you'll never be capable of becoming a D1 football player.  NU was almost built using them, hth.

Yeah, because playing against 2A talent and training using 2A facilities will really get you where you need to be to compete at the D1 level.

So if you go into a weight room in a small school, does the 50-lb plate weigh less than it does at a 5 or 6A school?

I just don't agree with the absolutes and downplaying of 3/2/1A kids from KS.   I mean hell dudes, there are plenty of them from KSU's history who were able to play with anyone.  The #fracking1 player in the country just came from a school who plays teams comprised of the same type talent/training in 1/2/3/4/5/6A KS high schools.

 And SD, I LOL at the makovica clan reference, and no, I'm not taking the time to dig through their history, accept it or don't.

Knew a kid from a 1A school was going to play D1 but hurt his neck the last week of school not sure what he was doing.  He played 2 years of Juco ball but never was quite the same.

Didn't win state last year.  Actually lost like 3 or 4 games, one to Brandon Clark's Derby squad.  And you may want to go back and research Hutch's D1 caliber players.  Just because they didn't play in Kansas doesn't mean they didn't play D1.

(Why do they have so much money you may ask?)  Think OIL.  SW KS has one of the largest natural gas reservoirs in the country.  Schools are banking along w/ the farmers who have oil wells on their land.
