[prome05]

Looks like some great athletes that would be good to be surrounded by. 

[PowercatPosse]

Abana is pretty cut for being 295.    I can't wait to see Mr Patterson play on Saturdays

"Kansas State Football 2007"

We might be decent on defense.

 

[ksuno1stunner]

Cheatham has potential to overtake Garvin as my favorite player.

[fatty fat fat]

hatter, i'd love to see a comp. to last years d.

[KungFoooKitty]

For some reason 17-18 year old boys being drooled over seems a little umm

Is Abana enrolled/on campus yet?

Is Abana enrolled/on campus yet?

Nope, not yet. Keep hearing he'll be on campus on July 29th or around then. 

[dmartin]

Baldwin looks almost identical to Omar Epps.  maybe it's just me.

[K-StateProud]

Who is # 56 in the second picture?

Well, if Halle Berry is his tutor, it will be confirmed.

[geesiskryst]

Who is # 56 in the second picture?

It's Quintin Echols. Duh.

You're not a very good Kstate fan.

He graduated.  I thought the point was to show a picture for each of this year's projected starters.  That is why I asked.

He was referring to the other guy. Hence, Junior.

I was thinking the same thing.  Damn, our D is going to be good this year.

I can't wait til 9-1-07

Ya, thats right. He is taking a summer class elsewhere to remain eligible.

[ksuno1stunner]

Hey Hatter, I was scrolling through that and counting guys who could be impact players...I counted 10 of them!!!

When was the last time we had 10 guys you could count on?!?

 

[chum1]

When was the last time we had 10 guys you could count on?!?

1998!

1998!

OMG you're right! 

 

[KSU4ME]

1998 was the best team, but not the best defense.

[Pett]

2002 defense!!! Hard to come up with 10 "dependable" players for that D. They just played so well together and lead by TNT's and Newman. Also had the players on the line to get pressure.

Pierce
Buhl
Washington
Newman
Reese
Shull
Hickman

[KSU4ME]

I was thinking '99.

Simoneau
Howard
Fatafehi
Chapman
Butler
Cooper
Leber
Beisel
Johnson
Carter

The depth didn't suck either (included Johnson above, even though he was a backup).  McGraw and Newman were decent players off the bench. 

[Pett]

The 2002 defense was the best D that we have ever had IMHO. 1999 had the most talent, with more than 10 dependable players, but 2002 played so well together. 2002 had 3 linebackers who were explosive together and a lock down CB, & just enough players on the line to get pressure and athletes at safety. Walker & Washington.

Simoneau
Howard
Fatafehi
Chapman
Butler
Cooper
Leber
Beisel
Johnson
Carter

WOW at the NFL talent on the 1999 D.

[KSU4ME]

Chapman was drafted, by Cleveland.  His career was short lived due to injury and a drug bust.

Carter wasn't drafted, but played in the NFL for several years.

Johnson never saw the league to my knowledge, and became a grad asst. or something.

[The Manhatter]

the most talented secondary we had was 2000.

Cornerback

starters
Butler - drafted and still in league
Carter - not drafted but made several teams for a few years as free agent

depth
Newman - duh (lol at Tennessee in Cotton when Carter got hurt...2nd stringer even better)
Faggins - drafted and I believe still w/ Texans
Tyler - outstanding for nickel and a VERY underrated player for us


Safety

starters
McGraw - drafted and now w/ Chiefs
Cooper - drafted and now w/ Raiders

depth
Yates - very solid back up
Proctor - very solid as a back up

Legit NFL players not crossed out on my list.

[KSU4ME]

I'd take Carter's NFL career.

Paychecks as well.
