Freeman fails first test

[KSU4ME]

Lynn Dickey is saying that Josh failed his first physical test.

So we may have our winner for the first PUP candidate.

I freakin' love PUP test drama.  Every team should make this stuff public.  Awesome.

[Pett]

He came into fall practice five pounds too heavy, and he knows that. If true, having to take the test again isn't a bad thing at all....

[cireksu]

phoggies everywhere are jerking off.

[catzacker]

Outstanding.  I was hoping for a name player on the PUP list to start practice.

Remains to be seen if he'll go PUP.

As J-Mart would say, some players are more equal than others under Prince.

I don't see how a kid that passed it last year can regress.  Yes, he put on weight but all we hear is how he added muscle.  Either the strength coach isn't teaching flexibility/conditioning or Josh got fatter.  There really is no other way to see this right now unless Josh slipped or something.

Ron is a f*cking genius.

The "Machine" is just starting to get warmed up....

[KSU4ME]

I would love to see the reaction if the Olathe practice features Carson and Caleb under center.

I bet Carson was buying Freeman donuts and pizza all summer.

[Poopley]

He'll be under center all but the end of practices when they do the fun stuff -- the freestyle scrimmage. While that's going on, all the PUP guys have to do stuff like run stairs. I guess in the public scrimmages, the PUP guys get humiliated a little more, but it isn't like he won't be practicing.

This was the shuttle that they ran last week at the end of summer conditioning. The first fall camp shuttle run is today (unless he ran it this morning and he failed)

I wouldn't worry too much about the PUP test for Freeman - just to give an example, even though he is 20-30 pounds heavier than some of the D-ends, he is required to run the shuttle 5-6 seconds faster. I'm guessing he won't be standing on the sidelines in sweats like some of the guys last year were required to do.

YESSSSSS, some real football news!!!!!

Worried?

Not at all.

Amused?

Yup.  I don't mind the star player getting a dose of humility, but would kind of like to see the team leaders set a high standard.

[kougar24]

What skill position players were on last year's PUP list?

[vanro031]

This is funny. Mr All-World can't pass a test at little ole KSU. KSU, the 2nd best school in Kansas..

[kougar24]

ku fans are taking this as proof that Freeman is "immobile" as they've been claiming. LOL

[catzacker]

Speaking of failing tests, what was Purify's BAC?

Seriously, if you think none of your players drink and drive than you are delusional.  It just so happens, none of your boys have been caught.

Yeah, they're smart(er)

I think ku fans can just take last year's game in Lawrence as proof the Freeman is "immobile."

[The Manhatter]

and supposedly he's running the shuttled time w/ the skill players.

If true I hate it that our 260lb QB can't run like a corner.

[NorthChamps07]

what will be amazing is when a 6'6" 260 lb QB passes the test at the same speed as corners and wr's.  From what I heard he got the 50 seconds the first two times and was close on the third. Prince could have made it easy on him  and have him run it with TE/LB's and get 6 more seconds. Humility is good but over coming adversity is even better!  Ad Astra Per Aspera!

you're named after a "Pooh" or the unattractive chick from "The Wonder Years".  congratulations!

Prince wants to make Josh another receiver from the backfield.

Hell yeah she is. 

And my guess Prince not passing Freeman has more to do with team politics and making a statement to others than anything else.  Something tells me he'll still take a few snaps this year.

Oh, and he's really not all that mobile.

Best of both worlds, Freeman passing to Freeman.
