“I’m not real happy with the way things are right now,” Prince said.

“I would have said yes going into the last couple of days,” Prince said when asked if somebody had emerged as placekicker, “but right now I’m very undecided.”

“I’ve seen a lot of improvement in the offensive line, but I’m trying to find a left guard. We don’t have one,” he said. “Right now, it’s open tournament to see who can be the left guard when we go play Auburn, and I’m not real pleased with any of the candidates right now.”

“We need to be a tough, hardened, calloused team to win the games we want to win. The mental part — I’m not real pleased with it,” he said.

He's greasing the skids so y'all won't take it quite so hard when the team goes 3-9 this year.  Or at least Prince will be able to say, "I told ya so." :popcorn:

It sounds like that offensive line just keeps improving under the guidance of Ron Prince.  No left guard?  No problem.

We always forget about the misunderstood mega-talent that ku fields year in and year out.

Validation factor is high . . . repeat validation factor is high.

He is worried about left guard, but the 270 lb Center is just fine?  OK.   :ohno:

Just a side note, if it weren't for that trick knee Jayhoax would've been a 5 star out of high school.

Sounds like Prince woke up and discovered he's the head coach of the KSU football team. I wonder how long until he pulls a "Huggins" and gets the hell out of Manhattan?

Don't even need a LG when you have the best RB duo in the history of college football.

I simply don't buy the notion that ku's offensive line is going to reload and be soooo good this year.

They'll find out quickly how good Cornish's running made the line look last year...and on top of that.....they lost three seniors off that line.

270 is the weight of USC's center the year they won the national title?


Wait....that's a "midget" recruit.

No wait....WEIGHT has so MUCH to do with the effectivness off a linemen.

LOW FBIQ. :blahblah:

Bedore who is right around 300 is back as the number 1 center for now.

Besides, i would have have a 270 pound OL than a 5'9" QB
