Zimmerman was the QB at Junction City, right? I think Rivals had him pegged as a Division II prospect. Did he end up walking on? Scholarship? Can't remember.....

Yes, and I'm sure Rivals has all kinds of scouts scouring Kansas football to make evaluations. He's a legit D-1 prospect. Gray shirted last year, scholarship this year.
Edit: It's probably not a good thing that he's second string this year. Would feel a lot better about the defense if he were able to red shirt and get a full year in the system before being second string as a freshman.

Yeah, same guy I was thinking of. Fringe D-1 prospect according to Rivals. Was mostly being recruited at schools like N. Ill, CMSU, etc. Cool if he works out.
-
D-line doesn't look bad. Secondary could be okay. LBs... Don't like Hrbec in there but I'm okay with they other 2, except they're a small unit overall. Harper not starting is probably a sign our WR corp is pretty good.
-
Now this may be a LFBIQ question, but did we move away from the 4-2-5? Shouldn't we have 3 safeties out there?
-
Butler is playing the hybrid lb/s spot, same as last year.
-
Should I be concerened with this?:
RT 71 Ethan Douglas (6-6, 300, So.-SQ) OR
75 Clyde Aufner (6-5, 300, Jr.-2L)
I kind of am.
-
Rumblings that Aufner was banged up but the staff hasn't made any mention of it.
-
Butler is playing the hybrid lb/s spot, same as last year.
That's what I thought, the listing as "CB" got me a little curious.
-
I think we will be running to the right this year.
isn't Manase Foketi suppose to be decent? or are there other reasons?
-
Maybe cause the RG is 346 lbs? Only thing I could think of...
-
It's weird to have an OL with an avg. weight of +300lbs. Seems so unconventional.

Tre Walker, I know Tre personally, we used to play basketball together. I gotta tell you he was one of the most immature douchebags Ive ever played with. He also thought he was the greatest thing God ever put on Earth. For the sake of KState football I hope he has matured and is actually coachable now. However, there is another part of me that kinda hopes he gets kicked off the team….For the record I always killed him in basketball lol

I have a feeling that Walker was schooling this dork and he is pissed so he ran to a BBS to talk crap cus he could not back it up.
-
How will Chris be utilized the most?
-
Harper? Dude isn't even starting. I kinda doubt we're going to go to extreme measures to get the ball in the hands of a back-up WR. He needs to get crap together and break into the starting line-up, I really don't want him to wind up a bust.
-
Why would you not want to put the ball in his hands? The guy is fast, very quick and has good vision in the open field.
-
I think we will run the Wildcat a lot with Harper, Thomas, and Klien. Also lots of HB pass and WR reverse pass option. There are going to be some incredible/creative plays this year on offense.
-
Why would you not want to put the ball in his hands? The guy is fast, very quick and has good vision in the open field.
Are YOU doubting SNYDER?
-
Generally, the starters are the best players you have. If Brod, Tremaine, and Quarles are outplaying Harper, I want the coaches to get the ball in their hands, not the hands of less talented players. :dunno:
-
Harper is being motivated, but I also hope it has to do with him being utilized elsewhere.
Do I agree with this style of motivation?
Absolutely not.
-
I understand what your saying.
But I still think were going to utilize his skills. via the Wildcat, throwing, running etc. And screens and quick slants.
-
You can't tell me it's better for the team to have Logan Dold on the field at Safety ahead of Harper. It defies all rough ridin' logic.
-
KO 19 Josh Cherry (6-0, 190, Sr.-3L) OR
10 Anthony Cantele (5-10, 186, So.-SQ)

I've heard some pretty insidery types saying this Cantele kid can regularly hit from 45+
Also that he can run 4.5 40. can you say fake FG attempt?

Harper will touch the ball a ton. It's just a depth chart.

I can't wait to hear all the super insidery knowledge this board has about the plethora of ways Snyder is going to work to get the ball in the hands of a 2nd string WR. As far as the wildcat goes, seems like it worked okay with the best player on our team running it. We're not going to throw the ball a ton, so I doubt that the 4th (or 5th or 6th) option will have a hell of a lot of catches in a game.

It's obvious that you know nothing about football, or life in general. But that makes sense, you're a 1 year old. I bet you're freaking adorable, in that "look at the ugly baby" way.
-
It's obvious that you know nothing about football, or life in general.
He's got a point jtksu.
-
Please enlighten me on the ways of football, as I am obviously an idiot. What offense is it that we run, the one where we gameplan around getting touches for our back-up WRs? The super secret offense where Snyder attempts to fool everyone by burying the better players behind the lessor players on the depth chart. The offense that some god damn wedding photographer from OK is so adept at dissecting. Cause in every other offense on the god damn planet, the best players get the most playing time and this structure is outlined by this thing called a depth chart.
-
I agree with jtksu about Harper, not thrilled about him.
Doesn't change the fact that jtksu is a smelly loser.
-
I think Harper has a bunch of talent and really want him to succeed but you guys are kidding yourself if you think he's going to get a bunch of touches in the spot he is currently in. I don't see him getting more than 2-3 catches until something changes. He didn't start in the spring game and he apparently hasn't done much to improve his stock. I want the best players getting the touches and if Chris isn't one of them, well sucks for him.
-
My guess is we run the double reverse 3 or 4 times a game for Harper.

Harper is one of the most athletically gifted guys on the team. If you try and argue with that, then you are a giant, smelly turd. You get the ball to your athletic playmakers. If you try and argue that, then you're a giant, smelly turd.
Basically, I'm calling you a giant, smelly turd.
-
I was kinda thinking Tremaine would get those reverses/double reverses. Harper is pretty fast but I think Tremaine is even faster. For some reason, I'm really excited about Tremaine this year. And obviously Brod.
-
I only use 2 fingers...
sheesh. :surprised:
On a related note, Mayfield at 350.. Wilson at 250.. It's gonna look like a Tijuana Donkey show out there. Gaping holes everywhere. right?
-
I was kinda thinking Tremaine would get those reverses/double reverses. Harper is pretty fast but I think Tremaine is even faster. For some reason, I'm really excited about Tremaine this year. And obviously Brod.
I'm excited to see Brodrick Smith play next season. I've heard nothing but great things about him. My only concern if I were a K-State fan would be Coffman's ability to get him the ball.
-
Yeah, Carson's ability to get the ball to receivers is a major key to our success this year. We should have everything he needs on that side of the ball but it's up to him to actually execute. Kinda depressing to think that he will be central to our wins and losses this year.
-
On the Harper thing... I thought I read somewhere that Thompson was a better route runner and was able to get a little more seperation from the db. I believe the thought was that once the ball was in Harper's hand, he was money. I think they were talking about bringing Harper in and getting him the ball in other ways (screens, etc) where route running was not so much important, and then letting him utilize his athletism.
-
What's the deal w/ Quarles then? Can't Harper eventually take his starting spot?
-
Guys guys guys. Settle down.
Our starters are bound to get tired at some point. And when that time comes, guess who's going to be racking up the catches? :ksu:
-
Just a guess, but as Harper develops as a more polished reciever, I could see our recieving corp being Smith and Harper as the wide outs, and Thompson as the slot. Maybe that won't happen until next year, but that would still leave a couple years with a pretty decent line up at recievers.
-
The
LBers defense makes me want to cry.
-
Demarcus Robinson? :dunno:
-
Demarcus Robinson? :dunno:
The answer is "true freshman who is very talented but will greatly benefit from a redshirt year."

I want the best players getting the touches and if Chris isn't one of them, well sucks for him.
Just a question which I truly don't know the answer to......can anyone think of a high ranked recruit who transferred and then became a serious contributor to his new team? I can't....but I can think of a whole bunch of guys who didn't.
-
Isn't Harper running the Wildcat? :confused:
-
What's the deal w/ Quarles then? Can't Harper eventually take his starting spot?
jt, I don't post much and usually sit back and let everyone make their usual sarcastic, cryptic responses because they are usually humorous. I just can't take your ineptness any longer. You act like the coaches don't see these guys workout every day. I'm sure, just as everyone here, the coaches want to see Chris on the field (probably no one more than PW). And, I would guess from the close relationship that old balls has with Chris, he more than anyone would like to see Chris succeed. In coach speak, it's up to Chris.
Obviously, he will see the field more than you can realize. Just because he is second string the first week does not mean he will remain there. This depth chart, like many teams', is fluid. Give him more time. The coaches may want him to get his weight under control, or see a position change. Just an example, not saying I have insidery info. Maybe he is still coping with the position change and they want to bring him in a little slower. I would not be surprised if there are certain packages that are revolving around what Chris can do to help the team.
I personally, am excited for Tramaine. With the news we all have been getting throughout the off-season, how can anyone be surprised by Chris' current position on the depth chart?
:powerespect:
-
Anyone else notice that Foketi is listed at 300 lbs, which is 50 lbs lighter than he was when he transferred? Two-a-days are a bitch!

That's good question. I can't think of any either, though it happens with Juco players all the time (DT is a good example), so I don't think it's an issue with changing systems or trying to fit in. Frankly, I am kinda counting on it happening with Brod this year.
-
Jevon Snead comes to mind. I know he wasn't a heisman winner, but I thought that were pretty happy with him at ole miss.
-
Brull- Please continue to not post much because it is quite clear your reading comprehension skills are not up to par. Harper worked as a WR at Oregeon, and during his redshirt season/this current offseason at KSU. This is not a recent change. And I have actually been implying (during this entire thread) that the coaches have seen much more of Chris than we have and they have decided that he is not one our 3 best WRs. Chris has had an entire year to do nothing but prepare himself for this season. What makes you think he's suddenly going to make up lost ground in the middle of a season? :plainoldretardflag:
-
We all heard the chit about Harper being lazy, if he is - FCK HIM, let him ride the pine. JTs points are spot-on, go back and read them again if you are still questioning Harper being 2nd string.
-
That QB at Arkansas is pretty damn good. Guess Flacco, too, but he transferred to FCS Delaware. I just don't think a ton of upper-tier guys transfer much. Seems like it's usually guys who are upset with their lack of playing time.

My point was, and maybe misdirected, is that by no means should anyone write him off this early in the season. They haven't played a game yet. I don't think anyone on this board isn't familiar with where Chris has played in the past.
-
Oh, it certainly sounded like you considered Harper's move to WR to be a recent one. And no one is writing anyone off before we've played a single game. Trying to temper some people's outlandish expectations is more like it.
-
Isn't Harper running the Wildcat? :confused:
Weren't those just rumors?
-
If his shoulder is all healed up, he would be a natural to run it. But, if his shoulder was okay I think we would have given him a shot at beating out that group of stiffs we have at QB.
-
Harper would be the best fit in the wildcat IMO
-
The wildcat will also be a good time to feature DT and Hubert or D Rob on the field at the same time. I'm just not going to expect Harper to do much at this year. Hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised.
-
KSU depth charts released on Tuesdays are never still accurate come Saturdays.
-
True. Half the time the radio dudes don't even know who's starting until they actually take the field. Plus, we'll probably sub quite a bit this year at several positions.
-
Plus, we'll probably sub quite a bit this year at several positions.
I doubt it.
-
Bad teams sub a lot and are trying to find the right combination of players. Good teams sub less because they have dominant players. I have us marked down for lots of subbing.
-
Not entirely true. Some good teams sub a lot because they have quality depth and want to have fresh players. Some bad teams don't sub at all due to a lack of depth.
-
KSU depth charts released on Tuesdays are never still accurate come Saturdays.
After Harold quit the team last year wasn't he listed on the depth chart for the entire rest of the season?
-
Personally, I don't think having Harper be the primary "quarterback" in the Wildcat is such a good idea. Thomas is clearly a better, more powerful runner than Harper. That being said, I think it would be great to get Harper in the game in that position, but taking out DT for him is absurd.

I would love to see a version of the wildcat with both Thomas and Harper in the backfield. The idea of Thomas taking a direct snap and running with an option to pitch to Harper is very appealing to me.

Who said anything about Thomas coming out?
I envision it with Chris and Daniel together - Chris as QB.
Wilson with them sometimes, too.

So Brod will be returning kicks? seems like Tramaine would be doing this.

Several good points brought up in this thread.
First, no doubt the depth chart is being used to push Harper a little bit. No doubt he has some talent, but it could be that he needs to continue to mature. I think he'll be fine. Plus, even though he was here last year, once the season started he was likely a scout team guy, so while he was learning wide reciever skills, he wasn't learning our offense. It wasn't until the spring that he would've been full time in our system, but that's not any different than any transfer/red shirt. I have to think that starting out at QB at Oregon probably slowed him down a bit as well, but again, I think he'll be fine with time.
I've heard great things about Thompson, similar to Banks, but probably faster and a much more knowledgable about the system and what is expected of him. He has a chance to be an impact player.
As far as Smith being a return man ahead of Thompson, a lot of times it takes time for younger guys to get the return game figured out. I imagine before he's done here Thompson will be a very good return guy, but I think Smith will be too.

No way Thompson is faster than Banks - Thompson even admitted it. He may be quicker and have more agility but he doesn't have the same straight away speed that Banks has.

Very possible we may have 2 deep on kickoffs. Saying Tremaine is faster than Banks may be asking a little too much. Banks was one of the fastest players in college football. Tramaine does look to have better size than Banks though. I'm beginning to think some people don't have a real good idea of what the Wildcat formation is. Simply lining up a RB at QB does not make it the wildcat formation. You really don't add blocking backs to the formation, it's important that every play looks identical at the line of scrimmage. The only changes come after the snap in terms of handoffs or possible throws. And Harper was on the scout team last year but our offense isn't wildly different than any other out there. We don't ask our WRs to do anything that they wouldn't be doing in any of the offenses the scout squad may attempt to emulate. Chris should have a good grasp of what he needs to be doing. If someone else is outplaying him or outworking him...

That's why you create a new package similar to the wildcat that features blocking backs. We have 2 former quarterbacks playing on the offense at different positions. It seems like maybe we would want to take advantage of that.
-
Wildcat=Running QB in shotgun who is not normally your QB.
Let's leave it at that.
-
Guys I looked over the offensive depth chart again and the only answer I can come up with as to why Harper is so low on the chart is because we have so many more offensive weapons. I think it may have been there idea to cancel the series.
-
Why is everyone up in arms about Harper not starting again!?
-
The Wildcat isn't a system, it's a single formation. Anytime you deviate from it, you're running a different formation. Sure, we could move all sorts of people around to take adavantage of some of the unique talents we may have. Putting a running QB in with RBs and FBs in is more like a triple option attack than a wildcat. Also, the more backs you have in the less WRs you have available for possible passes. We didn't bring Harper in to play RB, we already have those. We brought him in to catch passes. The kid isn't a Percy Harvin type of players. He's bigger but slower.
-
Should I be concerened with this?:
RT 71 Ethan Douglas (6-6, 300, So.-SQ) OR
75 Clyde Aufner (6-5, 300, Jr.-2L)
I kind of am.
This is actually a very good thing. GoPo reported that Aufner was hurt badly again (re-injured the ankle he messed up during spring ball) and could miss the entire season. I had a little update on kstatriots.com that Clyde's injury wasn't as bad as originally thought. Looks like my source was right on.... :thumbsup:

I don't care if we run the wildcat. I want to see Chris Harper get the ball in space. If he's too shitty of a receiver to do that, then we need to come up with another way to make that happen. Also, when is the last time LHC Bill Snyder had a good offense that didn't feature a running QB with RBs and FBs?
What I would really like to see is the pistol formation with Thomas at QB and Harper at RB. The majority of the time, Thomas would run just as if it were the wildcat formation, but Harper would be a pitch option on any runs to the outside. This formation would still allow 3 WRs for pass plays, also.

u guys dont need to spread this crap ok

JFC. Why would anyone want the ball in the hands of any player that is not the best we have to offer. If Harper is one of the best options we have, buy God get him the ball. The spring game and the depth chart says he isn't. Guess it's a good scapegoat for Saturday, either way.

Nice thought, though Christians have been tithing for centuries and still haven't got him to appear. Meanwhile, we can't even get shitters on the upper deck.

KO 19 Josh Cherry (6-0, 190, Sr.-3L) OR
10 Anthony Cantele (5-10, 186, So.-SQ)
:comehere:
I've heard some pretty insidery types saying this Cantele kid can regularly hit from 45+
Also that he can run 4.5 40. can you say fake FG attempt?
Just wanted to point out my sources were money with this one.

How bad would it suck to be Josh Cherry? A senior who gets his position taken by a walk-on sophomore? Guess it's nice that we're upgrading talent.
