TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Football => Topic started by: CD on March 27, 2018, 11:05:44 AM

Spring football is just about to start up. What are you most hopeful for as far as player progression?
Current starter who I think can progress the most- Denzel Goolsby. Still learning the position, I like what he brings I just wish he could be more of a tackler instead of just going for the ankles.
Non starter I hope can win a starting job- Da'Quan Patton. This guy has all the makings of either a Marvin Simmons/Smoke Patterson/Dvonta Derricott Or as Sean compared him to last year Arthur Brown/Percell Gaskins.
Position group I am worried about- Wide Receiver. I think we have some skilled guys with Zuber, Gruntley, Rueter and Harris. But do we have a #1 guy who we can count on? I think C Bass is a year or 2 away still.
Guy that I have no idea why I am high on, but I am- AJ Parker. He really didn't play that well last year when he can in as a starter, but he showed some flashes of greatness that I hope he can build on.
-
Classic KSU QB battle will be fun.
-
#3 on defense. I always wanted him to play more but he didn't. I think he will be good this year.
-
depth chart, please!
-
Looking forward to Delton proving he is much better than Skyler (but thank you Skyler for the winning TD pass against Iowa State).

Get lost Luke! Skyler is going to be the starter and tear up the Big 12 this year.

McCoy running over a bunch of puny losers
-
I'm excited for both Skyler and Delton. Both bring their own brand of spark to the offense and their own weaknesses. I loved how Skyler played in crunch times last year (TT and ISU stick out) but I love the mobility and speed of Delton, and of course he was the game changer vs. UCLA. Skyler is the opposite of whatever speed and mobility is, at least relative to who we are used to. Waters was a much better runner than Skyler and that's not even up to debate. That being said, we shouldn't be running either of them into the ground like we have been.

I would hope that is a point of emphasis since Dana ”Top 5 playcaller” Dimel is no longer here.

Waters was a worse runner than Skylar

New spring roster is up. Isaiah Harris received a medical hardship and is now listed as a redshirt sophomore. Tom Hayes is still on the staff as defensive quality control. EJ Thomas and Wayne Jones graduated early and are on the roster along with Daniel Green, Sammy Wheeler and Aidan Mills.
-
roster is up!
http://www.kstatesports.com/roster.aspx?path=football&roster=1123&sort=jersey (http://www.kstatesports.com/roster.aspx?path=football&roster=1123&sort=jersey)
Initial takeaways:
-We have three #10's!
-Daniel Green #22!
-Luke Sowa #47 didn't realize he was at Uconn for two years before Butler
-Spencer Misko #28 TE is a dashing young fellow
-
-Eric Gallon II has great hair. t's and p's if he transferred without knowing snyder's dread-diaper rule

How contrarian of you. Tell me how good then Skyler is at finding a pylon, first down marker, or lowering is soon to be shredded shoulder. At least Waters didn't lay down like a cowering dog 2 yards short of the first down like all the goddamn time.
-

I agree, the homie cfbandyman forgot about the fainting goat. Not Jake's fault though, he shouldn't have been running as much as he did.

Skylar averages more yards per carry. Skylar is also faster.
Do you think the coaching staff was telling their 3rd string and only healthy QB to lower his shoulder and take shots? Delton is a much better runner than either of them but Skylar is already better than Waters and will only improve.

To divert the Skylar debate, I will take a stab at a depth chart (please note, I have no inside information)
QB: Delton or Thompson, Hall
RB: Barnes, Silmon or Warmack, McCoy, Burns --> This will be fun to watch in spring ball!
FB: Richards, Sowa or Barta --> my guess is that Snyder will go with seniority for spring ball, but my guess is that they signed Sowa to play
TE: Lenners or Gammon, Kochevar
RT: Risner (out for spring game), Kaltmayer, Kuduk
LT: Frantz, Curl, Mills or Robinson
LG: Beecham, Rivas or Adler
C: Holtorf, Couch
RG: Mitchell, Creed or Adler
WR: Zuber, Taylor
WR: Harris, Render
WR: Gruntley, Rueter
DE: Walker, Boom or Johnson
DE: Ball, Hubert, Payne
DT: Dishon, Huggins or Robertson
DT: Davies or Wiley
LB: Sullivan, Gallon
LB: Hughes or Patton
LB: Sizelove, Rudzik
NB: Durham or Monty or McPherson or Noil or Stewart? Not sure here... I would like to see Eli Walker, but with Adams out I bet he plays safety
CB: Shelley, Neil or McGee
CB: Patterson or Parker
S: Adams (out), Eli Walker, Jones
S: Goolsby, Bowles
KR: Harris or Zuber or Warmack
PR: Harris or Zuber
P: ???
K: ???
LS: ???
-
that's not too bad. I assume by Matthews at RG, you meant Mitchell
-
Justin Hughes *denny matthews voice* GONE!
-
Why did he leave? Does he know he is behind Rudzik and Patton?
-
I thought curl transferred
-
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DZkRaPWVMAEfCJv.jpg:large)
Heres the one I did. (take out Hughes)
-
I thought curl transferred
Curl is on the new spring roster. Tom Killilea, Breontae Matthews, Glenn Williams, Alec Ruth and Bryce Fitzner all left.
Also Jay Craft is no longer on the roster. He was mentioned as someone to keep an eye on in the secondary.

Why did Matthews transfer? He was going to get good playing time.

Good conversation going here. A few questions about the depth chart:
1) What is the beat on Justin Hughes? He had some good minutes last year, and is on the Spring roster; however, a poster above said he is gone.
2) I thought Boom Massie and Kyle Ball had decent seasons last year. Any chance that Hubert or Payne unseat them?
3) CB opposite of Shelley and NB is pretty raw... any idea of a name or two that is sticking out?
4) Looking at the potential depth chart, the message is 'run the ball'... I wonder how Coleman will change things up from Dimel?
-
KSO reported that Hughes is gone and that it is definitely not just a rumor. Said it was not his choice.
Hubert is apparently a monster at DE and could unseat one of the starters. Again this is from KSO.
-
Bummer, I thought Hughes had potential. Hopefully Sullivan, Patton and Sizelove can step up... maybe Gallon or Rudzik can offer some good competition. Maybe York or Green can step up?
-
maybe every single person on our entire roster can step up???

That's it MM! WE need to get rid of the "FAMILY" block and make a "STEP UP" block. :driving:

It's not dissimilar from how at the core, it's not laughing at oscar as much as it's laughing at ksu for hiring/retaining him.

Yeah, successful ppl suck.

Nah, it's funny.

Maybe it's funny if he's just forgetting things and he always has. It's not funny if his mind is significantly deteriorating.
-
Being forgetful is different than dementia. It's common for elderly to have trouble keeping up with 100+ names that change every year, especially if the two he is mixing up where similar looking and played the same position/similar position on the depth chart. Bill still may be in early stages of actual disease but this doesn't point one way or the other. Jm(educated)o

He's old. This is what happens to old people. Maybe he's sick, maybe not, but mixing up Taylor for a guy who isn't even on the team anymore is a classic old person move.
If you can't chuckle at that shared human experience, then i don't know. We have different senses of humor i guess.
It's insane he's still our coach.

Fun Fact - Mo Latimore is a dick and once called a player trying out for a NFL roster spot and told him he had no shot and to give it up, openly mocked him on speaker phone with current players(at the time) on the phone. The player ended up playing in the NFL for a couple of years.

I don't know why it annoyed me so much more than normal. Maybe because I thought we had more weapons than we usually do, but QB draw every other play was especially painful to watch last year. Small sample size, but the two plays we ran right after the rain delay against TCU were a pretty good representation of how mailed in our offense looked. Delton kept it up the middle, then rolled to his right and chucked it out of bounds. The game was still within reach, at least on the scoreboard, and the coaches basically got a free halftime and did NOTHING with it.

By GT counter I'm assuming you mean pulling the guard and tackle, traditional counter trey blocking stuff. We don't use it a ton, but it is something we already use some. In fact, much of the time you see what most people consider a zone read look in the backfield for us, its often a counter trey and automatic give to the back. Often it ends up looking like and off tackle sweep play if you aren't watching the pulling linemen.
Also, I'm sure many of your read this, but this piece by Ian Boyd of footballstudyhall.com is one of the best articles I've ever read breaking down much of what we've done during Snyder 2.0.
https://twitter.com/Ian_A_Boyd/status/984057410582171648
My assumption is that a lot of these concepts will remain, but there will be tweaks with Dimel gone and new coordinator's in place. However, I think many of the "plus one" concepts in place come down from Snyder and its just the coordinators job to figure out how that will happen.

Great article, although I take exception to blaming Sisco's high school injury to what happened to him in '17, that's ridiculous given what happened in '16.

Walter Neil Jr getting a lot of praise from Snyder today. I think its going to be Duke and AJ Parker on the outside with Neil playing the nickle.

LHC Bill Snyder said "Mike McCoy is a very talented player, very physical player, very undisciplined player – two out of three doesn't work. When he gets the third order of business in place, he'll be a very fine player."
Giving up on plays or something I guess

Yes, I think we will all understand their importance next year.

Wow was it cold out there today! Luckily I decided to watch from the comfort of KSU wild Wildcat lands own Kites(Bar and Grille).
Our offense looks, dare I say, especially dynamic and advanced. We threw screens(Sproles caught the last one) and our RB’s weren’t just blocking for a FB. We had easy throws and used RPO’s efficiently and in good numbers. Wow! I’m excited for this fall!

Yeah, I agree that the kick and punt game is a major concern.
Linebackers could be interesting... Patton, Sullivan, Gallon and Green looked the part but didn't do anything to make you think they can replace what was lost. I don't think Sizelove or Rudzik played? Overall, I think that this position will shake out.
WR: I hope that Taylor builds off of this game. There just isn't a lot of depth on the team. Zuber is good, Harris is quick and Rueter had a great game. Taylor looks like a physical freak. He and Gruntley could really help with their size and speed.
DBs: Hard to tell without Adams, Goolsby, E. Walker or Patterson. McGee and Monty both had decent games, but it seems like we are pretty thin on the two deep and will need to work hard to develop a NB and CB opposite of Shelley.
DLine: I thought that the OL, even with the reserves, really dominated the DLine. Not sure what to make of this.

I think they are pretty happy with Neil. Walker got torched several times last year. I don't think he has the coverage skills to play the nickle.

saw a pic of Walker recently, looks a little bigger than i remembered last year. any chance of him being moved to LB?

Pretty sure he played safety/linebacker last year depending on the package. I expect him to play a hybrid role unless injuries occur

Any chance Eli Walker can play the NB position?
I think they are pretty happy with Neil. Walker got torched several times last year. I don't think he has the coverage skills to play the nickle.
Yeah, I remember him getting burned several times as well... I hope we can find some way to use his talents. Glad to see Hughes is back, he could help as well.

Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman noted that redshirt senior WR Dalton Gruntley has been the "most impressive offensive player" during spring practices.

Between Gruntley, Rison , knowles, and Zuber we should be pretty good at WR

It will be interesting to see how the staff tweaks their offense. I get the feeling that a run heavy scheme is not suited for our current roster. If Skylar and the receivers are really stepping up it may help hide our lack of depth at running back.

Gruntley had some maddening drops early last season, can't remember if he did much towards the end (which probably means he didn't have as many). Hopefully Klieman's comments are because he's gotten good and not that everyone sucks.

What is The Meadowlark’s basis for comparison overall, I wonder?

I didn't actually read the article. The blurb I posted was all that I saw from the article.
