He should start next year. Maybe even start the bowl game this year.
Could he play in the bowl game and not lose eligibility? It would take place in 2012.

1 LSU
2 Oklahoma State A = 98.66
3 Alabama A = 97.96
4 Oklahoma A = 96.07
5 Oregon A = 95.28
6 Stanford A = 90.62
7 Boise State A = 88.82
8 Arkansas A = 88.35
9 Texas A&M A = 87.07 (...REALLY?)
10 Kansas State A = 86.89
11 Missouri A = 86.62 (come on...)
I know winning makes everything ok, but how does he grade out so far?
per _fan's stats
Total Defense - #17
Scoring Defense - #15
Rush Defense - #16
Pass Defense - #40
Everything is top 20 except pass defense, and we haven't even hit OU OSU or TT. I guess ultimately the DC is responsible for the defense as a whole but Tom has been the dead weight for this staff so far.
did pease touch the ball once?
missed the bus to the airport
Seriously?! Holy crap that sucks. He's gonna be in the doghouse for a while gawd damn it!
The world is going to end some day; you might as well play the best of your players now.And always go for it on fourth down. Gotcha.
Every coach in Division 1 football should be fired, then. Every coach redshirts at least one player who would make the team better in some capacity (special teams, rotational player for depth, etc.). Also, how do you know that these redshirted players aren't making the team better by playing on the scout team all year? The "play him no matter what if he makes the team better" ideology is a terribly flawed one.QuoteThere are reasons certain individuals are on the two and three deep and it has nothing to do with talent or being in the dog house. Sometimes playing a kid to be a little better this year is a waste of a year when the team can be even better next year when the player has more of the support he needs. There, I think that’s generic enough.
If you don't play someone who would make the team better you should be fired.
He's on every roster and was mentioned in this article: http://kstatesports.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/080911aaa.htmlPer speaking with 4 KSU DB's, of which will not be named:
1. CK is a stud. Smart, fast as crap, and has a cannon
2. Brod is not the WR he was before he got injured
3. McFall has the best hands on the team, but is a huge douche.
4. BB runs hard, but Pease will probably be the starter. Says he is better than DT, runs harder but is quicker.
5. Hubert, BB, and Pease will all share carries
6. EMan is a monster at LB, much better than he was at safety
7. Darious Thomas is still trying to get cleared to play, but is going to class here
Thanks, Bro. Kindaabout the Brod part though. And who the eff is McFall?
That does suck about Brod, McFall, Zac McFall, I think. No idea what year he is or what. Hopefully, Brod can continue to progress and get better as the year goes. Even without Brod not being what he was last year I think the WR's will be fine. Next time ask about the Dline, would love to know if the Dline will be garbage or not.
Yeah Zach McFall. He's a rs jr. Transferred here last year from FSCC. He was a starting slot on that team that lost to cam newton in the juco nc. MHS graduate. I remember hearing about him after the north texas game last year when he had two catches. Harp called him "the future" in post game and said he's got unbelievablely hands.
That's crazy cause I haven't seen him on any roster or depth chart and not even a mention of him in any article I read. Best kept secret I guess. I heard Sheldon had the best hands in practice though.
Hatter says we'll be better. We had a "terrible" oline in 1999.
I'm sure people will say that the situations are apples and oranges considering the different levels our program was at then and now. That includes things like WR depth and so forth. And there is certainly some merit to that.I'm happy we redshirted Ell even though he probably could have caught a few balls in '99.
Great point, Dlew. We would never have won the Big XII if we hadn't redshirted Ell. I'm switching my allegiances.

HOWEVER, having a potentially great quarterback be in the program for 5 years is a good thing. Using a year of Sams' eligibility at him catching 15 balls or so and being 3rd or 4th on the WR depth chart (tops) just doesn't make sense to me.
Bender will stay committed.
I appreciate your invitation but I, respecfully, pass as I'm sticking with Team Play Sams. I want him on the field as a receiver this year.
He led the team in tackles as a sophomore, not a freshman. He played mostly special teams his freshman year.did you see him in the spring game?
I did not, but I strongly doubt that he is worse than Hartman. Hartman gets clownsuited every single game defending the pass and he cannot tackle. According to sd, Burns led his team in tackles as a frosh.
well when you watch this video it's readily apparent where we struggled against the run (it stems from multiple levels of problems: DL, LB, and safety) but you can also see where it will be improved this season...that is obvious.
first, we need DL who don't get reached and or sealed consistently. Getting off blocks is one thing and while that is a premium with your DTs at the very least you won't guys who can fight off against those sealed running lanes because that is where the trouble begins. That is happening too much in this video. Prizell Brown, god bless him, was just too light and wore down. Kibble looks like a first year JC DL. Guidry isn't terrible but he simply isn't that good of an athlete.
So the running lanes are creating...problems #2 and #3 follow. You have slow ass Hrebec who can't step into that running lane fast enough and what that creates is another option to bounce for the running back. A player like A. Brown has the ability to get into that hole instantly and either make the play or create a "bow" in the backfield limiting the speed at which the running back can cut and take another route...that is when other defensive players come in to help finish off the prey. Cut off the alternative routes by hitting that running lane quick and knifing to the LOS or into the backfield. The 3rd is watching Hartman (primarily) or Zimmerman. Zimmo will be a good one but he had no familiarity with that position. Hartman simply isn't a quick enforcer there. A couple of big plays stemmed from Hartman either hesitating or simply not getting in there quick enough. Garrett would more than get there and make a play and that is why I hope we don't have to use him at corner (but that is up to Chapman, Daily, Malone, Evans, and...hopefully, Thomas).

ISU"s non-con
I think they will win 5.
hmmm
UNI
UCONN
KU
TTech (tossup)
and..?
Texas
@Baylor
@Kansas State
@Texas Tech
@Uconn
are all winnable games for them. They will pick up a couple of those.
UCONN won the Big East last year
Iowa State would be competitive in the Big East every few years. I think they have about a 33% chance of beating UConn.
It is very Ron like much like him I think they are only doing it because they don't have enough DT's to run a 4-3. You won't hear them say it but it's got to be the case. They didn't even run a 4-3 in the spring they're switching now at the start of fall camp.
Not a stupid question at all. It depends on how long the player has been in the program. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if a player has been in the program for at least two years, awarding him with a scholarship will not count against the 25-per-year limit but will count against the 85 scholarship total. Less than two years in the program will count against both. That's why Finney and Puetz likely will not be on scholarship this fall but will likely be on scholarship next year. I could be wrong, though.<---------- very excited to see Klein and BB run the zone read.
Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't schollies only guaranteed for a season? They could pull one if they wanted, but this is generally not done considering they have to pretend like their valuing education and all that and it wouldn't be all that nice to commit to a kids "education" then say, sorry you're a crapty LB and we really don't care about your education....
What would pulling schollies do to help us?
I think he means that if we awarded a bunch of walk-ons a scholarship in order to fill up to the 85 one year, and then the following year may potentially need to pull some of them as we get enough recruits coming in to even our numbers out. For the record I am not in favor of handing out scholarships to walk-ons who will never see the field just for the hell of it.
Yes, this is what I mean.
I think in specific cases schollies have been pulled, but I bet the NCAA frowns upon this w/o a legitimate cause. Without putting too much thought into it, seems to make sense to award guaranteed 4 year schollies with obvious performance stipulations for renewal.
Stupid question, but if you give a scholly to a player that had previously participated as a walk-on, do they count towards your 25 for that year?
