jeebuz, this slipped past me...Lockett III might be our deep threat..

[bigwilliestyle1407]

Lockett's not as fast at T. Newman but after watching him play as a DB,  I could seriously see him play a similar roll as Newman, being a star defender and a big part of our vertical passing game, opposite D.Sams...oh yeah 

[SkinnyBenny]

But some of the defensive highlights he chose to include puzzled me, I must admit.

[wes mantooth]

deep threat looks a lot like deep throat

[pissclams]

This guy is going to be the captain of my All-Deep team.  Total stud.  And LOL @ redshirting him.  Are you serious, Clark?

[bigwilliestyle1407]

Yeah but most H.S DB's rely on just straight athletisim to make plays, so with some coaching, his size and speed,  He could  possibly be a four year starter something we haven't had in a while.

[jtksu]

This would be a great time for Lockett to redshirt, our WRs corps looks pretty solid this year.  Would love to see an offense with Tremaine, Sams, Cathey, that kid from Abilene, Brod, Harper, etc catching balls next season.

What?  You left him off your team speedster list.  You whiffed this year clams.  Regroup, get started on next year's TS list.

[pissclams]

Um, just because he wasn't on my preseason Team Speedster list doesn't mean he can't be on my preseason All-Deep team.  Why in the world would you not want this burner on my All-Deep team?  Jealous that you don't have the burners to make the All-Deep two deep?  
 

Seriously, I don't get some of you guys.

[The Manhatter]

eff the redshirting.  That is what recruiting is for...to get the next one.  OU played three true freshman at receiver last year and I'm sure they didn't need them.  Use the resources you have to win games now.


Collin Klein was asked by d_scott who has impressed him and he mentioned both Lockett and Sams at receiver.  Use 'em.  I don't care if Lockett and Sams only catch 20 passes and score just a few tds...more versatility when you add more skills to the field.  You put Harper, B. Brown, and Lockett on the field you have three individuals who can run vertically and put some strain on a defense. 

Plus, me thinks T. Lockett is a pretty savvy little receiver.  He's probably been the beneficiary of some great tips by Kevin and Aaron and he played in a pretty wide open offense in high school where he caught a lot of balls.  Both he and Sams have seen some good competition and that coupled with Sams knowledge of the game from behind center added to his special skills...shoot, use them.  I see us being more of a speed oriented offense vs. what we were last year.  We basically had back ups playing at wide receiver who couldn't stretch the field...we had a 4.65 RB and a statue for a QB in CC and our interior 3 OL were point of attack guys that struggled to pass block, run block on the edges or the second level.

18 is a pretty good score. Gotta love the way whitey judges.

you and i know those tests are culturally biased.

Unless they are going to start, they need to redshirt. Have you seen the players we are recruiting? We need to keep the players with the most potential in the program as long as possible. I'm all for playing them if they are good enough to be starters, though.

Also, Sams needs to be with the QB's. He's hands down the best looking QB prospect LHC Bill Snyder has recruited since Ell Roberson.

that's the spirit.....old man snyder not playing any of his true freshman is a good way to bring in the recruits you want who would come to ksu to play early (as one of the primary reasons).  Also, winning helps solve plenty of issues in recruiting.  If you have a freshman who may not start but has the ability to do some things to help you win more games...you play him.

Someone needs to shoot that fat eff waste of space in his fat face

First of all, cool it on the "fat face" stuff.  Some people on this site might take offense to that.

Second of all, Lapham is gold.

[Panjandrum]

I'm going to be livid if Sams wastes one snap at receiver.  He needs to be spending every single second he's here preparing to be our next quarterback.

LHC Bill Snyder taking a great athlete like that and turning him into a wide receiver he'll sparingly use would be a goddamn joke.  I don't care how good of a receiver he'd be.  He'd make more of an impact at quarterback considering we don't have crap there and we need a good one ASAP.

[chum1]

I have updated my roster and marked Lockett as the Redshirt Team Speedster.

[jtksu]

You know, tons of really good athletes played QB in high school.  Hell, lots of them even had success at that position.  Sams wasn't even good enough to be the fulltime QB in high school.  Why take a great athlete and waste him on the bench, just so he stays a QB?  We do have Bender coming in next year and playing WR would help Sams learn the routes anyway.  Klein sure played and practiced at both spots.  If Sams is better than Bender, start him next year.  If he's not, let him practice both spots but put him in at WR during games.

Pretty sure we're all good at WR tho

If this happens, I'm blaming SD for his relentless and tragically myopic public harassment campaign.

If we were getting good QB's just about every year, I would agree. We have good WR's. We need QB's. If Sams wanted to be a WR, he would have gone to LSU. We don't really need another target for Collin Klein to miss once or twice a game.

Bill isn't dumb.  He knows Sams is his only shot at regaining respectibility.

[pissclams]

Lockett ³  won't be redshirting.  Some of  you guys need to get a clue.  He's moved up my All-Deep team since overnight and has worked his way onto my Honorable Mention Team Speedster list.

[Emo EMAW]

Kid from Abilene is redshirting though.

Pretty sure we're all good at WR tho 

pretty sure he's got better ball skillz of any of the returning receivers on the roster.  That and nobody could run the middle screen on the roster the way he can.  Look, I don't know if he'll ever be that good of a QB but I do think he can be a terrific receiver.  If he can make plays this year that help us win games then you use him.  Given the fact that in 7-on-7s this summer he is putting in work at both wide receiver and QB it seems apparent we have intentions of utilizing his gifts as a receiver.  I like the feeling of having a wide receiver on the field that actually has some versatile skills at that position which he does.
