Devonta Derricott no longer with team

[sonofdaxjones]

Apparently Devonta was missing page 46 and page 54 of his playbook.

[Winters]

I am never picking a "my guy" ever again. 

[kslim]

Dvonta made it to KSU zacker, he has been here since August. Also he is in the dog house (term that how you want) but to say he didn't make it here is a poor choice of words

Which of the 16 does he need to improve upon?

great he "made it" to ksu.  so did Riddle.  So did Andre Davis.  So did Clinks.  Hell, even Devon Nash and Nick Ramirez made it to KSU.  The classy cats have seen more action on the field than any of those guys.

yep.  a 4* redshirt. I mean, those are the best 4*'s to have.  With our complicated defense full of exotic blitzes and coverages, I can't imagine how difficult it is for our coaches to assimilate the juco kids to our defensive philosophy of a 4-3 base cover 2 for 90% of the game coupled with a random short corner blitz 4 times a game.

Zacker, can you break down this studs game for me?

Zacker, can you break down this studs game for me?

sure, it looks a lot like this:

[8manpick]

So long term better right? If every single person redshirted, they would have more time to develop. Rather have Dvonta effective in 2016 than try and push him on the field this year

As I said before the year, he wasn't going to unseat Truman.  He ended up being 2nd team all Big 12, right?

If anything, he shouldn't have sat in front of Davis, but even Davis eventually sat behind Johnson.

We will need Derricott big time in the next two years, so the decision to redshirt was fine given how late he showed up.

[steve dave]

Why did Charles jones get a flush? :-(

['taterblast]

Why did Charles jones get a flush? :-(

he plays a lot, but i don't consider him a good player

[steve dave]

He's a crappy 2 star with 13 TDs as a soph. I think that deserves at least a meh

['taterblast]

that's fair. will modify.

[treysolid]

Matt Siewert and Donnie Starks should be  WE'LL SEE
