Our entire OL returns and we just added a 4 star WR and a power 5 RB that averaged over 6 YPC on a 10 win team.  Oh and Phillip Brooks is returning and some guy with the last name Lockett is going to be a sophomore.

Didn't know Brooks is coming back, that's awesome. All of that is so, so, so nice. Ward is a very solid RB, won't have the moves like Deuce but man, we basically reloaded there, and having our entire OL back should mean some hella holes, I mean the team work is going to off the charts there.

another benefit of the KANSAS BEEF all coming back is that it gives the young guys another year to develop, building depth

He is. Also don’t forget RJ Garcia who came on strong to end the year and will be a SO, Jadon Jackson who transferred from Ole Miss last year, and Sinnott. If Howard can take another step forward the offense should be in great shape.

Defense is where the concern is for sure. Definitely need some players to step up.

i think he actually looks like he has more wiggle than deuce. looks more sproles-y to me than deuce. given he's had quite a bit higher ypc his entire career, could be even better.

While this is sort true, I think that OT vs TCU/goal line stand should give everyone some hope. Tons of guys on the field then were young/inexperienced and they did the damn thing. We tend to cycle a lot of defense, so while yes a worry, I wouldn't call it a total worry. We got some good LBs coming in, Savage will be back, Khalid is till here, and VJ looked pretty good filling in. The d-line (specifically assuming Felix is gone) is going to be my biggest overall worry.

Honestly, at this moment, my biggest worry is special teams, all facets, losing Zentner who did everything is big, so hopefully Tennett can figure it out, and we have a punter who is serviceable. Also, hopefully someone steps up to fill in for Knowles on kickoffs, at least we have Brookes for punts (which is good except for the rare but painful muffs). But we definitely took a step back in special teams this last year, and I don't know how I feel about next year until proven otherwise.

Matlack was disappointing this year after his early injury.  I am hopeful that he can come back with a vengeance and fulfill his potential.  Interior DL I have no idea but I think there is some talent there.

The standard for special teams is so high at KSU that even with a step back I’m not worried at all. Zentner will be sorely missed, though.

i'd like to think the coaches like the d-ends for next year. we didn't try hard for anyone in the portal. maybe they're waiting to see what duke does, we really need him to stay. if he does, the top 4 returners should be alright, and then maybe the freshmen can step in if we really need them

Anybody know the timeframe on Duke's decision?

Ozzie Hoffler and Kingsley Ugwu also. Ugwu probably needed to go if he wanted to play with all the lineman coming back. Hawkins and Hoffler I had some hope for but I don’t think either played a down this season as RS-Frosh so both might be looking for more opportunity also.

I don’t think we have lost a projected member of the two deep yet which is pretty exciting.

You’re probably right, but I was kind of bummed when Krew Jackson transferred out. Good length and looked good in OSU garbage time. I thought he might crack the depth chart next season.

It's nice when the guys transferring out are dudes no one has ever heard of.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.
