Depth Chart

[big e z]

Jevon Snead comes to mind. I know he wasn't a heisman winner, but I thought that were pretty happy with him at ole miss.

Brull-  Please continue to not post much because it is quite clear your reading comprehension skills are not up to par.  Harper worked as a WR at Oregeon, and during his redshirt season/this current offseason at KSU.  This is not a recent change.  And I have actually been implying (during this entire thread) that the coaches have seen much more of Chris than we have and they have decided that he is not one our 3 best WRs.  Chris has had an entire year to do nothing but prepare himself for this season.  What makes you think he's suddenly going to make up lost ground in the middle of a season?  :plainoldretardflag:

[KSUTOMMY]

We all heard the chit about Harper being lazy, if he is - FCK HIM, let him ride the pine. JTs points are spot-on, go back and read them again if you are still questioning Harper being 2nd string.

[jtksu]

That QB at Arkansas is pretty damn good.  Guess Flacco, too, but he transferred to FCS Delaware.  I just don't think a ton of upper-tier guys transfer much.  Seems like it's usually guys who are upset with their lack of playing time.

[TBL]

I think Harper has a bunch of talent and really want him to succeed but you guys are kidding yourself if you think he's going to get a bunch of touches in the spot he is currently in.  I don't see him getting more than 2-3 catches until something changes.  He didn't start in the spring game and he apparently hasn't done much to improve his stock.  I want the best players getting the touches and if Chris isn't one of them, well sucks for him.

Just a question which I truly don't know the answer to......can anyone think of a high ranked recruit who transferred and then became a serious contributor to his new team?  I can't....but I can think of a whole bunch of guys who didn't. 

That's good question.  I can't think of any either, though it happens with Juco players all the time (DT is a good example), so I don't think it's an issue with changing systems or trying to fit in.  Frankly, I am kinda counting on it happening with Brod this year.

Alan Webb comes to this guys mind

Some other non-juco transfers of note:  Jeff George, Jeff Hostetler, Aikman, Randy Moss, Scott Frost, Justin Fargas, Mike Vanderjagt, Brandon Jacobs.

My point was, and maybe misdirected, is that by no means should anyone write him off this early in the season. They haven't played a game yet. I don't think anyone on this board isn't familiar with where Chris has played in the past.

[jtksu]

Oh, it certainly sounded like you considered Harper's move to WR to be a recent one.  And no one is writing anyone off before we've played a single game.  Trying to temper some people's outlandish expectations is more like it.

[PowercatPat]

Isn't Harper running the Wildcat? 

Weren't those just rumors?

[jtksu]

If his shoulder is all healed up, he would be a natural to run it.  But, if his shoulder was okay I think we would have given him a shot at beating out that group of stiffs we have at QB.

[kstatefreak42]

Harper would be the best fit in the wildcat IMO

[jtksu]

The wildcat will also be a good time to feature DT and Hubert or D Rob on the field at the same time.  I'm just not going to expect Harper to do much at this year.  Hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised.

[Trim]

KSU depth charts released on Tuesdays are never still accurate come Saturdays.

[jtksu]

True.  Half the time the radio dudes don't even know who's starting until they actually take the field.  Plus, we'll probably sub quite a bit this year at several positions.

[SwiftCat]

Plus, we'll probably sub quite a bit this year at several positions.

I doubt it.

[kcchiefdav]

Bad teams sub a lot and are trying to find the right combination of players. Good teams sub less because they have dominant players. I have us marked down for lots of subbing.

[jtksu]

Not entirely true.  Some good teams sub a lot because they have quality depth and want to have fresh players.  Some bad teams don't sub at all due to a lack of depth.

After Harold quit the team last year wasn't he listed on the depth chart for the entire rest of the season?

[cas4ksu]

Personally, I don't think having Harper be the primary "quarterback" in the Wildcat is such a good idea. Thomas is clearly a better, more powerful runner than Harper. That being said, I think it would be great to get Harper in the game in that position, but taking out DT for him is absurd.

I would love to see a version of the wildcat with both Thomas and Harper in the backfield. The idea of Thomas taking a direct snap and running with an option to pitch to Harper is very appealing to me.

[PoetWarrior]

Who said anything about Thomas coming out?

I envision it with Chris and Daniel together - Chris as QB.

Wilson with them sometimes, too.

I just EMAW in my pants on that one. Going to need a wash cloth.

So Brod will be returning kicks? seems like Tramaine would be doing this.
