@Texas-Hawk-10 Right I’m not saying it will be exactly the same but Micheal Cummings wasn’t a big guy that was a good QB in short yardage. You don’t have to be 6’5 to run but it helps.

mayjay said: @JayHawkFanToo You missedvthe salient point: a parent “shopping” his kid will be deemed an agent. Period. And the kid will know that. So, if the parent accepts money, it will be imputed to be money to the agent to steer the kid. Now, if a kid can prove he had no clue his parent was even representing him, well, maybe you have got something there. As I understand it, the correct wording should be…a parent “shopping” his kid CAN be deemed an agent…where before it could not. Again and as I understand it after reading a number of articles on the subject, there still needs to be a tacit understanding or agreement that the parent is acting as an agent. If the kid has no clue what the parent is doing on his behalf or doing it without his permission then the athlete has a good case to not lose eligibility. Absent evidence such as e-mails, texts or recorded phone conversations, it would be a difficult task for the NCAA to prove knowledge and intent; it was not able to do it with Cam Newton. A good test case is needed to set once and for all the required burden of proof both ways.

This is a damn good schedule, we will find out how good we are quickly and what all we need to improve on.

The depth chart makes me think that next year is the year for Beaty and this group. There are five seniors on the offensive and defensive two deep. FIVE. That means pretty much everyone on the two deep is back next year, with the exception of probably Dorrance Armstrong. That means just six of the forty five guys listed will be gone next season. 39 players should return, along with Tabor, Durley and Evans, who all should be eligible for medical redshirts. That means that legitimately, KU could return every single offensive skill guy that gets substantial time this year. A returning starting QB, with a full group of RBs and WRs. KU could return all but one DB that plays significantly. In the pass happy Big 12, that experience will matter. As @jayballer54 said, only three total senior starters. This is an experience year, with the guys that will contribute to the next KU bowl team getting the game reps they need to turn those close games into wins next season.
