Kansas Recruiting Corner: Bolton, Davis, Evans, and Other Tid-Bits

I'm Irish, but I'm not a leprechaun. I have trouble differntiating between day and night, so don't even try to ask me what the date or the day of the week is. The response will be a blank expression. I eat emo kids for breakfast and goth kids for lunch. They give me indigestion, but I have Tums for that. I hate Mizzou. I mean, I really HATE Mizzou. It is to the point now, that I hate the entire state except for KCMO and STL. I won't even fill up my Jeep between KCMO and STL. I played Halo2 for the first time in my life and realized that I have no future in professional gaming. Life is too short to be mad, so usually I just drink beer. Most people call me short...I ignore them. I'm a soldier. I have 5 sets of clothes and they all look the same. Blue water sucks, but black water is disgusting. Midgets freak me out and there is one that works at the PX. I avoid going there now. Tracers work both ways, so I took all of the tracers out of my mags. I don't eat cake or ice cream, so my wife and mom think that I am weird. NVG's are cool, but they are expensive so I don't play with them anymore either. I love Notre Dame...it is the Irish thing. They let me down sometimes, but I still love them. I used to surf the web, but the rocks broke my surf board. I'm glad that I have running water. I hate velcro. I follow orders well, but don't tell me what to do. Tequilla makes my clothes fall off, so I don't drink it anymore. I loved KU football before it was cool. I can't stand Elvis, but I've always wanted to go to Graceland. When I thought my life sucked, I realize that I still use toilet paper to wipe. The beach is awesome, but the sandbox sucks. I need a steady diet of sarcasm and irony, and lately I have been getting fat off of it. My Jeep is fun, but I realize now why everyone said that I should have gotten a hard top. My appartment is great but my neighbors are idiots. I am a Guitar Hero, but I still can't beat expert.
Just finished a very important article on anger in sports. Please help me to get the message out by reading and commenting on this article.
Thanks!

Just finished two new articles on U of H football. My 2009 season predictions and star quarterback Case Keenum being named a watch list candidate for the Davey O'Brien Award.
Please take a look at both and provide your excellent comments!
Thanks so much.

hey, i gotta apologize for not writing on either website in a while. I still live/work at home in the summer and we dont have the internet here (out in the middle of nowhere) so im limited to library use. I still think ill have time for the rest of the position overview articles sooner or later. Id for now, Id definitely appreciate any advice on linebackers u have!

I think I'll just move backwards and hit the linebackers next. Any thoughts you can offer? I'm thinking Schermer/Wright in our nickel scheme, and Schermer/Springer/Wright in the 4-3. By the way, KU generally plays a 3rd safety rather than corner in our nickel, right?

Sweet deal. In that case I think I'm ready to start a dline depth chart article. Thanks for the help.

Alright, I've been thinking about it, and I'd like to do the first article on the defensive line depth chart, and just had a question or two to run by you.
First of all, Jamaal Greene. I go to KU but have heard nothing about him. Do you know if he's in suspension still, or if he's even likely to return?
Second, I think Woods will have an early impact, and Stephens to get a chance to compete for the 4th DT spot with Richard Johnson (i think stephens prevails). I also think Darius Parish sees significant time in the early downs either in place of Caleb Blakesley every time he's injured, or next to him for Jamaal Greene if he doesn't return. (or simply rotating between). Everything sound reasonable?
Finally, with Laptad, Onyegbule, Wheeler, and Woods on the ends, if any freshman DE gets to contribute, I think it will be the massive Dent on early downs, but reports say he's struggling off of the edge thus far. Do you think any true freshman make an impact this year?

I like the week by week idea a lot. Start with maybe the more obvious, or at least the less popular battles, and work up. Thanks for the ideas.
If you dont mind, I'll ask for your input on the position before each article, in an effort to hear another point of view before throwing mine out there.
Yeah I'll definitely check out the site, and see what I can do. I wish there was more KU football action on this one, I can't get enough of it. Hopefully I can learn to balance things out and do stuff for both sites, cuz B/R is growin on me. thanks for the invitation, ill check it out and get back to you!
thanks for the advice/help too!

Hey CW, I kinda want to throw out a position battles article for the Hawks. You seem like far and away the best KU football follower on this site, and so I just kind of wanted to know what you thought of this. I'm lookin at that 4th and 5th dback spots, 2nd and 3rd linebacker (assuming we stick to the nickel this year), the 4th and 5th wide receiver, and maybe throw something out there about guys like Matthews and Webb battling each other (as redshirts) and Pick for Todd Reesings spot next year.
In fact, it might be more interesting and more fun if I looked more into next year, and how we'll replace 3 more linebackers, a stud safety, a starting RB, likely 2 of the best wide receivers in KU history as well as its greatest quarterback. What do you think?
