Briscoe and Kansas

[huskermaniac]

I heard awhile ago that Dezmon Briscoe would be academically uneligible for the 2009 season. Is this true or was it just a rumor?

If true, do we become the clear-cut favorites to win the North?

Briscoe will play in 2009.

 

[redout22]

It's true but I am betting that he does play

Kansas' defense split with Bill Young. They won't be beating any good teams w/o a defense.

So far...and I hate to say this....that's true.

Wasn't Young the DC in 2006? If you compare KU's defensive stats/rankings between 2006 and 2008, there isn't a remarkable difference. I'm not saying Young isn't a good DC, but I think rkhufu7 had a bit of a hidden agenda in his statement. Hint: rkhufu7 seems to talk a lot about Okie State... coincidence that Young is there now? I think not.

KUs performance last year was a definite step backwards. Nebraska pasted them with a first-year head coach. The Hawks once again will have a lot to prove Briscoe or no Briscoe.

Very true but we have a lot of work to do to win in Lawrence this year. We've been dominated the last 2 trips...I was at both of then.

I think the hiring of Miller will help the D tremendously. Also the added talent and depth is going to be a big ++.

This game will be a battle. I cant wait..

I'm almost positive Briscoe will be eligible.

How an athlete becomes academically ineligible is a head scratcher to me, especially with so much resources at their disposal.

My prediction: he will play.

 

[huKSer]

Of course he will be eligible - it's Kansas

From NCAA.org

In football, seven transfer student-athletes received improper benefits after they moved on campus in the summer before they were admitted, and a former graduate assistant football coach committed academic fraud by providing answers to test questions for two of these student-athletes.

the rumor is he is taking some local juco classes this summer that will make him eligible.
