Wichita, Kansas has produced some top quality rbs each decade or so. B. Sanders from 1986-1989 (I still can't believe TO turned him down), D. Evans from 1996-1998, D. Sproles from 2000-2003, and now possibly B. Brown.

 

Sproles went to Olathe North HS.

 

Ya, your right. But still pretty close to Wichita.

 

Having said that, the state of Nebraska has been in an EXTREME drought over the past decade in producing skill position players. Since Crouch left. At least I can't think of any???????

Olathe is about as close to Wichita as it is to Lincoln.

We didn't even hand the keys over to true frosh Tommie until after some games. If these coaches are putting all their eggs in that basket, then we're in big trouble. Let's take a trip down memory lane with regards to QB recruits. We recruit this high powered QB named Beck. Even though he left, he wasn't good at all. He's what like 3rd or 4th string now in his senior year? Next comes Freeman. Even though he didn't come here and went to KState, what has he done other than 2 good games against Texas that has really impressed anyone? He's in his 3rd year starting, and he ranks a lot closer to bottom in the Big 12 than top. The jury is still out on Blaine Gabbert. However, I think it's safe to say he won't be starting for Mizzou next year. We won't be able to see how "gifted" he is for another 2 years.

Freeman is an outstanding QB, and Gabbert will start next year. Who do you think is going to start over Gabbert?

Nonetheless, I agree that Lee or Witt will likely be the starter next season. It should be an interesting battle.

I like the stripes.

Yes, agree...Ganz's stats would be gaudy if some of those drops were caught. He was pretty amazing.

He was on fire today. I thought the receivers played well though, other than the fumbles. Hang onto the ball!

mentions on a few other boards

YES! Awesome prospect... nice work coaches!

I think I remember seeing him on the field before the Texas Tech game too. Hopefully he'll get some experience on defense before the end of the season.
