Some quick hitters…
SPOKE with Garden Plain’s Logan Dold today. He’s rock-solid in his commitment to K-State. He can’t wait to get to Manhattan. He said the coaches - he spoke with James Franklin today, who was in Wichita again - have told him he might play offense after all. He thought he was set to be a safety. I asked what position, asking him how much he weighed (205 pounds, by the way). He thought he might be suited for a H-back position.
ACCORDING to KSU assistant sports information director Tom Gilbert, there are only about 2,000 tickets remaining for the Dec. 17 game against Florida A&M at the Sprint Center, which holds 18,000.
ARTHUR and Bryce Brown are going to be living the high life this week. They’re leaving tomorrow for the University of Miami, spending a couple of days in South Beach before heading West for an official visit to USC. They’ll spend the weekend in L.A. Bryce, in particular, is eager to see “what girls are out there” for both schools. Bryce, by the way, was sporting a bright white KU hat Tuesday prior to his Eagle photo shoot.
FRANKLIN wasn’t the only major assistant in Wichita this week. North Carolina’s John Blake stopped by East, as did Florida’s Charlie Strong.
I’M hearing Northwest quarterback Chris Harper is more or less down to K-State and Oregon, but I’m still waiting to hear that straight from him.

JMart - what do you think about Dold on offense? Personally, I like it - the kid just seems to have a nose for the end zone. And with JJ graduating, we’ll need more options at back.
Should we read anything into Bryce wearing a KU hat?
My guess, I wouldn’t read too much into Bryce wearing a KU hat… but who knows…still doubt it means anything. Probably just trying to give the local school(with a winning record this year) some love.
If we are in fact in the final 2 with Harper, thats great. With some high profile schools (Florida last year and LSU some this year) using two QB’s in their offense, maybe KSU is selling Harper on coming in and actually getting snaps along with Freeman. Mix in some option with Harper.
JMart,
I was at the GP-vs- Silverlake game, and all I can say is WOW! Dold is an amazing athlete, and coming from that area I’m proud to hear he is still solid on his commitment to the Cats. He could be a kid that could play all over the field, but I don’t want to overdue it with hype, the transition from small Kansas school to D1 college will have it’s road bumps, but I think he can do it, (he has a pretty descent passing arm as well, not think QB though by any means). A couple Questions I have: 1. With losing Basset (dang it!) what is the vibe from the other commits we have at this point, along with the Wichita area prospects? Secondly, do we put a shock collar on Frank Martin and set it to go off any time he starts busting out the profanity. Seriously it doesn’t really bug me that much, but he could make a sailor blush!
