Spoke with Chris Harper…

At one point, Northwest quarterback Chris Harper entertained thoughts of playing basketball in addition to football in college. He couldn’t be bothered with the Wildcats’ game against the Sooners – he was watching Brett Favre dice up the Seattle Seahawks in the snow Saturday (say that three times quickly). Anyway, the one-time K-State commit is still up in the air. He said he hasn’t heard from any of the coaches in Manhattan – it is the dead period, after all. But that hasn’t stopped Oregon from scheduling a visit to Wichita on the first day the dead period is lifted, nor has it deterred Illinois from making plans for Tuesday. “They’re still writing letters,” Harper said. Aside from the Ducks, Illini and the Wildcats, Harper is still keen on Missouri. He’s still adamant about playing quarterback – and most of the coaches recruiting him are as excited about the possibility as he is, he says. “They said some of the other prospects are what they are, but with me, this is more potential, more room for growth,” Harper said. When he makes his decision this time, though, he probably won’t make a public declaration until or close to Signing Day. (J-Mart note: This also appears in tomorrow’s Eagle)

    we need chris harper to bring back kstate to the good ole days of the option. We need to bring back the dual threat which is what it takes to win in college football these days. Look what West Virginia did with a dual threat qb to a supposed great sooner D.

    pruitt, you want us to utilize the fullback position more, right? What are your thoughts on “getting to the rim” in basketball?

    So, today he decides to change his oral commitment to Oregon. A player shouldn’t ever commit to a school SPECIFICALLY for one coach– he should commit because he wants to BE at THAT school, and in this case, representing his home state.
    Oh well, should’ve seen it coming– If it walks like a DUCK, talks like a DUCK, then it’s a LAME DUCK.
