Notes: Haselhorst’s status unknown

Tuesday, August 28, 2007

Injury update

The injury status of junior defensive tackle Todd Haselhorst is still up in the air. On Monday, coach Mark Mangino said Haselhorst recently resumed on-field workouts and would practice at full speed today.

“We think that he has a great opportunity to play — our medical staff does — so we just have to see, with a little bit of a workload this week, how he handles it,” Mangino said.

If healthy, Haselhorst most likely will start alongside senior James McClinton. If Haselhorst does not start, sophomore Caleb Blakesley is the leading candidate to fill in.

Running backs

Kansas’ most recently released depth chart included a few surprises. Sophomore running back Angus Quigley was the most notable absentee from the chart. Quigley looked impressive in preseason practices but failed to make the three-deep position, which includes sophomore Jake Sharp, senior Brandon McAnderson and freshman Carmon Boyd-Anderson.

Mangino said Boyd-Anderson had a realistic shot at a major role in the backfield.

“Carmon Boyd-Anderson is running number three, and that’s just because he’s a freshman and he’s learning,” Mangino said. “Every day he gets better and better out on the field, so he will play.”

Offensive line

From the looks of the depth chart, junior guards Chet Hartley and Adrian Mayes held onto their starting jobs. Junior Rameses Arceo is listed as the backup at right guard and junior Jason Hind is second at left guard.

Wide receivers

Junior Raymond Brown, a converted defensive back, cracked the depth chart as a starting wide receiver. Offensive coordinator Ed Warinner said Brown was one of the fastest players on the team, and junior cornerback Aqib Talib praised his preseason play. Brown and senior Marcus Henry are the starters at wideout, and junior Dexton Fields is the team’s No. 1 slot receiver. The reserve receivers are freshman Dezmon Briscoe, sophomore Raimond Pendleton and junior Marcus Herford.

Cornerbacks

The defensive side of the depth chart looks more settled but just as youthful. Freshman Chris Harris will start at cornerback across the field from Talib. Harris is replacing junior Kendrick Harper, who could return from an injury by the conference season. Freshman Drew Dudley is the No. 2 option at middle linebacker and redshirt freshman Phillip Strozier is listed second at cornerback.
