Receiver spots still need to be caught

Long snapper

Coach Mark Mangino announced Tuesday that sophomore long snapper Kayl Anderson and junior guard Adrian Mayes had earned scholarships. Anderson played all 12 games as the team’s long snapper last season. Mayes has only played in one game at Kansas but is slated to start at left guard this season.

Wide receivers

The picture at wide receiver may not be as clear-cut as the depth chart indicates. Junior Raymond Brown is currently listed as a starter, but Mangino said he needed to work on his consistency. Kansas has several viable options behind Brown, including junior Marcus Herford and true freshman Dezmon Briscoe. Herford has 15 career receptions and Briscoe could contribute immediately. Mangino said sophomore wide receiver Raimond Pendleton was the team’s top option at punt returner because of his sure hands.

Non-conference shedule

At a press conference held Tuesday, Mangino openly challenged the notion that Kansas’ non-conference schedule was easy. He said media did not give teams like Central Michigan enough credit and that there were no “gimmes” on the 2007 schedule.
