Chris Martin - DL - Jayhawks

Kansas head coach Charlie Weis has dismissed JUCO transfer DE Chris Martin after he was arrested in connection to an armed robbery.

This means Martin has enrolled and left three FBS programs in the last three years. First, he signed with Cal out of high school but departed to Florida only five months later. That stint ended after an arrest for marijuana, so Martin spent two seasons at the JUCO level. He never played a snap for Kansas.

Chris Martin - DL - Jayhawks

Kansas JUCO transfer DE Chris Martin was arrested on Wednesday on armed robbery charges.

Martin was joined by former Kansas player Jeremiah Edwards and 28-year-old Joshua Edwards. The alleged incident took place earlier this month and included robbing cash and marijuana from victims at gunpoint at a house on May 13. Martin has always been considered a talented player, but this isn't his first off the field issue. Kansas is still gathering information at this time.

Darrian Miller - RB - Jayhawks

Kansas sophomore RB Darrian Miller has rejoined the football team after being dismissed following the 2011 season.

Miller was the Jayhawks' second leading rusher in 2011. There was no specific reason for his dismissal, but Miller's name was mentioned in a group of 10 players who left the program following Charlie Weis' hiring. James Sims produced last season as the lead back, but has his own issues off the field.

Nick Sizemore - TE - Jayhawks

Kansas senior TE Nick Sizemore has been suspended for three games.

Sizemore was arrested and charged with multiple offenses following a traffic incident. Some of the charges include suspicion of operating a vehicle under the influence, failing to carry out duties upon striking an unattended vehicle and failure to report an accident. He only caught two passes last season.

Dayne Crist - QB - Jayhawks

Kansas QB Dayne Crist was named MVP of the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl after completing 7-of-10 passes for 61 yards and a touchdown and rushing for a second score.

The National team crushed the American team 34-0, with Crist staking his side to a 17-0 first-half lead. Ex-Rams coach Dick Vermeil coached the National team while Herm Edwards guided the Americans. Crist, a former Notre Dame transfer, completed just 47.7 percent of 216 passes for Charlie Weis' Jayhawks in 2012, compiling a 4:9 TD-to-INT ratio. Crist has a big arm, but his accuracy was always a major issue in college. He's unlikely to be drafted.

James Sims - RB - Jayhawks

Kansas junior RB James Sims announced that he will return to school for his final season.

Earlier in the season, head coach Charlie Weis called Sims the best running back in the Big 12, and with more wins (resulting in more attention) the soon-to-be senior could prove that. He does have some off-field issues that led to a suspension, but Sims is a bigger back that is at his best when breaking tackles.

James Sims - RB - Jayhawks

Kansas junior RB James Sims rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries Saturday against Texas Tech.

Sims added another two catches for eight yards and a touchdown. Head coach Charlie Weis called Sims the best back in the Big 12, and although we like Oklahoma State's Joseph Randle more, Sims is very solid.

Jake Heaps - QB - Jayhawks

Kansas junior QB Jake Heaps is using his transfer redshirt season to get a head start on the starting job in 2013.

Along with Heaps, Dayne Crist transferred to Kansas but has been benched halfway through the season in favor of redshirt freshman Michael Cummings. With the Jawhawks having a putrid season, Heaps has a great shot at claiming the starting spot next year.

James Sims - RB - Jayhawks

Kansas head coach Charlie Weis believes that junior James Sims is the Big 12's best RB.

"I don’t know if there’s a better back in this league," Weis said. "If they exist, I have not seen them yet." We like Sims's vision and patience, and both have helped him reach 622 yards and five touchdowns in just five games. However, the junior does run a bit upright and was suspended for the first three games of the season following an offseason arrest.

Prinz Kande - LB - Jayhawks

Kansas junior LB Prinz Kande will miss the rest of the 2012 season with a torn ACL and MCL.

Kande has played in 23 career games but last week's contest against Rice was his first start. The junior is a converted safety.

Ty McKinney - DL - Jayhawks

Kansas head coach Charlie Weis announced Thursday that top JUCO DT Ty McKinney will no join the team this season, instead he will enroll next January.

"After discussing this matter with Ty McKinney, he has decided to wait until January to enroll at KU," Weis said. McKinney will have two years of eligibility remaining once joining the Jayhawks. The program apparently had made plans to catch up the transfer on and off the field, but those preparations will have to wait.

Dayne Crist - QB - Jayhawks

Long time draft analyst Gil Brandt considers Kansas senior QB Dayne Crist the top "sleeper player in the Big 12."

On Crist, Brandt said, "I think he's a really good player and really going to help Kansas." It has not been an easy collegiate career for Crist, who has gone through two knee operations and was benched last season at Notre Dame. However, he enrolled at Kansas as a graduate student in order to play under Charlie Weis who seems to work wonders with subpar quarterback talent. Crist boasts a 58.9 career completion percentage, including 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions.

Justin McCay - WR - Jayhawks

NCAA rules that Justin McCay is ineligible to play for Jayhawks in 2012.

McCay, who transferred from Oklahoma, was seeking a hardship waiver from the NCAA so that he could be closer to home and play for Kansas in 2012. Instead, he will have to wait until 2013 when he will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Tony Pierson - RB - Jayhawks

Tony Pierson is easing the concern over the loss of James Sims for the first three games of 2012.

The loss of Sims, who was last season’s leading rusher and was suspended due to his arrest for DUI, could be easier to handle thanks to the emergence of Pierson. No stranger to the offense, Pierson was 71-396-3 (a healthy 5.6 ypc) with 8 receptions last season as a freshman. Marquis Jackson, formerly a receiver, could also carry some of the load. The three games are home contests against South Dakota State, Rice and new Big 12 foe TCU.

Brandon Bourbon - RB - Jayhawks

With James Sims suspended for the first three games of the 2012 season, the question in Lawrence is whether Brandon Bourbon will be healthy enough to step in.

Coach Charlie Weis may be scrambling for an able-bodied running back. While Sims will miss the first three games of the new season, Bourbon sat out the last three contests of 2011 with a leg injury. Bourbon, who ran for 101 of his 190 yards on the season against Texas Tech on Oct. 1, has been held out of contact drills this spring. Bourbon has otherwise looked good as Weis prefers to play it safe for now.
