Working telephone a must for NFL draft prospects
From Kansan staff and wire reports
Mike Hubbard's first concern today is whether the service man will get his telephone re-connected. His second concern is whether his phone will ring with The Call.
Kirby Ciswell's phone is connected but his first concern today is also whether his phone rings with
The Call they will be waiting for, along with hundreds of other football players across the nation today, will be from a National Football team team informing them that they are interested in signing the
HUBACH, WHO established himself as the best writer and place-keeper in RU history because he was a member of the first teams Dallas and Seattle, and is expected to go in the low to middle rounds. But he might be the last to know of his success.
They said it would take eight office hours to get someone here to connect it. Hubach last night.
"I'll probably have to listen to the radio or find somebody that gets the cable station that is carrying the draft. I don't know which round I'll go in, but I'd saw Kirby will go pretty early."
Criswell, who switched from tight end to outside linebacker this season, blossomed as one of the Big Eight's best outside linebackers and has been contacted by several NFL scouts.
"IM JUST going to sit back and it happens," the
20-30pound woman "I'm just hanging in there,
it's all so intense."
'I don't have the slightest idea what round I'll go in. But with the bucks some teams have to meet us.'
"I've put a lot of hard work and dedication into this thing. I don't have any preference as to what team drafts me. I just want to go to a team that I can play with and accept the challenge."
Criswell and Hubach probably won't be the only KU (football players to depart for a flight in NPL pitching) in 2015.

Quarterback Brian Bethe, who established himself as one of the league's most consistent passers this season, has been contacted by CFL teams but hasn't committed himself.
Wide receiver Jimmy Little, who earned a letter in track and in football, is also reportedly headed for the
DESPITE THE uncertainty of the college draft, two things are certain—Oklahoma running back Billy Sims will be the first player taken and Southern Cal guard Brad Budde will be among the top 11 picks.
The Detroit Lions, who have the first pick in the draft, have already begun contract negotiations with
Sims, the 1978 Heisman Trophy winner, who led in the scorne in each of the last two seasons.
Budge, a 6-4, 255-pound All-American, is rated as the top guard in the college ranks. If that isn't enough to get him selected among the first 10 picks, he'll go on to play for Namibia's City to become the first second-generation Chick.
The offensive line is the No.1 priority for the Chefs heading into the draft and Kansas City Player Personnel Director Les Miller envisions immediate help there.
BUDDE'S DIA, Ed. started as a guard for the DIES from 1963 through 1976, including two Super Bowl games, and was the 1972 Pro Bowl pack. He works with the Ravens at Arkansas, where he Braed provided at Rockwall before going to USM.
"Our needs are most definitely offensive," Miller said. "And that's where the players seem to be in greater quantity this year. This is a great year for offensive lineman."
Miller said Budde and Ray Snel of Wisconsin were the top guides, along with Anthony Murdoch of USC.
Stan Buck of Colorado and Tom Foley of Notre Dame are the choice tackles.
KANSAS CITY is also in the market for a speedy wide receiver. The Chiefs haven't had a long-ball threat since Otis Taylor in the early '70s. Tight end is still a question mark, since starter Walter White suffered a knee injury last season. White was to have been traded to the St. Louis Cardinals, in exchange for a draft pick, but the trade has been invalidated because White failed to appear for a physical yesterday.
The Chiefs list Johnny "1am" Jones of Texas and Art Monk of Syracuse as the jones chilings among the five Chiefs. The second round and Mike Frede of Indiana as possibilities in the third round when the Chiefs have the Nas. 4 and 9
