Kansas Jayhawks depth chart is still unchanged. Welcome to the new normal.

Lance Leipold and staff has not shown a tendency to change up the depth chart very often. And given the number of players that are involved in the gameplan, it likely doesn't matter.

The Kansas Jayhawks have released their depth chart ahead of their Week 4 matchup against the Duke Blue Devils, and you can be forgiven if it seems like the coaching staff is ignoring it. For the fourth week in a row, the Kansas depth chart is entirely the same.

As a refresher, here is the 2-deep as released by Kansas Athletics. It is still subject to change based on practices and during the week gameplanning.

Takeaways

In past seasons, I would have been shocked if you had told me that the coaching staff had not updated the depth chart since the start of the year. But with the focus on consistency and the extreme level of depth that we have seen from this team, I don't actually expect it to change the rest of the year unless there is a player unavailable due to injury.

I still think that the only change we can reasonably expect to see is a change at the running back position to indicate Devin Neal and Daniel Hishaw as co-starters, and Sevion Morrison and Ky Thomas as co-backups. That is entirely based on the lack of carries that we saw from Morrison and Thomas against Houston. However, there is nothing saying that Andy Kotelnicki and Brian Borland won't shake things up from week to week without making changes to the official depth chart.
