Kansas Jayhawks Depth Chart remains constant
In this story:
The Kansas Jayhawks have released their depth chart ahead of Week 3 against Houston. In a development that will surprise no one, there was no change in the players listed or their relative positioning in the two-deep. That's still a huge change from what Kansas fans are used to seeing.
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
While I mentioned up top that it isn't a surprise that things didn't change, I was a bit curious up see if some of those "OR" designations would be cleared up. For example, Dominick Puni has taken the vast majority of snaps at left guard compared to Armaj Reed-Adams (112 and 12 respectively), so I think it's fair at this point to pencil him in as the actual starter on the depth chart.
But the biggest takeaway is that the depth chart doesn't REALLY matter. Tanaka Scott doesn't appear on the depth chart, but I expect him to see an increased role as the year progresses.
I'll be interested to see how the depth chart evolves throughout the year. But if you are looking to the depth chart to give you an idea of what's coming up and who is going to be involved in the gameplan, you might be surprised a few times this year.
