Kansas State Football / Re: Football Recruiting Thread

It will be interesting to learn the full story.  Auburn basically got 6 commits from 4 and 5 star players between yesterday and today.  One is listed as an OLB like Sullivan and 2 are DE's.  There is at least one more athlete/DB out of those commits.  Basically, Auburn hit on every big commitment at the last minute and ran out of room for him, it appears.

Like, I almost picture it going down like this. He's signs his LOI with Auburn but they call him up asking to greyshirt. He gets all pissed and just rips up the LOI then turns to his buddy Duke, "Well eff man, where'd you sign with again?" Duke with a big grin on his face just hands him Andre's phone number. Andre- "Hello?" Sullivan-"You guys need a LB?"

I don't think throwing was necessarily a poor choice, but I'm not sure a slant was the right option. Wilson's size combined with the boxed in nature of goal line plays made that a dangerous play.

Personally I would have run once more and then passed if that didn't work, but I think a roll-out would have been a better pass option, get Wilson in space where he can see better and potentially use his legs if nothing's there.

Glad to see these threads are getting warmed back up. Gets me excited for the new season.

Just a reminder of the apparent usage of each thread tho.

Show thread: Exclusively for show discussion and since apparently book is synonymous with spoiler over there it's probably best to avoid posting in it if you've read the books. Very fun to read "theories" over there and laugh.

Book thread: Primarily book discussion. Probably not going to need dusted off until George "I hate my fans" Martin finally finishes another book.

This thread: Used to compare/contrast the show and book, discuss how new "discoveries" from the show affect the books, and overall just laugh at show only people who think they have everything figured out. Show spoilers are welcome in here so if you don't want to see those, probably should avoid this thread.

Why does everyone seem convinced Saban, Meyer, etc. don't have any flame outs or busts? They have tons of them. Go look at Alabama and Ohio St.'s classes from 5 years ago. There's several highly ranked kids who did absolutely nothing. They just are able to get more of them so there's a better chance some pan out. They're also both very good judges of talent themselves so when they get the pick of the litter, they're not going to go after someone just because a recruiting service says they should.

Now should KState be able to get some better recruits? Possibly, but as has been pointed out already, this class will likely be an improvement from the last several years and it seems like we're starting to see the benefits of our recent facility upgrades. We where in on some kids that probably wouldn't have given us more than a casual glance 5 years ago. Hopefully the new Vanier can continue to build on this.

His slant and curl routes would get a work out, his deep route ability would be lost.

spracne's face is gross and my word does he love texas.  #served

Spracne was a lady killer back in the day. As far as I know that hasn't changed. 

typical squawk that hurts women

from Urban Dictionary:

lady killer

an especially handsome man (or handsome woman, depending) with debonair, genteel manners, a slick demeanor, good taste, and an eye for attractive ladies.

Now do Oxford

i agree with The King.

family

gang

family is pussy crap.  anyone can join a family, but i bet maybe 2 people from this bbs board could withstand a gang initiation.  plus, gangs look out for each other and you're in a gang for life.  there is no way out.  and, i doubt many families could put a beat down on a gang.

What if, instead of just #family, we went with #Thefamily
