I would never question Prince's recruiting abilities.  It all comes down to whether Prince wants him or not.

And you base that on what?  Winning this season will look good, but being a good fit and Arthur's shot at making an impact early at whatever school he chooses matters more, IMO.

Arthur > Beasley?  Beasley > Arthur?  Which would be the bigger pickup.  I say Arthur because he would be here more than 1 year.  OT: I would like to combine them into one uber'athlete.  They would have all the basketball skills of Beasley but also kill people with lazer eyes.  Now that I think about it I would just like to combine Beasley with a set of lazer eyes instead.  I would just like to have Arthur on the team, ......unless he also wants lazer eyes in which case I'm all for that too.

Both are incredible, but I'd have to say Beasley>Arthur.

A common nickname for us on phog.  Intended to be derogatory, but I find it kind of funny myself.

One LB really can't make that much of a difference, esp. with as crappy as our Dline will be next year.

I have to ROFL @ areas for improvement, which says discipline.  This guy lives and breathes football, is a hard worker, and supposedly stays away from drinking/smoking.  However, I guess Smoke Patterson wouldn't be a good example for him...

Still think he is OU's to lose, I doubt he'd choose a 3-4 over a 4-3, especially with OU's history of  putting LB's in the NFL, Calmus, Lehman, Lattimer, Alexander etc, etc.

Probably didn't help our cause when Ray lewis came out and said how much he hated playing in the 3-4 now that they are switching next year.

It's going to be fun to watch A. Brown at OU.  Hopefully he sees the field his first two seasons so we get to see him in person.

If he goes to OU, I will hope that he sucks.

Wow.  I've been skipping over this thread for a long time because of all of the dumbass posts that I knew I'd find inside.  Bookcat deserves the king dumbass award for that beauty.  Snyder never came close to landing a high school recruit that was rated #1 at anything.  And Prince's recruiting classes thus far aren't all that different from any of Snyder's in terms of ratings.

Chum, we all know that there is much more to success in CFB than aquiring recruits with good ratings.  Of course we also tend to forget that when a touted 5* considers us.  Analyzing video and trying to see intangibles is a big part of it too.  Snyder did it, RP is too.  You could also blame Snyder's "prove your worth in your senior year" mentality for not hauling in the blue chips.

Yeah, Snyder's best players were 3 stars and JUCO's.  Stars don't matter because there will  always be tons of guys under the radar.  You're not going to tell me that there are only 100 elite football players in America every year out of the tens of thousands that suit up in HS.  It's a matter of finding them, being able to evaluate them, and being able to develop them to bring out their full potential.  also coming up with good schemes to utilize their strengths.

I don't think this is a knock on Brown as much as it is a knock on how he is coached.  After seeing him on film, like most great HS players, both Browns are allowed a lot more leaway and b/c of this they do things outside the scheme often and that simply won't fly at the BCS level.  He will need some coaching up to play within a scheme b/c he's allowed to pretty much just find the ball and run to it, and at K-State he'll have more reponsibilities and assignments than that.
