Title: J-Mart in da house..

any good stuff from W-East today?  Thanks for all of the nuggets.

K-State crew are a bunch of pimps. In a good way. They rolled in four deep - Wally, Mo, Burns and Franklin - and cased the joint. They showed up at like 3:45, way before anyone else. Franklin, as you all know, is personable as hell. Real smooth cat. He made sure he was front and center for everything Arthur did. I'm telling you, if K-State doesn't land this kid, it wasn't from a lack of effort. As Franklin told me, "We're going to outwork everyone." He's not kidding.

But... a couple of head coaches showed up with national championship rings on. And they weren't named Pete Carroll. I mean, that's tough to trump, you know?

now that is some good stuff.  Awesome and thanks for all you do.

While the coaches rings are cool there is nothing to say Prince can't get there if the bigs like Arthur and Harper stay home.  If Snyder was a Bishop fumble away then we can get back there.  It just takes kids like Arthur and Harper to step up and lead the way.  "Uplift the state" as Prince told them.

thanks again for the reporting.

Hatter.. Did you catch the tidbit earlier that Harper has received nine handwritten letters from KSU? Just curious.. is that a fairly ordinary thing?

Not that seeing him is any more special than seeing James Franklin, but it looks like it is Prince that is getting outworked.

IMO, it's really absurd to think we would land any of those kids (Brown brothers, Harper).  In the article that J-Mart wrote,  you could basically see those kid were star struck by coaches from the elite programs.  I know J-Mart thinks A. Brown is a "different cat" and Franklin can show up at 2pm to those things if he wants, but at the end of the day, it's freaking USC, OU, and Florida.

J-Mart,

I never thought I'd see the day where you posted a KState Crew update.  Those rowers are something special, aren't they?  :)

If I were any of those recruits, I'd probably go Florida, USC, or OU (probably OU, cause BV is dreamy).  It's probably their best shot at playing for and winning a national championship during their playing career.  We might get to the Big 12 championship during that time.

There is no way we get either Brown unless  they get accused of rape, or murder a kid at a party and got to a juco for a year.

zacker is sold.  Too bad KSU can't beat a coach like Stoops or Pete Carroll and programs like USC or Oklahoma.  Oops.  Why be in awe?  Change some attitudes and the program will change.

I'm sure the fate of the program is resting in whether or not I believe we'll get A. Brown or Harper.  And Prince hasn't accomplished very much in comparison to Stoops or Carroll, in their current or previous jobs.  Prince has landed one elite HS prospect in each of his 2 classes, hopefully that trend continues with A. Brown or Harper.  And it's not like I'd be unhappy if we did land A. Brown or Harper, I just don't think we will.  Lamark didn't have to turn down the programs that Brown or Harper would have to.  Same with Freeman.

What is Pete Carrol's record versus K-State?

Where did Bobby cut his teeth?

Freeman and Brown could have gone to OU if they wanted.

Prince has had more success vs. Texas than USC and OU have had in the last two years.  In fact Ron Prince owns Texas.

Just because the offer doesn't show up in the database doesn't mean schools didn't offer.

We battled Freeman with NU and Lamark from MU, NU, Arkansas, Indiana.  If we were battling A. Brown and Harper against those teams, I'd feel 10x better.

OU offered Freeman. Do you not remember the first husker meltdown when Freeman wanted to visit OU?

Prince did just as good in his first year as Pete Carol and Bob Stoops, with less talent.

Somehow, I'm thinking, he may find it tough to duplicate Bob Stoops' second year accomplishments.  Just a hunch.

And there's no denying that the big 12 is as weak as it has been in a looooong time. Anythings possible this year.
