Harper said things have really heated up for him on the recruiting front, and he's got summer plans to visit schools like Michigan, Michigan, Notre Dame, Illinois and Florida. He said he no longer has a leader for his services after previously being a lean toward Kansas State.

It was only a matter of time.

Brian Butler hates us. and the state of kansas.

So he's visiting Michigan and Michigan? I assume there's suppose to be a "State" after one of the Michigans.

Pray
-
I still think he commits to us.
-
No worries . . . some kids just like to tour.
:ksu:

But was it necessary for him to say that we aren't his favorite anymore? :'(

Welcome to K-State recruiting. Did you think we stood a chance one the bigs started calling????
We'll find a no name from some obscure JUCO with some offers from San Jose State and then have Hatter telll us he'll be the next Jerry Rice.
It's all good. Don't worry, be happy.

He would be committed if Fatty hooked me up with DVDs.

Why was Harper trying the qb position at the camp in Missouri? Does he just really want to play that in college or what? It seems like most schools want him for a linebacker or wide receiver.

He wants to play QB. He plays it in high school because his coach thinks that they need to put the ball in their best player's hands. Most colleges want him at receiver but there are some that are saying they will give him a shot at QB. I don't think we are out of it by any means, I just think that he's liking the attention he's getting from the big schools. We'll see what happens..

Same @#%$, different year. For some reason, it's always amusing.
Happy 3000, chum1!!!!!

Awesome. Thanks.
-
didn't jmart say he looked really bad in receiving drills? i believe his phrase was "it wasn't pretty."
-
not that we wouldn't give both of prince's nuts for him -- he is such a fantabooluss athlete.
-
I didn't remember him saying really bad. I remember him saying that he didn't have the best of hands and Chris said it was because he hadn't played receiver forever.. He apparently didn't really wow them at the Nike camp with his QB skills either.. That's unfortunate. But he obviously has something all of the big schools want...
-
You are right -- i remembered it far more negatively than what he actually said:
"Finding a position for Harper is going to be the chore. I watched him catch passes yesterday and it wasn't pretty. He said he was rusty because he hadn't done it for years, but he's raw. A physical specimen, no doubt, but raw."
-
I still think he commits to us.

Agreed.
We'll find a no name from some obscure JUCO with some offers from San Jose State and then have Hatter telll us he'll be the next Jerry Rice.
Hmmm..exaggerate much? Don't recall ever calling some 2 star kid a "jerry rice". Of course I need to apologize for ever saying that some 2 or 3 star kid just might turn out to be a good player..shame on me!!
-
Joe Lawson was 2 stars and White Rice, but I don't think the Spartans ever offered. :blush:
-
Princed signed like every two star and three star possible for his last class correct? Probably about 25 of them. There's a good chance that some of these guys become pretty good right????
-
"The school I pick doesn't have to be a big program, but one that is getting better and moving up."
We should not be worried.
-
"Academics are important to me."
We're &@#%ed.
-
"Academics are important to me."
We're &*$@!ed.
.....why??? kstate's academics aren't too bad at all.

Haven't you heard? Our nickname is Manhattan Area Community College. Seriously, we're a terrible school academically.

False. I have been doing a lot of research on different schools this past year since i'm going to be a senior in hs and we rate fairly high in academics, and we rank in the top 10 in number of scholars each year, with the likes of harvard, yale, brown, and the rest of the ivy league schools. look it up. :ksu:

Post the links. Seriously, we suck. We were 120 in USA Today's 2007 rankings. If you don't believe me just go and ask any ukan fan.

Everyone remembers weef spouting off on how great our academics were. Maybe 120 nationally in PreLaw or Med or something... but certainly not academically overall.

I like their pie charts, was there a pie chart of this? Can you post the link to their pie chart of the rankings?

1. Harvard
2. Yale
3. Princeton
4. Stanford

Also
K-State is listed among the nation’s top colleges in Princeton Review’s “Best 361 Colleges” and is listed as one of the “Best in the West” regional rankings. (http://courses.k-state.edu/)

Everyone is on a set of rankings somewhere.

Just as easy to dismiss everything I showed as it is easy to dismiss that one article saying KSU sucked.... I don't think choosing to spread word of the positive rankings while knowingly ignoring the negative ones is powertardish... It's called sales. :billypopcorn:
-
We're an Ag school. We &@#% sheep for goodness sake. There is no way that we are good at academics.

I know that you're being sarcastic, waks, but I'm constantly surprised by the disconnect between reality and people's perceptions of the differences between, say, ivy league schools and "third-tier" schools (in engineering and the "hard" sciences, at least, which are all I know about). The most common differences - assuming that we're talking about people who don't suck at college - are self-confidence and networking, IMO. If you're a Harvard grad, you can fancy anyone/everyone else your minion and/or become a powerful politician using your connections with other social climbers from your school. If you're a K-State grad, you can take pleasure in the visible discomfort that your bargain-basement, land-grant degree inspires on the faces of colleagues who've spent $100k or more on undergraduate tuition alone (often in hopes of distancing themselves from peasants from lowly public schools) and are still paying off student loans.
Undergraduate program rankings are completely worthless, IMO. I've worked/studied in departments ranging from sub-mediocre to top-5 in my field (according to the vaunted US News rankings), and in terms of undergraduate-level course quality, the differences are minimal/nonexistent.

I like USA Today - lots of pictures, short articles and not very many big words! :poundon:

its a good thing wak is being sarcastic.
when he put usa today's rankings as a better source than the prinston review i was beginning to wonder if he didn't have a point about a KSU education? :D
GOCATS!!!!

I am constantly surprised by the disconnect between reality and the reasons that people on this board expect recruits to make their college choices based upon.

Damnit... I've got to stop posting past my bedtime.

Exactly. Academics aren't going to have one bit of say in where Harper goes to college.
-
Is there anything more annoying than that kid from your Calc 2 HS class coming back to Manhattan over the summer, trying to convince you that his classes (pick any school listed above KSU in the US news rankings) are infinitely harder than the ones at KSU?
-

My background is very similar and I've gotten the same impression. We all read the same books regardless of which school we attend.
-
My chem final consisted of the exact same questions we had on our prior exams, except the numbers were changed. Plus we got a front and back cheat sheet. I have a friend at KSU who said the average was a D on his, and struggled to get a B (he's smarter than me).
-
You guys got a cheat sheet? Damn. Cheat sheets are pretty worthless though.
Chem Finals are awesome if you get a teacher that does what stunners did. My chem 2 teacher didn't do that.
