I still not seeing all of these stars, or superstarts, sneaking out of KC to destinations other than Manhattan. So far we have otherwise listed a bunch of mediocre players who went to ku (a number of whom were from Wichita, not KC) and a few young kids at Mizzou that may (Coffman) or many not (Temple) busted out by now.
My point: Go back and look at the recruits coming out on KC in the past, say 8 years. Sproles is the most impressive, and he went to K-State. I'm not sure anyone else was great enough that they wouldn't have been replaced by another K-State recruit from another region.
Look at the Simone winners. I'll take any of the TNT over Sean Doyle. What did Brandon Shelby ever end up doing? Sproles & Mack signed with the Cats. Where is Jim Bouknight? Michael Keenan, anyone?
