My point is, for Kansas City's size, it seemingly doesn't produce a good number of quality football players. Or, at least it hasn't over the past 8-10 years.
The "more of an impact" comment is an interesting one. Two different teams, two different situations, two different talent levels on both teams. Still....
Freshman vs. Freshman
Coffman 44 receptions, 503 yards and 4 TDs
Sproles 27 carries, 217 yards and a TD
Sophomore vs. Sophomore
Coffman TBD
Sproles 237 carries, 1465 yard and 17 TDs.
Coffman would have to put up a 1179 yard, 14 TD season to match Sproles output in his their first two years. If he has that line this year, trust me, I'll be impressed. He might (might!) be better than any other TE on the Wildcats roster right now and could (could!) be K-State's starter. Thing is, Coffman would not have had a great year with K-State last year because of the way Snyder used his TEs. He could be sitting in this program in year 2 and we wouldn't really know what we have. Obviously, that's not the case with him...but it could be with other players K-State has. Something tells me Norwood will be right up there in production with him this year, so I'm not sure if K-State is losing out on any really greater thing by not having Coffman.
If he's the banner you want to use for Kansas City producing numerous high end college football players, I think my argument they haven't stands pretty well.
