Prince's 2006 and 2007 recruiting classes were fine, and this one might turn out to be too. He's getting the athletes he needs to play on his first teams. Where I would be worried though if I was a KSU fan is about depth. Prince has talented starters at most positions going into this year, but in the next few seasons if a Lamark Brown gets injured how confident are you about the guys behind him? To be fair, many of the two star athletetes will turn out just fine. Unfortunately, the number of two stars that falter compared to three stars is probably much higher. Rankings aren't the 100% accurate obviously, but they are accurate enough that if an entire class is made up of two stars you probably are going to have depth problems. Eventually, those depth problems start to bleed into your first teams. We saw a similar situation at Nebraska, and it is hard to correct once it begins.
Prince showed flashes many times last year that he could be a great coach. However, he may be in danger of backing himself into a corner recruiting-wise. Like I said, I think your last two classes were fine. If the pattern emerging in your 2008 class continues, however, I think you might have significant problems down the road.
I hope that doesn't happen. I would rather have you guys be good than Missouri. Their fans are starting to remind me of Colorado's. Besides, I thought the series with you guys when both our teams were good was interesting.
