Stars don't matter because Jon McGraw and Terrence Newman are in the NFL and all Snyder's highly-ranked recruits sucked.

#1: Snyder no longer coaches KSU.
#2: When you're dealing with marginal talent, you have little margin for error. Once you lose your edge, you drop off in a hurry. See: KSU the last two years.
#3: Maybe Snyder's highly ranked recruits didn't pan out because the system wasn't catered to them.
#4: All the KSU fans predicting that we'll challenge for the North title next year better hope to high heaven that Prince has half the ability to coach players up that Snyder once did.
