Red = Stunner's takes
purple = fatty's takes

Florida - great coaching and tradition/ won't be BMOC, poor academics (for his major), humid, bad topology,
Kansas State - kind of home / Manhattan is home to arthur, would make fatty VERY VERY happy, good student union, flint hills area nice
LSU - great coaching and tradition / very poor academics, jerseys inconsistent, ugly QB, coach may leave to UMichigan
Miami - beautiful location and great tradition / poor fan attendance, program in free-fall (unlike ours), play in pro stadium
North Carolina - great coaching / basketball school. next.
USC - great location, coaching, and tradition / "just another 5 star"

[ksuno1stunner]

IMHO, (h for honest), I hope Arthur picks a school that makes him happiest.

Go Arthur!!!

You know what though, when Arthur says his choices are all even, we probably better take his word for it.  Go Arthur!

good student union,

WOW.. that's a selling point!!!

Well it can't compare to the "One Free Rape" Card they hand out at NU that's for sure.

[catzacker]

I don't think he'd be the BMOC the moment he steps on campus anywhere except KSU, imo.  And that's not because I don't think he's a good/great player, it's just that every other school either (a) already has a roster full of players just like him or (b) their student fan base doesn't really care that much about college football.

Granted, it doesn't beat out the Tommy Lee STD distribution tour that was held in Lincoln.

[vanro031]

we heard the sleep round-up of 2004 left a lot of guys running for the free clinic in Manhattan.

You know what, I forgot to add that Brown is pretty EMAW!

 

But after that, what do we have?

It's a big hole in the ground right now.

[Pete]

I can't believe I am even typing this....

One more reason that it seems unlikely that we'll get Arthur Brown (cough, cough)...is that Harper has seemingly lowered his interest in KSU, and Broderick Smith is now listing Arizona and Minnesota as co-leaders.  I am guessing that those kids talk with Arthur from time to time.

[LimestoneOutcropping]

RP can even screw up a crapty recruiting class and make it even craptier.

[Iceberg]

Florida - hurricanes
Kansas State - Home, Instant Star, Great Following, Ability to transform himself into a Kansas legend if stays in state before going to pros, no hurricanes or earthquakes...
LSU - hurricanes
Miami - huricanes, increased chance of getting shot and be involved in an on field brawl
North Carolina- a program that won't gel around him
USC - earthquakes, way too busy lifestyle.... and I agree with fatty, just another 5 star

[Bullfn33]

You know what, I forgot to add that Brown is pretty EMAW!

 

But after that, what do we have?

 

We have a program built first and foremost on the importance of DEFENSE(linebacker play in the 3-4) and special teams.  We make defense a priority(minus the last two games) and our success has always been built around it.

That hole in the ground results in a higher stadium decibel level when Arthur is on the field head hunting a quarterback on 3rd and 13 from their own 1 yard line. 

 

[opcat]

We're spending too much time worrying about one guy.

We need Dtackles + Oline + solid lbs.

I don't think ku has alot of 5 star guys.

Yeah He'll help but one player would make that much of a difference?   We need big bodies ;good HS players and Depth.

I'd be floored if any of the local (Wichita) kids end up at K-State.

Be honest - if you were a high school star in Kansas and were being recruited by Urban Meyer and Pete Carroll, you'd rather go to K-State and be coached by Ron Prince? Not a slap, just reality. Those men have won national championships.

Just IMO, but I would choose Stoops

Sure. I can see that, too. See my point? Really, it's not bitterness or anything else. It's tough winning those battles.

What if we had a better record and were still in the running to win the North with a win over Missouri?  Would we have had a chance then?

[fatty fat fat]

who is harper being recruited by that's all-everything? weiss? LOL. Oregon? whatever.

no i don't see your point. didn't eliminating ou eliminate a former national championship coach, and one who AB had the longest relationship with (re. national championship coaches)?

also your statement was regarding all the wichita area kids. did not know that (regarding CH) weiss and bilotti had won national titles.

Hey JM have you been to the zoo yet to visit Touchdown?

He knows the truth.

[Jeffrey_Martin]

Oregon is the hotness right now. Fun offense, Eugene is mad cool and it's near Nike. 'Nuff said. Say what you want about Charlie Weis, but he has a Super Bowl ring. That speaks to kids who want to play in the NFL. And parents know what Notre Dame used to be, and that resonates.

K-State needs an infusion of something. No buzz, no cool factor for these kids. Teenagers are fickle, man. They want the flavor of the moment. K-State is lacking that right now.

[cocomonkey]

that's jut it JM Touchdown is the flava
