Less and less impressed with his recruits.

Beginning to wonder if he wants to have a Boys Choir or a Football team.

Sorry ... 35 years of KSU fandom has shown me that talkers, don't make walkers.

Hopefully I am wrong.

I'd say I'm a more wait and see kinda person.  He's saying all the right things, and the team is extremely excited.  I'm not passing judgement on the recruiting classes right now, because it's way to early.

I'm just idling.  But I find it amusing that people are already on one side or the other without ever watching a game played.

And it cracks me up how many of the people that hated JW so much because "all he could do is talk" are completely head over heels in love with Prince.

This is what worries more than analyzing recruiting classes or Virginia offense stats.  We've seen how suckered our fans and administrators can be by "nice guys."  I hope there's substance beneath the schtick.  We'll see.  Right now, I keep getting a sick feeling of deja vu.

Hope comes from me having a hard time believing Snyder would fall for Woodridge-esque BS.  Snyder seems to be sincere in supporting Prince as the right hire.

No, we hated him BECAUSE HE WENT SIX YEARS WITHOUT A POST-SEASON APPEARANCE. Dumbass.

Dax, now is the time for optimism. By the end of September we shall know quite a bit.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

Dude, what the guys says shouldn't change your opinion of him at all. I think it's GREAT he is articulate. Jim Wooldridge was NOT articulate, that son of a bitch just realized he needed to do everything in his power to keep his job, so he was such a good guy.

What SHOULD worry you is his offense stats at UVA and his recruiting class. That stuff is concrete.

Like I said I am in show me mode.  

This whole psuedo-intellectual bit with Prince just reminds me to much of John Mackovic.

Plus, I am disturbed by this regional recruiting kick ... that just leaves to much to chance IMO.

You lose to ku you lose to MU ... you're fighting a big uphill battle with this hell bent to recruit Missouri and Kansas system I see right now if that happens ... and god I hope it doesn't.

Snyder supported Woodridge, but he couldn't have cared that much.  I'm sure he'd hold his successor to a higher standard.

Concrete stuff like stats and recruits DO worry me.  But they don't give me the queasy feeling I get when I see Wooldridge II.  Not a matter of being articulate, but sportswriters and blind fans falling in love with his personality.

How many news articles (not message board posts) do you see right now about how smart he is and how great he is with people vs. articles raising concerns about recruiting and stats?

Come on WN.  Prince hasn't sucked yet.  Plus I was never that impressed with JW's personality.  I think he was about as media sexy as a rock.

Less and less impressed with his recruits.

Beginning to wonder if he wants to have a Boys Choir or a Football team.



Doesn't sound like "show me" mode to me.  Sounds like you've made your determination.

As far as show me mode goes, everyone (except maybe KSU34) is in show me mode.  Nobody has a clue if he is going to succeed or not, but some of us are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt at least until he coaches a few games.

I read it.  I don't see anything that remotely seems like Jim Wooldridge.  They have totally different personalities and backgrounds.  The only similarity being that people seem to like them.  I was not one of them.  I never did warm up to him.  The only logical conclusion to draw from your post is that you think he will have little success.  I propose that you give him a chance to coach a game before more of your stupid comments show up on Phog.net.

Scuba ... You sound like one of the Wabashers who take everything literally and think any negative talk about KSU is a personal afront to both themselves and a proclamation by the poster that everything at KSU sucks, and will suck forever.

My comments were:

1.  A personal observation coupled with a gut feeling ... TODAY.  Isn't there a book ... something about the mind-gut corollary or something?? Anywho ..

2.  An opinion subject to change without notice.

Again, I haven't seen a KSU coach since MAYBE Cotton Fitzsimmons who could talk the talk and walk the walk, and Cotton was more down home brash then anything ... right now I here a lot of talk from Prince.  Maybe I just need to get used to a style unfamiliar to me as a KSU fan.

I'm just wondering about your gut.

Is he supposed to say the wrong things.  Do you have something against babies?

Long time til February for recruiting last time I checked.

And as far as the boys choir thing.  WTF?  The guy is a fricken football coach and I damn sure haven't heard him sing. 

I just don't get it, that's all.  I'll check back with you when we actually have something to assess.

This must be your 'I'm sorry for being so wrong earlier' thread.
I'm telling you, this is not ANYTHING like the team from the beginning of conference play. You will see no more blowouts like what happened in OOC.  If we lose, it will not because these kids gave up, and it will be at the buzzer. -Rodless, before 97-70
