2maro. Brian Smith announces.

[fatty fat fat]

You'll see a huge change in my opinion of Prince's recruiting if he picks the cats.

Where does everyone see him going?

I don't like that he wants to announce right after going to Iowa. Seems like Iowa to me.

[WildCatzPhreak]

sounds like he picks iowa.  to quote another poster:

"the tone of the article sounds like he is talking 'we' when he speaks about iowa and 'they' when talking about us."

[michigancat]

Bill Snyder wouldn't have gotten him anyway.

yeah, not only do I disagree with that it's a retarded way of thinking.

I agree.  With you.

[opcat]

Manhatter says otherwise. Gopo site.

Excellent example of 3 star player everyone wants.  Might as well be  a 5 star player and future nfl prospect.

[fatty fat fat]

Ouch.

[fatty fat fat]

Nice job Prince. Couldn't land any of the top 3 in Kansas.

[sonofdaxjones]

Coach Scary Smart strikes again.

[fatty fat fat]

Venables would have landed him.

[michigancat]

Venables would probably be working on a 4-star LB from Texas, and Brian Smith would be a fallback plan.

[WILDCAT NATION]

Was there really any suspense?

[fatty fat fat]

Oh baby. (short breath)

[WILDCAT NATION]

Can you imagine the buzz if KSU had hired someone we had heard of and could recruit?

Or, if we had coordinator's with any experience at all? 

This should be an interesting season.

[Joker]

Oh baby. (short breath)

Gotta admit, if this guy showed up on my doorstep with a set of $hitty encyclopedias...I'M A BUYIN!!

[sonofdaxjones]

Here's my whole deal.

Don't talk ... just do it.  Don't run around and tell us how you're going to "lock down" the state, and run your mouth on and on about it, and then let a kid like Smith escape to Iowa.

Ya know ... another football coach did a lot of talking when he got to KSU, and even said this "we're going to get off the bus throwing the football" ... and by the end they ran the ball all the time.   

No Talker has ever won at KSU.

No Talker has ever won at KSU.

But this talker has a three-ring binder.

Seriously...this guy was literally hired *because* he could talk. 

[Poopley]

dude looks a little hopped up. i hope the media asks him if he still has his ksu computing access codes. he tried to hack in to the vanier football film system several times from his 'puter in norman and was caught. booby was NOT pleased.

That's exactly the type of competitive fire we need.

[Poopley]

eh-heh

[wildcatpete]

I find all of this to be very disturbing.  I currently am living in St. Louis and can remember sports radio blitzing Missouri because they could not "Lock up the State" with recruiting.  Seems to me that is the problem KSU is now having.  Wasn't Prater a 3star recruit for Synder two years ago?  I hate losing quality players like that and I do not think that it bodes well for the long term success of the program.  It looks like kids are not excited about the coaching changes and their action of leaving the program indicates speaks volumes.  Players usually do not leave unless they feel they really are not being given a fighting chance to play.  The penalty of sitting out a year is one athletes do not seem to take lightly.  In addition, the next class looks fast, but mediocre.  Can't say I'm too excited with the results we have seen since Spring Ball with either recruiting or players leaving.  Our football program is at a crossroads and I'm afraid the addition of Prince is not going to take us in the direction we want to go.  I would also like to add, I hope I am on this site in three years eating a ton of humble pie because my "opinion" is completely wrong.

we need a websight that says "hey Tim Weieser....HIRE BRENT VENABLES!!!!!"

[Dan Rydell]

No we don't.  Early signs aren't especially encouraging, but we need to wait and see what Prince can do on the field and what this recruiting class looks like once it's finalized.  If Prince can go .500 this year, I'll be encouraged, and I think we'll get some better recruits.

[catfan28]

Very well said bslimz.

Let's just let it play out.

[pissclams]

LOL @ websight

[GoldbrickGangBoss]

A month ago I was hearing 8 and 9 win seasons.

Now its, "if we can only go .500".

Scary Smart, ladies and gentlemen.

You heard this from bslimz or just some random KSU fan?

Cause sometime within the last year I heard a ku fan say he blew a goat so that must mean you partake in goat blowing as well.

Several Ksu fans.

Just read the prediction threads.
