from KC.
My friends Brother-in-law is a coach at a KC high school, several interesting tidbits:
1. Interest in K-State has picked up tremendously since the return of OB. Their staff and players had pretty much written off K-State under Prince. With the Silver Fox's return . . . complete 180, with this school, this is a good thing, a must.
2. Coaching clinic at ku . . . lunch break, copius quantities of BBQ, Mangino comes in, doesn't say a word to a soul, proceeds to eat a massive pile of BBQ, leaves the room. Just a few hours later, dinner . . . coaches enter room stacked high with pizza's, most are not hungry, because of the massive spread from lunch. In walks Mangino, doesn't say a word to a soul, he grabs a large pizza pie, sits down, devours it, leaves the room.
3. Same friend (huge K-State family mind you) has major connection right inside K-State hoops. Hoops Staff absolutely gigged with where the program is at and with the influx of talent . . . Frank Martin, beyond cool.
