My point exactly. Great athletes=wins anywhere, I agree 100%. So you're saying Pete recruits top 5 classes to KSU if he would ever come to Manhattan? (which will never happen anyway making this entire argument stupid).
If Pete would quit at usc and set up residence in Manhattan then he would have to learn to win with top 20-30 type talent, could he do it? Maybe but I have my doubts and do not think he would be a good fit. After 10+ years of winning big Snyder never out recruited usc, texas, ou, florida, nd, michigan, ohio state or any other traditional football power and never will, period. I don't hate PC, just saying he would be dealt a much different hand if he coached at KSU.
