How do you put K-State's class at 8? I see a bunch of juco scrubs and DeMarcus Robinson.
Don't know about the #8, but a few things about the 28 players KSU announced today:
3 players (Brown, Thomas, & Sweeney) played in D1 games last year.
1 transfer (B. Smith) that saw D1 playing time as a Fr at Minn at practiced with the team last year
11 players ( 7 HS & 4 Juco) that are on campus and will participate is spring practice
Also, 8 Players on the list that will be part of the 25 scholly limit that are not included in the Rivals rankings
Bonugli 3 star 5.6 RR
S. Lamur 2 star Juco transfer that was 2009 scout team POY
Marley 3 star 5.5 rr
Mariner 2 star 5.4 rr
B. Smith 3 star 5.7 rr
Thompson 2 star 5.4 rr
Trujillo 2 star 5.4 rr
Zimmerman 2 star 5.4 rr
And not on any list, transfer C. Harper 4 star 5.9 rr and potentially A. Brown 5 star 6.1 rr
Don't know how to factor transfers, extra year of spring practices, and actual D1 game experience into the recruiting rankings and I don't care. What I do know is those intrinsic factors can make the team better in the future and that is all I care about.
