The fact that KU shamed K-State on the recruiting trail has to sting a little bit. I mean you'd think a team coming off of a Fiesta Bowl could out+ecruit 1-11, but no. Maybe that's why the K-State fanbase is so butthurt about Weis.
Gill out-recruited K-State too iirc, so did just about every team in the conference since Snydes return.
Must be comforting knowing that K-State is one coach away from being the worst program in the conference.
Well, it's not comforting, but "worst in the conference" is probably a stretch. Even when Prince was our coach we were never the worst in the conference, which is surprising in hindsight.
And that's the thing about being worst in the conference. There can be only one, and thanks to KU and programs like KU over the years (CU's, ISU's, Baylor's bad years), it's
hard to be the worst in the conference, even if recruiting sucks. There's always some program (statistically, usually KU or Baylor) who is that much worse.
