Sources tell me its oscar Weber. Not official until 3:00. He'd better have players in pocket.
I don't think Currie really knows how this is going to go.
eff YOU, JOHN CURRIE.

I don't think Currie really knows how this is going to go.
Sure he does: a syphilitic camel could make the NCAA Tourney with the team that's coming back (assuming no major defections) and after that Currie skates just ahead of the implosion.

Doc Sadler beat the crap out of oscar Weber this year. oscar Weber. RIP KSU Bball

Weber's first step
First step is to recruit the players on his K-State roster. We're already hearing talk of a mass exodus, possibly including Rodney McGruder who we were told informed Currie he was leaving unless Brad Underwood was hired.
If there are a number of transfers, this nullifies argument that Martin had to go due to a player revolt. The roster may be purged anyway.
After I finished laughing, I actually felt sorry for the KSU fans. My God what a bad hire.I'm glad even KU fans feel our pain. :chainsaw:

Kansas State needs to understand what it is. No big-time current coach was coming to Manhattan. oscar Weber is good move.
Ouch, that hurts. Man...

And we got about as far from that as we could've gotten.

Not really sure what Currie was thinking with this one. Weber had Chicago and he couldn't win. The good thing for KState fans is Kansas has a decent shot of losing to OSU tonight. I actually think OSU, with a healthy lineup, takes the win.

The worst thing about this is that during all the Doug Gottlieb talk I kept fantasizing about DG running out of the tunnel during a midnight madness or something and appearing out of the fog/smoke and a packed OODoug going crazy. That would be so much fun.
Just now I tried to picture the same scenario only with oscar Weber and I spit beer on my computer because I couldn't not laugh. This is the worst possible hire and I can't believe we did it.
What i'm trying to say is that this will not be fun. Even if we win a little bit, which we won't, it won't be fun. It won't be exciting. It will be boring and it will suck. What a joke of a hire. I'm losing it more and more the more I think about it.
I have never felt the way that I'm feeling now about an athletic team/hire/whatever. I am just out of my mind angry.We need to come up with some nicknames for him! Something that will describe just how shitty he really is.
He is a terrible recruiter. Jerrence Howard was good. Not oscar dipshit Weber.
what's rough ridin' awful is now they are going to OVERPAY to keep underwood on staff. I mean. JFC. Just to placate the stupid rough ridin' tucks. Unds can't recruit sh*t.

Currie at presser "I found out from background check that oscar Weber cuts his own grass. We're going to find someone to cut his grass."

:lol: what a losery douche
Guys,
Weber promised to run a more up-tempo style with a deeper bench in 2008. And in 2009. And in 2010. And yet again, in 2011. Him promising to go up-tempo with a deep bench has pretty much been elevated to a yearly tradition. Of course, Weber can't actually trust his players, so his rotation shrinks to 7 and his tempo to plodding every year by the time the we hit the conference portion of the schedule. He will constantly blame departing seniors. He will never take the blame for anything. Or rather he will, but only in such a way that passively-aggressively blames others. This year he said in a press conference that it's his fault that his bad person players can't do anything right on the court and keep rough ridin' up all his instructions. I'm paraphrasing here. But only slightly.

Holy crap, could we have made a more SLTH-y hire? This is the worst. His press conference was unbearable. What the the eff have you done Currie?
Forget recruiting, Xs and Os, and coaching staff. My biggest fear is this... Basketball teams take on the personality of the coach... oscar weber is a nice guy, and super soft.

"if you have a hand, and you have five individual fingers, it is much more powerful if it becomes a fist. and tonight, you are the fist. you are the more (more) powerful object than the hand. and that's why you will be successful today, guys."
outcome:
illinois lost.

I'm just waiting for a oscar Power Towel video to accompany this incredible graphic....
I don't think Currie really knows how this is going to go.
Sure he does: a syphilitic camel could make the NCAA Tourney with the team that's coming back (assuming no major defections) and after that Currie skates just ahead of the implosion.
Jeff Goodman ? @GoodmanCBS
Kansas State needs to understand what it is. No big-time current coach was coming to Manhattan. oscar Weber is good move.
Ouch, that hurts. Man...

even if we have a great season next year it will be hard to fully enjoy because of his history of piggybacking inherited talent and then nose diving.

I was wrong, this is fun. I'll save the teeth gnashing for when Angel is gone.
honest question, do you think oscar might have a touch of aspergers?

That senior class of Angel, Gip, Nino and possibly Diaz is weird. I sure hope we can find some forwards between now and then.

I mentioned last week in Hoop Thoughts that I was impressed with Weber's ability to coach players that someone else recruited. This is a very difficult thing to do, and it speaks well of Weber's ability to manage personalities. He did the same solid work at Illinois, when he took over for Bill Self and brought the Illini to the 2005 national championship game. Now he is doing the same with Frank Martin's guys.
honest question, do you think oscar might have a touch of aspergers?
Coaching players other guys recruited doesn't impress me from a coaching perspective at all. Does it make me happy that he's doing well with the old coaches players? Sure, but I want K-State to win. Two different things.
It'll impress me when he's got all of his guys and he's 18-4 or whatever at this stage of the season.
Twenty-four hours before its most impressive win of the Big 12 season -- an 81-61 victory over Baylor -- oscar Weber kicked his Kansas State basketball team out of practice.
Loafing through drills, snickering during dead balls, not paying attention as they were being given the scouting report. The Wildcats were doing it all -- and Weber had had enough. Using words that aren’t fit for print, he told his players to go home.
There was one problem.
The Wildcats refused.
“He was like, ‘Get out of here! Get out!’” guard Rodney McGruder told ESPN.com. “I was holding the ball, and he came up and tried to yank it away from me, but I put it behind my back.”
McGruder paused.
“As a leader on this team, as a senior, I wasn’t going to let that happen,” McGruder said. “It was my job to make sure we finished that practice on a high note.”

Somehow Weber and staff got three real DITR in this class that polished the hell out of their recruiting cred. They look bright for the future, especially with the addition of Hurt.
But I seriously doubt signing nothing but overlooked talent works long term.

Is really just Jack, at least Orris was quickly replaced.
But yes, it is too soon for definitive judgments on #bruceketball, but most of last year and the past month have been really fun.

I'd be shocked if Jack is here next year. We knew we'd be short big bodies and he was an emergency add. He'll be somewhere in the Big West come this time next year.
Even Tre Harris seems to be doing well for Fishburne. If he ends up being good, I'll probably question a lot less.
Weber says he was sent to the emergency room “…17 times by the time I was 14 years old. I was constantly running into walls, twice I got hit by cars, and in baseball I came down on top of a jagged chain link fence. I was accident prone.”
As a catcher, he said, “I was not as talented as I was tough. I was pretty aggressive. I loved the contact and the action.”
As a high schooler, he had a slipped disc and cracked vertebrae, which put him in a body cast to realign everything instead of having surgery.
While his brother, Ron, was a high school quarterback, when oscar suggested that he would like to play, his parents said, “No way. Not with my history.”

Edwards is more then an impact player :fatty:. oscar might of landed his best 3 recruits ever in last year class and very few even noticed. And hell, Westicles has a very high ceiling. I also like Bolden it is hard to find kids with that kind of length and athleticism. Nigel is also a hell of a spring pick up.Transfers will be key for us.Somehow Weber and staff got three real DITR in this class that polished the hell out of their recruiting cred.

Yes.
With this year's FR and DJamer, oscar has a solid young core that looks like a group that will be at minimum a bubble team every year during their careers here. If Edwards and Bolden are impact players, then its possible that oscar will contend for another Big 12 title in the next few years.

He honestly seems like a guy who had no real intention of being a coach and just kind of goofed his way into it every step of the way.

If Frank never worked on offense like they're asserting, it kind of goes to show that working on offense doesn't help you that much. I mean, South Carolina actually has a better offense than us this year.

Yeah, it silly. This was discussed plenty here in the past; Frank's offense wasn't usually pretty but it was good. Shooting is big deal, but Frank's teams were so good at non-shooting offensive things that his offenses were very efficient. Most fans will just never get that because they don't understand offensive efficiency.
And Frank has bad defenses now, that's probably my biggest surprise of Frank at SC.
Yeah, but he actually quoted kenpom in this case.

players make the coach, not the other way around.
This is the real lesson I was hinting at when I said practicing offense was worthless.

yeah. we may disagree on being happy, but we've always agreed on this.
Doesn't a lot of what they are saying about HCBW sound like the coach who has an office a little more than 100 yards north of The Bram? Still not overly excited about the hire due to the way it went down, but if he continues to perform and get better every day, I will be firmly on his coattails.
Not sure how I feel about it...

It's amazing how many times this bullshit myth about how difficult it is to recruit to Manhattan is perpetuated. Manhattan is an identical college town to a place like Stillwater or Ames, facilities are top notch, university support is great, and yet you never see this idiotic stereotype associated about either of those two places. Just incredible that this same lazy tripe gets regurgitated time and again and even dumber when it comes from one of our coaches.
Also, freshman Westicles has shown flashes. Same with Nigel Johnson. For next year, Weber has commitments from a pair of three-star recruits, including 6-foot-10 Stephen Hunt from Florida. These are long-term college players, too, the kind who usually play four years, the kind Weber has always been most effective with.

But the point remains in the long-term — with most of the same nucleus, K-State went from 58th in offense Martin’s last year to 15th in Weber’s first year — as does a more critical fact:
K-State basketball is in better hands with Weber than it was with Martin, which means it’s in better hands with Weber than it’s been since Lon Kruger.
Again, this will be more understood in a year than it is now, and even more understood five years after that. K-State built a beautiful, $18 million practice facility, which will help take the edge off the program’s biggest shortcoming.
“It’s not the easiest place to recruit to,” Weber says. “I think everyone knows that.”

What's the fact? That we're better off because Weber had K-State build him a practice facility that will make him recruit at a level K-State's never seen before?

Some of the positive signs that are pointed out in there are decent, but its too early for articles like this. I get the points, but there isn't enough evidence yet to say that oscar will be a long term success here yet. Seems pretty apparent Mellinger a) didn't like Frank and b) likes oscar and took the opportunity to take some shots at Frank. Pretty clear that Mellinger's perception was that Frank was about Frank, but I expected with any sustained success (its hard to call a year and a half sustained) we'd see plenty of "oscar really wants to be here" columns come popping up. Mellinger was just the first to follow the formula.
yes, definitely feels too early. i mean, if OU doesn't suck down the stretch and beats us Tuesday, does he write this article?

I mean, our guys made some pretty big shots/plays to win that game and played some defense too.
In terms of tenure, about this point in his time at K-State Ron Prince had just beat Texas for a 2nd time and everyone was pretty excited about our coach.:dubious: He never won the conference tho. Also, he's taking a team of Freshman nobody's to the dance after a crap fest start. That's rough ridin' impressive

That's fair. I didn't grow up during K-state's run as a dominate program and Final Four runs. My expectations for our hobby sport is to have a team in the tourney every year. I'm not really torn on the outcome, I just want to be excited when March comes and I see my school on the bracket. Nothing more, nothing less. If oscar can deliver this, I'm all rough ridin' hands on deck.
I know. That was an awesome run and fun. I'm just thinking realistically. Whether some want to admit it or not, we do have limitations when it comes to the recruiting game.That's fair.

Dream bigger. I want tourney runs. The 2010 tourney can not be overstated how much fun it was as a K State fan.
In case anyone needs clarifying, Sam Mellinger went to journalism school at KU. He takes a lot of subtle jabs at KSU not just in this article but in past columns too. The part about it being "decades" of bad coaching hires and "decades" of lacking stable success is certainly overstating it. We were only really "bad" for one decade ('97 to '06) and mediocre in the six seasons prior to that ('91 to '96) making 2 NCAAs and 2 NITs during that time. I don't really lump Altman in with the two losers that came after him. He has proven himself to be a good coach over time.

Altman, Asbury, and Wooldridge combined went 80-164 in conference play with little difference between them.
Altman was 19-37 (.339), Asbury was 29-36 (.315), and Wooly was 32-64 (.328).
No matter how you spin it, that was a bad 16 years of basketball even if Altman and Asbury scratched out a few postseason appearances.

i certainly have more consistent fun watching a KSU FB game but i don't think a single KSU FB game in my lifetime as a KSU fan has ever surpassed the Xavier game

While I agree it's way too early to call Weber a great hire due to sustain success, I think everyone would agree that outside of a major Foster injury we expected this season to be our worst season for the next 4 years. We have Hurt and Edwards for the next two, and then this class of freshman will be seniors after that. So if we can compete for a Big 12 title and win a tournament game with this team, it seems pretty obvious that oscar's ceiling is way higher than we first thought. No one even expected us to make the tournament going into the season, and with this roster and Frank coaching I still would not have expected to make the NCAA torn-a-ment. So it kind of makes sense why Mellinger is writing this poorly written article now, right?
The "he couldn't recruit the type of players he wanted at Illinois" anecdote is rough ridin' ridiculous. I would probably wait to write this article until Illinois was done paying him 1.3 mil to stay away from their basketball team and facilities.

i'm not sure that people were constraining him with a low ceiling (if they were, i don't know why).

Most thought his previous ceiling was due to an incredible roster of talent he didn't recruit. It was definitely reasonable to think he would have a lower ceiling here.
Am I really explaining this?

Maybe #tbd should choke on some rough ridin' crow and take a walk. We don't need to be reminded after every awesome win that you think k-state will suck in 2-3 years
It is important to remind you all, lest you forget.
It was sufficiently documented within 2 days after he was hired. Give it a rough ridin' rest, lest y'all look anymore #butthurt
I will give it a rest when he proves us wrong.
Guys, I really rough ridin' hate that oscar Weber is our coach. I mean, it's miserable.
I have some experience with this feeling. I agree.Guys, I really rough ridin' hate that oscar Weber is our coach. I mean, it's miserable.
Currie has to be thinking he found the next Frank Haith?
That's all I got.
Oh, and the bonus of having Weber stand on the sidelines shouting "MOOOOOOOVE!" for 2 hours.
:dubious:
i watched roughly 20 illinois games this year, and i can tell you for certain that no coach coached harder than weber did during the illini's 80-57 loss at nebraska. the dude might as well have been a 6th defender on some possessions.
if anyone can dig up the tape, i'd love to watch it again. so funny.

@dax can you name the player now, please?Dax's Final Four Trip has confirmed that Weber is socially awkward as confirmed by a former Illini basketball player (shall remain nameless).
All of them?
