I do think Kleiman will pull in more than we lose. He had to hit transfers effectively at NDSU so this will be a ripe opportunity to see if he can do it here.

We put a 2019 class together on two weeks notice with tons of hold overs from the previous staff. Many of these players were not good fits but both sides tried to make it work. New Covid scholarship rules basically require the staff to cull underclassman to continue to make room for regular sized recruiting classes. I expect a few more and then we should be done. Next year attrition will be normalized.Hmm this is very non-panicky and does not feel right on a message board

Yea, my concern level is going up. Losing a few upper classmen who didn't play much is one thing, but losing some of these younger guys who are actually seeing playing time is rough. Was he a Snyder recruit that Kleinman was able to keep or was he brought in solely by CoachK?

There's already over 600 players on the portal and the season isn't over yet, there's no way all of these players will find a home. Because there will be seniors sticking around, programs won't have the roster holes they've had in the past.

Sure if the programs can afford to carry that many scholarships, with the seniors staying.

In that they broke news before it should have? Or that they somehow got Malik to stay?
They didn't report that he was leaving in season, in fact I believe the story, not 100% sure because I'm not a GPC member, says he is out this week due to contact tracing.
Also apparently they have listed the school he's going to transfer to. That's two pieces of very specific info that could only come from a pretty good source.
That Malik Knowles tweet that people are referencing didn't dispute the report.

He supposedly isn't transferring because of anything happening here, but because he needs to be close to home. If people know North Texas already that tells me they've already talked to SMU and it won't work out.

i dont think we'll miss many of the kids who transferred. none of them were key pieces. im much more interested in our coaches thoughts on ACQUIRING transfers this offseason. we didn't seem very aggressive last year even though it was obvious we needed some. when we did try we mostly failed. much like the snyder staff i think this staff can coach and x/o but i'm not sure thats good enough at KSU. We also need our coaches to be above average recruiters.

you're a broken record with this and I agree 100% that recruiting is the most important part of the job but you don't do what they did at NDSU without being above average at recruiting and managing a roster.
You also conveniently forget that we got a likely NFL tight end from the portal this season and a couple nice RB's last year that played huge roles.

I think this is the Covid effect. Imagine coming from somewhere else to Manhattan and not being able to go out, party with large groups, go to class, etc. Would totally suck and you would miss your family and buds.
We have three times as many players in the portal than anyone else in the league, even more than KU with more to come. This can't even be passed off as cleaning up the culture as it's their players who are leaving, not Snyder's.

Yes you're correct, we don't have 3x more than everyone else in the league. We have 10, right now, TCU has 6, UT, Tech, and WVU all have 4, everyone else has 3 or less.

If Skylar is healthy, you welcome him back with open arms.
If he isn't, let Rubley and Will battle for the spot.
This program is still a few years from relevance (if ever with these coordinators?) so a year of development for either (or both?) could be huge... although frustrating to watch
Post by: kashi1965 on November 30, 2020, 06:34:39 PM
i'm all for development but other programs let the young QBs do that while transfer QBs run their team. Even most of the 5-star #1 rated high school QBs in the country get a redshirt year before they get on the field. I'm not blaming Klieman for Skylar's injury but i am blaming him for not having an adequate backup to skylar. Its one thing if your young QB is spencer rattler. He will still win you a lot of games while still developing even more. But when you throw something like Will Howard out there to develop it doesn't work for the program overall. the other guys are working their asses off just to get embarrassed every saturday because the coaches are "developing" a QB. the coaches owe it to the team to put a credible QB out there every year and let the development come predominantly from practice reps and mop up dutyI hope our staff is wearing out the F5 button on their QB transfer searches.any chance at all skylar will want one more year of college fb?

his INTs were from not seeing the field at all or even looking at the field as much as they were from inaccuracy. He is both inaccurate and doesn't see the field either. and isnt comfortable moving in the pocket either. basically does nothing rightYeah but also makes wrong reads kind of consistently.This is one of those things where FB-QB-IQ doesn't necessarily relate to Ivy entrance criteria, and vice versa.

I think they are in on a transfer CB from UNI that would make 4 really solid options at CB next year (EBD, Gardner, Denson, Transfer) and have two promising freshman CB’s(Jones and Daniels) behind that. If you want to talk depth LB makes me super nervous.

I think they are in on a transfer CB from UNI that would make 4 really solid options at CB next year (EBD, Gardner, Denson, Transfer) and have two promising freshman CB’s(Jones and Daniels) behind that. If you want to talk depth LB makes me super nervous.
I'm not going to lie, these FCS transfers are starting to get my attention. I'd probably feel a little different if we didn't whiff on Jabril Cox, but still wonder why we can't land one of the hundreds of P5 transfers.

Thomas from Minnesota and Jordan Brown from UNC, but honestly our non P5 guys(Gilbert from ball state and Briley from UNI have been more impressive I think. The FCS guys seem to be dudes who were fringe P5 guys that grew a bit and got coached up.

I didn’t see this one coming. If Knowles leaves, we are completely mumped at WR next year. And even with him back, what do we have? Him and Taylor? That’s brutal.
Post by: kashi1965 on December 07, 2020, 03:40:15 PM
having only 4 CBs that can play would be considered thin as well. they need 6 CBs who could play plus the true freshman CBs. We just are not used to having a P5 caliber depth chart. Most other programs go 3-4 deep with at least 3-star players then have the true freshmen at the bottom. Seems like we are thin at EVERY SINGLE position on the field. Seems weird we have 85 scholarship players. Seems like we have about half that on a depth chartwhen i saw his tweet i thought of him as a regular player, was surprised to see how little be played this year. losing depth is bad tho.

I'm sure this comes as no surprise but that idiot A&M fan is dead ass wrong and I'm going to let him know. All the players in the portal didn't find homes last year, in a normal season. I'm guessing that idiot doesn't know the schools still have to abide by the 120 roster maximum including walkons. He's out of his rough ridin' mind if he thinks a lot of schools will be carrying many more than 85 scholarship players, even though they can. Those extra scholarships cost a crap ton of money.

I didn’t make the accusation but I can’t say I’m 100% sure it’s irrelevant. There was a bunch of stuff that went down this year with a kstate student on Twitter. Youngblood was pretty vocal about wanting the kid kicked out of kstate. It didn’t happen and josh was one of the first to announce that he was gone. Then a bunch of other people in his recruiting class eventually bailed as well. I don’t think anyone other than the coaches and players can say for certainty what the hell happened/is happening behind closed doors.

Youngblood announced he was transferring early in the year? Think MIR meant Knowles?
No. Kashi said Youngblood. YB was out with COVID contract tracing for Arkansas State, he was the starting returner and 3rd WR against OU and the starting KR and either 3rd and 4th WR against TCU. Playing time wasn't this issue, if he said touches then fine, but YB was absolutely playing before he left, essentially the same role he had in '19.

That would be fantastic, dude has been snake bit since he's been here. He just needs one injury and drama free season. If he transfers to rough ridin' North Texas I'll be pissed, he's so much better than that.
He’s a dude, has all the tools. Would like to see his hands develop a bit and see some more contested catches brought, though. Hope he breaks out at some point.
Got to think having Sky and Rubley helps bring him back. Nobody wants to spend the next few years trying to catch those wobbly ass Howard passes.

Can someone tell me how to feel about any of these transfers?
I think the DT is a quality pick up. The TE they were targeting would've been big time, but sounds like he is no longer an option. And the LB seems pretty meh to me, at a position we need way more than meh.
Might be time for some of the young TE's that we hear good things about to step up, not sure there will be anything else on the market.
Would assume they get another LB, a CB, S, WR and maybe RB.

My thoughts exactly. I don't think Munoz is anywhere near an every down P5 linebacker.
I guess for as much as Klieman and Klandy like to rotate our linebackers, it probably makes sense to add some bodies that at least have experience playing college football rather than a walk-on RSJr linebacker from Hiawatha.

At K-State. I understand transferring if you're blocked on the depth chart, but he would start and be able to play against better competition by staying. Has to hate the coaches or K-State to want to leave.

You know exactly what that's about, most college football fans don't actually like or care about the players at all, they are laundry and laundry isn't entitled to opinions and should be blindly loyal.
So I'm guessing Alexander's Mississippi State offer was for a walk on spot?
I wasn't caping up for Alexander, I'm also not buying all the rumors listed here, we've seen enough of damaging wrong rumors about players that fans will just float for shits and giggles. There is enough evidence out there by just reading Alexander's social media that he hates the staff. I was just speaking generally why some people are clearly unreasonably pissed at a college student for being a college student.
BTW even if all the rumors listed here are true, so what, I'd assume most players who transfer have bad things to say about the place they're leaving, they aren't leaving because they are satisfied. It also stands to reason that many transfers want their friends to leave with them.

Yeah I don't know if JA is a good person or not -- how the hell would I know?I can’t personally vouch but a couple of connected people say he’s been negatively recruiting guys. TC, etc.He has been negative about the staff/team on IG live or stories or something.

Yep, that's the point. No one thinks you need to love the dude. He's also not doing the slightest bit of damage to K-State football. If he is the coaches are a bigger problem that anyone thinks. Iowa put together a top 25 recruiting class after having one of the worst off-seasons a football team has had in some time, the head coach is literally a defendant in a current racial discrimination lawsuit from players people have actually heard of.

There haven't been recruiting rankings for that long. Snyder 1.0 definitely out recruited Iowa, the rankings didn't exist then but you can see the statuses of the programs and the number of players in the league to see we were 'crutin better. The rankings started in '02 and then and '04 we had top 15 classes.
After '04 we didn't recruit for crap and yeah they have been better than us since then, but that isn't due to some magical pull to Iowa City, Iowa, it's just as isolated as Manhattan, that's like my friend kashi says is all about the coaches at each program. Minnesota, Missouri, Ole Miss, and Oklahoma State are some pretty obvious examples of this.

MIR Iowa's stadium holds 70k and their budget is like, 20m more annually than K-State. They've also been winning quite a bit more than K-State over the last 10 years.
What does any of that have to do with Kansas State's poor recruiting the last 15 years?
By the way the last 10 years Iowa has 79 wins, Kansas State has 76 and a conference championship.

Cool, what's the excuse for the other 52 programs we seem entrenched behind? I'm sure Pitt's National Championship legacy before 1976 and their average of 40,000 fans in a 75,000 seat stadium they don't own really resonates with recruits.

It's kind of a well kept secret, but I don't see any harm in sharing here. The true reason Yeast transferred is that K-State's basketball coach, oscar Weber, recruited him to play as a guard on the hoops team. So watch for this young phenom to be a dual sport athlete down the line.

Nobody wanted grunnies kid around here and he was super salty about it on the radio for years. I’d be totally shocked if he landed around these parts.
It's safe to say this was another Snyder miss, especially considering he didn't sign Noah Johnson either. The state of Kansas had back to back Power 5 centers with no P5 offers that we didn't land although damn near the entirety of those two classes didn't have other P5 offers.

100%. Kinda weird for a guy who takes a shot on almost every small town kid as a PWO in the state of KS. He did the same thing to Trent Green’s kid. Not that he was great or anything, but still found valuable playing time at Northwestern at QB.Nobody wanted grunnies kid around here and he was super salty about it on the radio for years.

I don't know how much he played but center is one position on the oline that doesn't platoon. Usually the backup only plays in garbage time or if the starter gets hurt.

I think I read he had something like 99 snaps during his time at ND -- exclusively garbo time. His PFF run blocking grade this year was 53. I think he's terrible, but if he's better than whoever else would otherwise start, then it makes sense.he was a no star who walked on at ND and didn't play.

Beat out by a decent walk on as a RS Sophomore. Sounds like people (fans) kept waiting for him to take over but didn't see the field.
Iowa’s defense was nice, but plays mostly zone schemes. Just need to get him on island?!
Either way, still an upgrade to the secondary

I read the reason he only played two games this year may have been because he wasn't fully healthy from the knee injury he suffered as a freshman.

Wonder if we could lure the McCaffrey kid from Nebraska in?
Would assume he went to hs in Denver? Possibly a Rubes connection?
Sounds like where he wants to go or who will want him will be determined by his future position. (QB or WR)

Have a friend who is a nubbs fan, so watched a fair amount this last year of him, WR should be the only position allowed for him. He's just not going to be a QB. Even the nubbs fan wanted him to either be WR or a RB, not a QB.

Rubes mentioned choosing not to go to HS with the McCaffreys because he wanted to build something at his HS. I would assume they at least know each other which can't hurt.

Because they tweeted this out, I'm assuming we're done? If they are done here there will only be 19 players in this class, 6 scholarships short of what's allowed.
Was Briley here in the spring last year?
Got to assume the staff will continue to play portal combat, especially with guys that have 2+ years left.

That's a big ass IF, he hasn't been healthy since 2016. I think it is funny that his little brother will be in the NFL while Daniel is still putting in work for free. Good luck to Daniel, I hope he joins his brother in the league in 2022.

Leaving at the end of spring ball screams that he's unhappy with where he is on the depth chart.

He’s leaving to be a starter, there aren’t 200 starting jobs in the P5. Coastal Carolina offered him out of high school and is a few hours south of his home town, that would be where I would place my bet on his landing spot.

Pretty simple. They handled their business and knew their assignments, just wanted to transfer to K-State. They've always done it the right way.
Guys that leave K-State didn't do everything they could. Always character red flags when you leave here.

A lot of dudes who transfer, come from smaller programs and want to play at a higher level to be seen their last few years. Briley Moore, Stubblefield, etc. A lot of dudes who transfer out of P5's, end up at smaller programs. But yes guys, DRAG HIM!

The message is fine. He is saying if you decide to transfer out do some introspection on reasons for leaving. The free transfer process is new and many kids just haven’t done their homework on the reality of where transfers are landing. It likely means a step down to lower level football, especially if you couldn’t crack the rotation at KSU.It usually means this for K-State players 95% of the time when they leave. Btw, how did Youngblood do at Rutgers this year?

There's also a major backlog with player eligibility for the next few years. There will most likely be thousands of kids in the portal this year, for not a lot of P5/even D1 spots.

That's the least surprising news of all time. Good on him for sticking it out for the entire season.
Yeah, I liked him, but it just never materialized and unfortunately his biggest splash on the season was potentially completely changing the trajectory of the OU game with his fumble. But, still, wish him well.

well I'd rather have more than 1 returning rb with experience, especially taking into acct the qb and wr situation. jfc you're exhausting.

Lots of praise for Giddens in the spring and Weathers is a very good athlete. It’s like the easiest position to find quality depth at in the portal. Be worried about QB, WR, DT, LB and S.
I know literally nothing about the rbs outside of the top 3, so I hope one or two of the other guys can contribute next year.
the other positions are clearly concerning. as it stands now I think this team finishes last next year

Yes! Obviously he would wear #2 as well.
I can’t believe Ferenrtz had a 4star sitting behind Petras, and didn’t bother giving him reps. Petras was pedestrian. There’s another team in need of a new OC. Guess we should be thankful Mess isn’t Klieman’s kid.

Nether of those guys got nearly the carries they would get somewhere else and it's not like they are going to start giving deuce the ball less.

I have watched exactly 0 games of his and am 100% confident saying that he is better than Will Howard.

I've watched a ton of Nubbs games this year (mostly cause of friends and Nubbs and K-State games happened very often at the same time) and he's definitely not the crux of Nubbs issues at all. He's a bit turnover prone, but really, Nubbs issues kinda actually follow the chernobyl ranking in that Nubbs had a lot of bad luck/poor execution and play calls, especially on defense. He's a great runner, and decent passer. He'd work I think pretty well in our offense. He'd be much, much better than Howard IMO

He’s just had some sort of surgery on his arm so we will see what version of him we get. The knock on Martinez is fumbles, he had an absurd amount at Nebraska. If a new OC and Klieman can agree to modify the offense to let him run the ball with deuce, they could be really tough to stop.

I watch a ton of nebraska football due to wife/inlaws.
Martinez has a ton of "raw talent" better arm than skylar IMO. needs to work on turnovers, not sure if this was a scott frost problem or a martinez problem.
He's absolutely a massive upgrade over anyone on the roster next year, turns a 5 win season into a 7-8 win season IMO (if they can land a WR in the portal as well)

You can tell he has a lot of talent when you watch him. The fact that he's been their #1 QB since he was a freshman also speaks to that.
yes, he's definitely a fun qb to watch. I would be very excited to watch him throw the football for the cats football team next year if that's what he wants to do.

Yeah, I don’t think “fumble prone” is really even a thing. Like maybe he has issues trying to make too much happen or just doesn’t secure the ball properly but that’s all coaching 101 stuff.
Yea the coaching environment over the course of his tenure has been less than ideal at Nebraska

I tried to find the video of this. I attempted to type in "Adrian Martinez interception Wisconsin." Well the auto complete gave me Adrian Martinez interception vs Purdue instead. Didn't get a video but I got this. This was from Halloween, of this season, one month ago.
Quote
Adrian Martinez (14 for 29 for 269 yards) was awful. Of the yards passing, 104 yards came on the final drive when the game was all but decided (a 10-yard holding penalty added to the 94-yard drive). Martinez may end up breaking about all the Husker quarterback career records but may well be remembered for his record of futility. The four-year starter made bad decisions followed by worse decisions and the cruel joke is that perhaps Purdue should have awarded him the game ball. After offering up a 45-yard pick six to Jalen Graham (who later picked Martinez again), he attempted a very ill-advised underhand toss to Travis Vokolek that was also stolen. At least he was under center for an early 3rd and 1 conversion but then later fumbled the snap while under center (because apparently, they don’t practice that very often).

He's certainly made plenty of mistakes at Nebraska and probably hasn't progressed as much as he should have.
I can't help but think a lot of that is on the dogshit coaching frost provided him, along with a dogshit o line and backfield. a lot of his ints are clearly receivers running the wrong routes (it's possible its AM throwing the wrong routes, but at some point the coaching staff benches you for that)
at any rate, even if all the ints and fumbles are on him, he's still a much better option than anyone on the roster for next year. hopefully the coaching staff can develop an offense that works w his skillset and keep him out of situations that force him to try to do too much. If he ends up a cat I'll be looking forward to see how much his game changes.

There are currently 57 FBS quarterbacks in the portal with plenty more to come. If we are of the belief that anyone is better than Will, I have no idea why that someone has to be a senior who's proven weakness is even worse than Will's.

lol nebraska's offense was so terrible. they had one of the worst OLs in the P5 and rarely had safety valves to dump off to, setting AM up for failure almost every play.
by the time they played wisconsin pretty sure he had already hurt his shoulder and could barely throw the ball over 15 yards.

Guys, as someone whose second favorite team is eff Nebraska I have watched an absolute assload of Martinez rough ridin' up. There is a never ending amount of media of it being hilarious. That said, massive upgrade over our absolute crap bag of a QB depth chart.Yea I’m not proud of where our QB situation is but here we are. Grant Gregory got us to 6 wins with less than one arm and Vic Koenning and Chris Cosh were coordinating the defense. We can avoid complete embarrassment with Martinez and we should accept our good fortune.
There are currently 57 FBS quarterbacks in the portal with plenty more to come. If we are of the belief that anyone is better than Will, I have no idea why that someone has to be a senior who's proven weakness is even worse than Will's.
Lots of them aren’t better than Will, for example Chubba Purdy. There will certainly be better options than Martinez but none that will want to come play in an offense who’s best WR will be Phillip Brooks if we are lucky enough to keep him.

We crap on Will and Mess a ton but he only had one interception this year. I bet they could craft an offense that's safer than Nebraska but can do more with Martinez's arm than Howard's.

Martinez had a lot of forced errors, and a lot of errors because of shitty o-line. If you are a Chiefs fan, you know very well what a bad o-line does to a great QB. His upside blows away anything we have now. His run threat with Duece could be very fun to watch.

Only Will Howard out snapped him at the QB position if I recall correctly. Will check the tape though.

Frustrating a.f. but he doesn't turnover the ball like Martinez does and he doesn't have damn near 45 games under his belt. I realize the potential with Martinez but I'm not of the belief that his issues are because of Nebraska's coaches or his crap offensive line. He's a grade a poor decision maker.

I think you really underestimate the impact of coaching when it comes to decision making/total turnovers. Will only had one interception this year because he was only asked to throw the safest routes imaginable (and he got lucky some of those weren't picks). If they called the same plays for Will that they called for Sky he would have had way more interceptions. I'm sure focusing on limiting interceptions and the required decision making was a point of emphasis for Will in every practice as well
Post by: michigancat on December 03, 2021, 11:59:52 AM
This year he attempted 55 and had 1 interception.
decision making isn't some fixed attribute in a player.

You can scheme your quarterback not to throw the arm punts that Martinez loves. You can't scheme your way out of inaccuracy, or an irrational belief of your arm strength.

I am expecting Martinez to be somewhat turnover-prone but I do think better situations and OL play can help quite a bit. I'm sure I'll leave some games frustrated by him. I do think they'll at least be worth watching as I'm not particularly interested in Will Howard trying to score 20 points and hoping it's somehow enough.

Aside from the throw talked about in that Wisconsin game, the whole highlight reel from it is pretty damn good.
Martinez has been an INT every 35 attempts guy for 4 years. That's with a sample size of 1,000+ throws. Will is an interception every 20 throws type. (for reference Skylar has been an INT every 50 attempts guy basically his whole career)

The juco one should be michael bishop and the hs one should be ell roberson. If martinez IS ell roberson, make the high school one daniel sams.

If we're going to lose i'd rather lose like that then just trotting out some predictable impotent game plan that will only work if the opposing DC is completely stupid.

Yeah I agree, my point wasn’t to become Nebraska. But if AM can help keep us close/give us a chance to win the tough games and win the other 7, I’d be really happy w that.
With a better coaching staff Nebraska would have easily won 7-8 games this year. Frost is a terrible big 10 coach.

Yeah I agree, my point wasn’t to become Nebraska. But if AM can help keep us close/give us a chance to win the tough games and win the other 7, I’d be really happy w that.
With a better coaching staff Nebraska would have easily won 7-8 games this year. Frost is a terrible big 10 coach.

Yes, pleaseAbsolutely not. I’ve watched more IU football than anyone in this blogsite. Even before he got hurt for the 4th time in 4 years this season, he was a shell of himself. He’d make Grant Gregory look healthy.

What does it say about us when we insert Penix in the lineup?It really depends on the new OC.
Knowing CK’s MO my guess is we’d smash the hole with him a few times. If Penix can get some good penetration, the rest is easy. Spread out the opposition and work the balls down the field. We’d drop loads of points and could fall back on our D to hold stiff and secure the W.

The idea of penix being able to res-erect this flaccid offense arouses my curiosity, and if I’m honest, it kind of gets my blood pumping. Since he’s a south paw I think the appropriate nickname for him is The Stranger
Pages and pages of dick jokes and I finally laughed at this one.

:lol:
I don’t think that many others were saved this year from a completely untenable QB situation by there being a pandemic and the adequate QB (not good enough to leave for pros or better options) was allowed a 6th year.
And I don’t think that many others are getting saved next year from a still untenable QB situation by both the pandemic still giving players (again, not ones good enough to go pro) a 5th year of actual playing and there being such a QB who’s in a medium-distance relationship with someone at the school that desperately needs a QB.
If the world stays unchip’d and COVID never ends and 5-6 years of playing becomes permanent, some crap might work out fine every year going forward for KSU to have a replacement old QB, which will solve all the recruiting problems.

He's not close to as likeable and charismatic as Wooly, but that's okay, both he and oscar seem to be decent men that you'd have to have be somewhat of a weirdo to have an issue with while not having a relationship with that person.

The only stats that are really bad are his turnovers. And, yes, they're pretty bad.
But, he'd easily be the most dynamic QB we've had since Sams and, arguably, you could go all the way back to Roberson. He's also a much better passer than either of them.

When you put it that way it all makes sense. Sure he could of came here and played the pokes but at the end of the day he wanted to lay the wood with the best and we just couldn't provide him that opportunity.

If you've followed this thread for longer than a month, yes.
Interesting move for him, lateral at best. If this ends up being his last stop that means he won't turn out to be very good

Don't remember the name, but hopefully central ark is a good fit for him.

He's a dual threat with 3 years of eligibility left from Northern Iowa. He was one of the QBs I wanted and thought there was a possibility we'd land. We clearly didn't target him. He led UNI to the playoffs in 2020 and nearly beat flood aggie.

ah yeah, i remember now. If he's going to central ark then he either didn't want to be part of P5 football, or had no interest from coaches.

He will do well there, hopefully he can showcase his talent with more reps now. I think only one of our transfers the last two years has landed P5 and that’s Tee Denson.
Youngblood is at Rutgers but has not done much of anything

It's an article and that's not what he said, Jesus Christ. He said that finding an OC isn't a priority right now. He has an interim that he wants to test out and signing day was yesterday for fucks sake, I would hope he would prioritize Jaren Kanak over meeting with whoever the hell is going to get the job.
Klieman has also strongly indicated that the players very much want Klein and he had to let mess go because he lost the players.
I'm guessing if Colin nails the bowl prep, connects with the players and recruits that he's going to get the job.

I mean sure, but I guess i'm of the opinion that an OC is pretty important and that since he just fired one for being bad, he should prob prioritize finding a new/better one. Also, him letting the current players hire Klein is worse than not looking for an OC at all right now in my opinion. Those are just my opinions though and I don't know anything.

I think it’s likely he has an idea who he wants to hire but most coaching changes will happen after the coaching convention happens in early January right after the bowl game. I think he’s giving Klien a legit chance at the job, should be a good trial run of what he’s got as an offensive play caller.

It was one but was made good on a double or nothing for the CFP standings. I think he does have the potential to be very good, but I'm apprehensive about it, even with that O/U of 8.5 seems really high.

If they can pick up 1 or 2 competent WR, a DB or 2, and a LB 8.5 sounds about right.
QB- Good to Very Good
RB- Great
OL- Very Good
WR- Bad (right now)
TE- ??
DL- Very good
LB- Average, Green makes up for a lot
CB- below average
Saf- below average
If Klieman can find some portal guys for the defense like they did this year they could definitely have a 9+ win season. Maybe AM knows some WR that are looking for a new home?

How you figure our OL and DL will be “very good”
OL was pretty good this year and don't think we'll lose anyone other than Noah Johnson.(unless I'm confused on who gets another year) Riley seems to be a good OL coach.
DL returns Felix and Duke, Lose Horne but Huggins gets another year. Matlack seems to be improving + they signed the Juco DT.

Post by: KCFDcat on December 17, 2021, 08:55:01 AM
I think our lines will be pretty much identical to this year with maybe a slight uptick at OL swapping Johnson for Panzer and Adler/Rivas for Poitier and Leingang. The juco DL won’t be ready next year and we are going to have to get someone to replace Horne, don’t think they are on the roster right now.
thats fair. If Duke and Felix can stay healthy all year that will make a big difference.
I was pretty happy with the OL play this year, although I'm definitely not an expert and don't spend much time looking at advanced stats etc to back that up. But during gameplay there didn't seem to be massive breakdowns too often.

You don't think the lines were very good this year? I do.
Fireman, I think your assessment of the secondary was harsh, unless you think we won't be able to replace the pieces that are graduating this year. I thought the secondary was awesome, needed to create more turnovers but the coverage was good and they were great in run support. I think Klieman and Klanderman are starting to hit their stride and we're going to reload on defense as the young players in the program learn the system

I think the DL was above average, maybe 3rd or 4th best unit in the league. Left side of our OL was very good but from Noah Johnson on over to the right, we were average at best. Staff appears high on Leingang and he did play some tackle this year so maybe we can slide Duffie inside to play a more natural guard position. I think the OL is trending towards elite if Riley sticks around.

Yeah maybe a bit harsh, losing stubblefield, yeast, and mcpherson is a pretty big hit.
They certainly have a chance to be good! but they won't have a ton of starting experience coming back outside of boy-dowe

Post by: DQ12 on January 03, 2022, 09:13:04 AM
Klieman's (and the staff's) derelict recruiting put us in a sub-optimal spot this season -- particularly at the WR position. We weren't able to patch that spot in the portal and it really hurt us this season imo.Branden Jennings, stud Maryland LB, to KSU via the portalThis is why I laugh at people who cry about Klieman's recruiting rankings.
That said, this is a huge pickup and crosses off a big need next season (and beyond). Big ups to CK and the staff for bringing Jennings into the fold. Still, gotta be better at HS recruiting if we want to take the next step to be in the mix at the top of the conference.
Next year's defense is going to be a monster. We're a player or two away from having one of the most complete defensive starting 11s we've ever had.

Regionally it makes sense, but I have a hard time believing he wants to play behind Vaughn. He was pretty damn good this season. He's got 3 years of eligibility too.
Yea his numbers were pretty good. He would be a great compliment to Deuce. I guess if he uses a redshirt he could get two years as a starter.

This is kinda weird.
It’s very on brand for OU. Their fan base probably is lapping that up.
They will lap up the AD's statement, but they will torch the kid for his.
Yeah that are really in their feelings over losing their coach
When Williams commits to USC they are gonna Melt down
Post by: DQ12 on January 04, 2022, 12:34:25 PM
that OU's AD is putting out that statement when a single player enters the transfer portal is beyond absurd.

Who’s that RB who transferred to V Tech from KU who was RB2 at KU and got drafted after he left, while pooka is on the practice squad now? The school you choose really matters for some of these players futures.

I always wonder if players like Ty Lockett would have went to KU, which he was considering, and how that would have affected his future.Tyler was never for a single second considering KU. They were the chip he needed to get the offer he wanted.

Dude wasn't going to start here ahead of Felix and Matlack. He also had Boom Massie ahead of him on the depth chart this year. He also only played 3 games in 2020, one was against OU, he had like 3 snaps. His only other D1 offer when we signed him from Juco was from UTEP. Lincoln Riley has something else in mind here, there's not enough tape for the offer to be about talent.

I'll be alone on this island but I have no idea how Ky Thomas would work here and I'm not excited about it. This past season all K-State running and fullbacks not named Deuce Vaughn had 237 carries in 13 games. Ky had 166 in only 9 games, that's actually sightly more carries per game, 18.4 to 18.2, than Deuce got. Even if we decide to play faster next year both of them will get significantly fewer carries, remember our QB carries will likely increase next year too. This just doesn't make sense, unless Geoff Ketchum was on to something.
It doesn't make sense for Ky. Adding a really good player even though you already have a really good player at that position makes perfect sense for K-State.

No shot he's punting on a year of eligibility
It doesn't make sense for Ky. Adding a really good player even though you already have a really good player at that position makes perfect sense for K-State.
No doubt, however this staff in particular has had major issues with the locker room going sideways with keeping players happy. I'd think they would be less likely to treat the roster like a fantasy football roster, particularly on the offensive side where they've lost all of their senior leaders.
Yea, Ky is likely a significant upgrade on any of our backups from last year plus potential to use either Deuce or Ky at other positions plus new OC equals no idea how many touches Ky could get if he came here.
Nether he nor Deuce would be anywhere close to 18 carries per game unless we're going to the triple option. ARE WE GOING TO THE TRIPLE OPTION? :excited:

Even if he did Thomas is going to pick a destination before any tampering claim is settled. Presumably, if he's going to KU or K-State if he doesn't enroll by the end of the day Friday he's going to be a late enrolee which means he doesn't have a whole lot of time left if he wants to participate in spring football somewhere.

John Currie :curse:
That guy was a rough ridin' menace to student athletes. I don't know if what he did with Leti Romero was worse than what he did to Jamar.
For those who don't know or don't remember. Leti was a stud freshman point guard on the women's basketball team. When Deb Patterson was fired Leti wanted to transfer but Currie made up a false tampering claim, never made a formal claim by the way, just fed media bullshit, because he thought Leti was going to go to Northern rough ridin' Colorado. She was from Spain and because he wouldn't release her, she couldn't go home when the school year was over, she had to stay in Kansas. She ended up at Florida State, because why would one of the best young guards in college basketball transfer to Northern Colorado?
She ended up a three time all American and she won an Olympic silver medal playing for Spain in 2016. I'm pretty sure she is still playing pro basketball in Spain.

Not only that (and I know CK is the new O-coordinator so this could change) but Klieman's NDSU teams had 3-4 players with over 100+ carries in a season. I think there are opportunities for carries here and Ky would be a big upgrade.This past season all K-State running and fullbacks not named Deuce Vaughn had 237 carries in 13 games.I think this is wrong.

In any event, we probably need a transfer RB this off-season, and Thomas is about as good an option as I think we could reasonably expect. Would be a great solution imo.

I think you mean 2023 but yea I agree Ky has a clear path to becoming the primary back after playing with deuce for a year
Look, I hope we get him, but it defies logic that he would transfer from a situation when he was the primary ball carrier, behind one of the best offensive lines in America, to back up an All American running behind a line that needs to be rebuilt. Possibly becoming the primary ball carrier in 2023 when you can definitely be the primary ball carrier in 2022 doesn't seem like a great sell to me, particularly when this staff already missed on this player, when there wasn't an incumbent starting running back.

I believe Mohamad Ibrahim is returning next year for Minnesota, so he probably would be playing behind him.

They also have that other freshman that got almost as many touches as Ky in the bowl game. While he possibly would have been first in line for carries to start the year, that backfield could’ve been pretty crowded if he’d have stayed.

He was only the primary ball carrier after 2-3 guys in front of him got hurt, and it sounds like they are all coming back. He wouldn’t be the primary guy if he stayed.

yeah i think the interior of our ol is getting a big time upgrade. we should have a pretty stout group of hogmollies next year
Remember when we had the NFL’s second heaviest OL back in 1998 or so? Nothing but hogmollies and road-graders. Sound like beef is back on the menu at Kansas State.

A three-star JUCO prospect out of El Dorado (Kan.) Butler Community College in the 2018 recruiting class, Honas made his impact known in his short time at Nebraska. After playing just four games in 2018, Honas appeared in 11 as a junior for the 2019 season and recorded a career-high 67 tackles — five for loss — and one sack. That season set Honas up for a big 2020 campaign, where he totaled 57 tackles (6.5 for loss) and three sacks on the year. Honas earned Honorable Mention All-Big Ten honors after that season.

This looks right.
"He’s a Florida State legacy (his father Bradley was a 3-year starter for the Noles in the late 90’s early 2000’s) and Branden was committed to the Noles initially before deciding he wanted to play for Michigan, and then deciding he wanted to play for Maryland, and then deciding that he wanted to play for Kansas State. A move back to Florida, either with F.S.U., or more than likely, a directional Florida school would complete the circle. He’s a talented athlete, but seems to have a case of perpetual wanderlust."

Mildly surprised we haven’t seen any players announce they are jumping into the portal since spring practice has finished. Is there a deadline that they need to announce by or is it, just show up by start of semester and everything is fine.
I vaguely recall reading May 1 is some sort of deadline, but take that FWIW (very little).

It was last week, long enough to see he was behind Will Honas on the depth chart. What's wild about Jennings is that Wyatt said he also was hurt for most of the spring.

If Klieman is telling the truth about the extent of the injuries, it would seem this would be unprecedented. Even Snyder didn't use injuries as an excuse not to hold a spring game or open practice. So we're either left with taking Klieman at his word or calling him a liar. If we're going to take him at his word there needs to be questions, starting with the person who's responsible for the off-season workouts. I don't know if Tru is doing something to make all of these guys unable to practice but I feel like we gotta ask the question.

haven't recruited DT much (don't need as many numbers in this new system), and we lost that one islander dude and brayden wood.
other than some general (ever present) recruiting/attrition concerns, i don't really view the current injury situation as all that alarming -- at least not this year. i have no clue who is going to be our starting DT next year.
assuming duke gets healthy, i think he and Felix are going to be two of the best pass rushers in the conference, and have one of the best linebackers in the conference playing behind them. matlack should also be a nice piece to spell those guys. honas had a decent track record at nub and should work fine. i think our secondary is going to be decent/good.
all in all, jennings was going to be really helpful, but the loss is covered up a bit by honas.
next year is going to have a ton of new faces. suffice to say, this is a very important year for Klieman to have success, imo.

I think there is plenty of evidence to indicate Klieman lies quite a bit to the media. He said Will Howard was the best backup QB in the country and we all know he doesn’t believe that. I just take it as coach speak like when he said Jax Dineen has made a position switch to RB.

Yes, it is hard, but it is hardly uncommon. I can't remember a senior day where there wasn't a kid on the field, seems real weird to bring it up more than once, a year apart.

They are granting waivers to everyone that asks, see Brandon Jennings as an example. The NCAA has said eff it and is throwing it back to member institutions to make the changes if they want it so bad. They got embarrassed with NIL and have taken their ball and gone home.

The plantation owner attitude that is slowly being rooted out of college sports is what's gross. We don't treat athletes the same as other students. No one else who transfers to a different school is denied participation in extracurriculars. Now, we can argue whether replacing it with capitalism is the right move, but probably the wrong thread, and I don't even care tbh.

Nope, that's great. Being elite at a sport shouldn't come with freedom of movement. Coaches, administrators, non scholarship athletes, and general students can come and go whenever they want. The only people restricted are scholarshipped athletes, that's what's actually gross. I've, for the longest time, wanted the NLI to be abolished, this essentially does that.

I don't really care how often it happens, I think it helps spread out talent, but that being said, there needs to be reasonable rules (if not already) like deadlines/transfer periods. I assume it's already like that. I also wouldn't be opposed to like a 2 transfer per person cap. That's be 3 schools, that seems like a enough moving around to keep it reasonable.
No caps, what if you want to transfer before you even step foot on campus, you shouldn't be penalized for that.
There will definitely be deadlines and transfer periods.
Some coaches will openly bitch about this, but this is really good for everyone and is something that will somewhat balance the scales of power between FBS schools.

Lil dumb on my end, but how does the NIL work, to me if the kids get some payment there should be some expectation of services. When does the transaction happen? If I was the school I'd be pissed to fork over cash to not have anything to show for it. I guess to me the cap should be something to at least garner some amount of loyalty. But maybe checks don't clear until they get on campus. What do I know

If you would have read the article on TTU's NIL deal with athletics you would see that they only get paid per month, so if they leave the pay stops. Issue solved.

Should I clarify that I said NLI and not NIL? I was speaking about the national letter of intent that coaches make kids sign, when they're in high school, that states their scholarship is tied to remaining at the school they signed with. Back in the day when people talked about releases for transfers, they were talking about being released from the NLI.Schollies are one year deals. I am obviously missing something but what is the problem of saying that someone who receives a scholarship has to actually attend the school they are getting a scholarship from?

I followed - my response was related to your comment but was talking NIL, not NLI, although I think they're both headed in the worse direction for the sport. I'm sad to see the sports I love change for the worse, imo, but also can't justify the unfair treatment of athletes to maintain the status quo.

That's not what the NLI did though. When you signed that paper, the scholarships were one year scholarships, but that obligation was only for the coaches. The coaches could drop your scholarship whenever they wanted, but if you wanted to leave the school after the year was over the school had to permit it. The obligation of the NIL was all on the students, the coaches and school could, and did, just dump student athletes on the street.
Glad players can now leave without penalty.
Also revenue sports have nothing to do with how many rights should have been granted to the athletes. Because a football player makes more money for the school, his right to transfer should be more restrictive than a tennis player? That's some slave crap.

I didn't forget about him, just as I didn't forget about Lewis. I don't know anything about him, haven't heard anything about how he's doing. I know he's never won a scout team award.
I just assume he's one of those QBs who are on the roster but are only there to be a scout team QB and never see the field, guys like Justin Evans, Ryan Manes, Hunter Hall, Nick Ast and Parker Kavanagh.

I think Lewis is graduating. Can’t see us getting a transfer QB to come be a primary backup, that just doesn’t make sense. I do really think the staff likes Lara, enough that he’s not a token depth chart guy.
No, we aren't going to get a P5 starter, nor should we even try for one, but I think we can grab a G5 guy or a P5 who is currently down the roster a bit. There are going to be far more QBs in the portal than starting QB positions, a lot of those dudes won't be starting. Good to hear that Lara could be an option, if Martinez couldn't get a full grasp of the offense, I'd hate to see what some career backup from the MAC would struggle with.

I remembered this from an October 6th article in the Wichita Eagle:
“It is unusual for Kansas State football coach Chris Klieman to praise a member of the Wildcats’ scout team without being directly asked about the player during one of his weekly news conferences. So Adryan Lara must be doing something impressive behind the scenes.
Klieman gave Lara a special shout out before K-State defeated Texas Tech last week. The freshman quarterback is apparently “really challenging” the Wildcats’ defensive starters in practice by mimicking top Big 12 passers like Dillon Gabriel and Donovan Smith and throwing the ball “into really tight windows.”
“A guy that is really helping us right now is Adryan Lara on the scout team,” Kleiman said. “That kid spins it around really, really well.”
A reporter asked Klieman if Lara was still turning heads in practice this week. His answer was a resounding yes.
“He’s got unbelievable arm talent, throwing the ball from the hash to the opposite sideline,” Klieman said. “Granted, it’s scout team stuff and we are running cards, but he’s delivering the ball and he is putting it in tight windows. I am excited about him as a young player.”
K-State is set at quarterback for the foreseeable future with Nebraska transfer Adrian Martinez at the controls in his final year of college eligibility. Former starter Will Howard and four-star recruit Jake Rubley figure to compete for the QB1 spot next season, with Maize quarterback Avery Johnson also entering the picture as a freshman.”

See lots of tweets of players declaring for the portal. What position\players would be on our wish list?
Massive needs are WR, LB, OL, DL, CB, probably RB. Basically everything.
Really wish we had at least 1 returning WR that had any sort of production this year.
Green leaves a big hole at LB, luckily Austin Moore has been good this year and Purnell has filled in nicely.
Lose Duffie, Leveston, (maybe) beebe, and Gillum at OL
Lose Huggins and Hentz at DT, FAU and Pickle at DE

We'll have Giddens, Frias, and Freshman Joe Jackson at RB. Pretty thin.

Very depressing, but fair.See lots of tweets of players declaring for the portal. What position\players would be on our wish list?
Massive needs are WR, LB, OL, DL, CB, probably RB. Basically everything.
Really wish we had at least 1 returning WR that had any sort of production this year.
Green leaves a big hole at LB, luckily Austin Moore has been good this year and Purnell has filled in nicely.
Lose Duffie, Leveston, (maybe) beebe, and Gillum at OL
Lose Huggins and Hentz at DT, FAU and Pickle at DE

There are multiple guys, key guys who could come back for their senior or super senior year but we have no idea who. This represents an absolute worst case scenario, that likely won't happen. We've had super seniors return each of the last two years. If these guys really feel like they are going to compete for a championship next year, some of them very well may opt to delay going pro in something other than sports.

If you are WR looking for immediate playing time at a P5 for one year and see the returning roster at WR for KSU, the QB who will be throwing to you, and the hot piece of ass OC dialing up the plays, you basically beg for a scholly.
if you're the type of WR who HATES tight spirals fired out of a cannon then ksucatsu is not an attractive option, imo

Yeah, and that's how I feel, I was perusing the roster like a month ago and like KCFDcat I was fairly worried about being able to maintain success, but also to MiR your point probably a few guys will come back and fill enough holes to make the transition for lower class/transfers to come in and fill the rest of the gaps.
I think overall us being this competitive and with a known good commodity at QB at this point in Will makes us a team many will look at as a chance to go back to the Champ Game/an or repeat depending on this weekend. Regardless we'll be a top 3 Big 12 team I think come next year

TBH I can’t remember who gets another year or not, and didn’t spend the time to look them all up. I’m sure some of these guys will come back for a 5th/6th year. Regardless they’re gonna need to get some key guys from the portal. I expect that to be the norm for most schools. No doubt we’re gonna lose a few guys to the portal as well.

Really dumb question, but... if someone enters the portal solely to feel out NIL deals from other schools, wanting to put pressure on their current school to get more $$$, they can just get more money and stay with their current school if the staff would allow them, correct?
Yes. This is known as the “portal chortle”. The player gets his NIL and the last laugh.

Hopefully we build on the momentum. We didn’t really on either of the previous DocP’s, but with a bunch of young players being surprise big contributors and a good recruiting class coming in we have a chance to elevate into that next tier of teams.

It's going to be all about two things. 1) NIL, 2) How frequently you make the playoff.
Nil should be about 6th on that list. For all but a handful of programs there are less than 5 players on the roster making any nil money at all.

i’m really excited about this transfer, he’s going to be instant impact and fits in greathttps://twitter.com/spedbraet/status/1601996956150431744?s=46&t=Gh-9dB_Y8Ea0tqGFj3Z9-gGuessing the Iowa receiver? Supposed to be a stud, right?
Gonna want to get your dicks out for this one

He apparently had a bunch of "soft tissue" injury stuff last year, so I hope he is good now. If he's healthy he certainly should be awesome.

Really no incentive to portal out until after spring ball happens. If the staff ends that period with someone in front of him as the clear #2 then I think you will see him go if he’s going to.
Agreed,
Right now he's the heir apparent to Howard, no need for him to think about it unless Avery (or Lara) is the #2 after spring

I have no idea who we have at RB outside of Giddens and incoming Joe Jackson. Sounds like Joe just had surgery (not sure on what and how long healing will be). We probably need more RB depth.
We will get a high quality guy in the portal to pair with Giddens like we had in 2019 with Jordan Brown and the guy from Ball State. Anthony Frias is already on the roster for depth. Will have 4 scholarship RB’s and probably one walk on.

Our entire OL returns and we just added a 4 star WR and a power 5 RB that averaged over 6 YPC on a 10 win team. Oh and Phillip Brooks is returning and some guy with the last name Lockett is going to be a sophomore.
Didn't know Brooks is coming back, that's awesome. All of that is so, so, so nice. Ward is a very solid RB, won't have the moves like Deuce but man, we basically reloaded there, and having our entire OL back should mean some hella holes, I mean the team work is going to off the charts there.

I thought Lockett was going to be a redshirt Freshman.
He is. Also don’t forget RJ Garcia who came on strong to end the year and will be a SO, Jadon Jackson who transferred from Ole Miss last year, and Sinnott. If Howard can take another step forward the offense should be in great shape.
Defense is where the concern is for sure. Definitely need some players to step up.

While this is sort true, I think that OT vs TCU/goal line stand should give everyone some hope. Tons of guys on the field then were young/inexperienced and they did the damn thing. We tend to cycle a lot of defense, so while yes a worry, I wouldn't call it a total worry. We got some good LBs coming in, Savage will be back, Khalid is till here, and VJ looked pretty good filling in. The d-line (specifically assuming Felix is gone) is going to be my biggest overall worry.

I don’t think we have lost a projected member of the two deep yet which is pretty exciting.
You’re probably right, but I was kind of bummed when Krew Jackson transferred out. Good length and looked good in OSU garbage time. I thought he might crack the depth chart next season.

And he can't do what Sinnott does.I loved that chubby bastard. I’m curious what he’s referring to with the fullback position. I have no idea if we deploy one, are getting away from it or have someone better.

Yeah, it was very noticeable, especially on those weird ass 3rd and 4th and shorts we decided Deuce could just run through people to pick up.

Don’t think WR is a position of urgent need to finish the roster.
Also, why would we want a guy who played for a school that couldn't even win a championship?

Seems kind of high, but it’s concentrated because it’s the culmination of spring football and players now know where they stand on the depth chart. If most of those were players occupying the two deep, then that would be highly concerning. My guess is it is guys that occupy the spots behind the two deep and are looking for playing time elsewhere.

I know their seemingly best WR hit the portal after a big spring game. I'm not sure about the other guys but there's at least some leaving for reasons beyond playing time.
I'd imagine it's tough to play for Deion if that's not what you initially signed up for.

Well, he's the best wr, now, he wasn't a week ago.
He can just sign more transfers in the spring transfer window. I think they eased restrictions on the 25 per year.
They did ease that restriction. He didn't only lose those 18, he was still playing catch up from the winter departures too. They're absolutely not going to catch up this off season, he literally has to build half of a roster.
https://twitter.com/TheAthletic/status/1650738155627204610
I think they are going to score in the 30’s and 40’s regularly. Who knows if that will be enough with what they have on defense. Playing TCU in game 1 is going to suck for them.You get this from the two high profile offensive players he has? His offense averaged 37 ppg for a better than average FCS program. He currently has no line and no depth.

Yea Travis Hunter and Dylan Edwards give him elite speed and play making ability to go with his son at QB. They also got two 4 star transfer WR’s and signed two 4 star HS WR’s on top of that. Traore was one of the most sought after TE’s in the portal this year, he should be really good too. I’m not sure what you mean that he has no OL? All the guys he brought in from the portal are still on the roster.

They have almost 50 players to replace. That's an incredibly tough task, especially as a staff that largely has never done it at this level before.

Sorry, 70(!!!) players. I don't follow the portal at all, but I find it hard to believe they're going to be able to find 70 players that are better than the ones they lost. They'll be able to upgrade at a few positions, but they have to essentially teach an entirely new team how to play together.

Prime is so petty he won’t release film for players transferring out of the program, seems like he’s not going to let their profile linger on the website. Could be a backlog of 40 guys to scrub from the website though I guess.

Being down 20ish scholarship players is a pretty big number, but is also probably similar to what frontbutt charlie and other KU coaches faced during their series of rebuilds.
Post by: KCFDcat on April 26, 2023, 01:25:48 PM
In a separate interview, the Athletic's reporter said CU has lost about 70 scholarship players since Primetime took over. At this point, they've filled about 50 of those slots through transfers, incoming freshmen, etc. (again, according to the reporter). So, between now and the start of the season, they'd need to find about 20 scholarship players to get back to the max.

ok, so not as bad as I had thought. Still, in one offseason replacing 70 players is insane. Having 20 open slots going into May is a pretty daunting task.

I don't know jack crap about football, almost nothing. What I do know is that every good line in the history of ever has continuity. We'll see if the era of transfer portal changes this but putting together a line with all spare parts seems like a terrible idea. In addition to this, even if he puts together an all star starting lineup of offensive linemen, you have to acknowledge he's going to have a depth issue at the unit that's the most oft injured.
I want you to put a pin in this, because I'm as sure as their line being not just a small weakness but a huge one, as I was that Patrick Mahomes was going to be a great NFL pro when I saw him at BSFS in 2016.

I get this is a minority opinion, but I think if Sanders sticks around, he will improve Colorado within a few years. I'd be excited if I were a Colorado fan; I mean they have very little to lose. . . Colorado football has had exactly one winning season in the last 16 years* and are coming off a 1-11 record last year.

Obviously, I'm not down with Sanders or what he's doing but I do agree with you. This was a home run hire for them when it would have been a disaster at most P5 schools. This is a low risk, high reward hire for them.

Honestly our starting center was nearly unplayable. Leingang was the only reserve that the coaches trusted once Panzer was inserted for Portier. If we hadn’t convinced 2 super seniors and a likely 2nd round draft pick to come back, our line would be in shambles for 2023. I think the three 2022 guys they signed will be good eventually but they would have gotten murdered last year.

Yeah, probably wouldn't have been great, despite some of the young guys having good pedigree and some experience in the program, which is executive why Colorado's line is going to be a rough ridin' disaster with there spare parts learning the system and each other on the fly.

Del Forge played in 14 games and a freshman played over him at RG. No way CU has a worse OL than KU did last year and they averaged 35 a game. Having a crap ton of offensive weapons can overcome mediocre line play. They will use their playmakers in space and utilize Sanders running ability to help out the OL.
KU's OL is better than you're giving it credit for, tbh.

Del Forge played in 14 games and a freshman played over him at RG. No way CU has a worse OL than KU did last year and they averaged 35 a game. Having a crap ton of offensive weapons can overcome mediocre line play. They will use their playmakers in space and utilize Sanders running ability to help out the OL.

Yeah agreed, KU put together a pretty nice line last year.

They had one player who graded out in the top 150 in PFF’s OL Power Rankings for 2022. CU’s 2022 squad that went 1-11 had two.

I get this is a minority opinion, but I think if Sanders sticks around, he will improve Colorado within a few years. I'd be excited if I were a Colorado fan; I mean they have very little to lose. . . Colorado football has had exactly one winning season in the last 16 years* and are coming off a 1-11 record last year. They'll probably have some depth issues and whole lot of losses this year, but it will likely be an improvement
*did not count 6 game covid season
This is the sticking point for me. I don't think he'll ever have major success there, because if he shows serious improvement in even 2 years, I think a Florida school or SEC team throws absurd money at him knowing he could completely flip a roster and change a culture quickly. He's bitched non stop about the weather in Boulder since getting there.
Also, they completely removed the 25 man scholarship per year rule due to Covid. And I know it'll never be back to that number with the immediate transfer rules now, but has there been any mention of going back to anything like that? or gone forever?

Yeah, maybe if Leipold can get KU to a bowl game in 2 years, then Deion can, too. He's probably going to have to figure out a way to ease up his nonconferece schedule to make that happen, though. There aren't enough good players in the portal to make any sort of immediate success happen.

Last year we lost 3 to P5 teams. I'm expecting we're at 4 this year. Overall numbers may indicate missing on an initial evaluation or development as much as losing talent.
Also as your talent level rises, ideally more of your transfers go to better programs and it doesn't kill you. Will leaving with Avery ready to take over is a great example

That's exactly how the portal is supposed to work. Guys that that risked getting buried on the depth chart portaled out, guys who thought they'd get a nice role at a competitive program portaled in. It really should be the expectation. That the "out" column would be made up mostly of guys who aren't going to excel in another P4 program. Howard could be an exception.

Rumblings an SEC program is willing to compensate him handsomely to try to boost their defense for a year.

Didn't Kieman praise RJ Garcia during the '22 season? IIRC, he said he was very impressive and would be a contributor as a freshman. Don't know why he would want to leave when we got the top QB of the CK era. Most receivers' top priority is to play on a team with a skilled and accurate QB.

You said it yourself, pappy. Other than the rare instances where a kid has an actual falling out with the staff or gets promised cash and playing time at a premier school, these are all the result of guys coming to the conclusion that they’re not going to play as much as they were hoping when they came in (whether or not they were outright told that by the coaches).Great kid that got surpassed by a true freshman.

I just think he has the opportunity and support from CK and I don't see him as anything other than a first-group receiver.

I can't think of very many cases, of any, of a player entering the portal but continuing to practice with their current team. I guess it depends on the timing of said player entering and subsequently exiting the portal. If Savage decided to come back, within the next couple of days, I'm sure he'll play in the bowl.Utah’s pig farmer QB is doing it this year, but that’s the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

He was once an Ichabod but now, Kellen Simoncic is a Kansas State Wildcat.
The veteran college quarterback announced his commitment to K-State via social media Wednesday afternoon. On3’s Derek Young reports the former Ichabod will be a walk-on.
Simoncic comes to K-State after fives years with Washburn, playing in each of the last three.

I think Lara will have to drop down to FCS. He has zero film to show teams outside of his high school highlights from 3 years ago. Rubely at least sniffed the field and he is going to Illinois State.

Team can say no. That is the other side of the portal sword. Many kids have entered, and their spot was backfilled. They couldn't go back to former team and didn't have a good landing spot somewhere else. It's the topic of the portal that isn't talked about much.

not sure what's going on in this specific instance but in some locker rooms I've been in they will have names of the "greats" who used that same locker. the parenthesis around greats is doing a lot of work there obviously if that were the case here. also obviously it's more theoretically "used that same locker" as there is always change in location and construction and whatever with locker rooms.

Ryan Day's TOSU has more 5 stars this year than the rest of the conference and more than the Big XII, ACC, or SEC. Also more than Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and OU put together. These fuckers aren't rough ridin' around and are tired of UM beating their ass. They have the largest AD budget in the NCAA.Also, they spent over 13 million on NIL this year. We can assume Will is getting paid a king's ransom. :love:

Last odds I saw were 12-1.

Is that Will for Heisman or TOSU wins the CFP. Maybe both?

That would be great. Do we take partial credit for it?
