My best friend works at KSU athletics and sent me an email about how the Orris recruitment went down (this is privy stuff, so please don't spread it around too much):

Josh Gray: "Hey coach, Josh Gray wants to play for KSU. Best fans I've ever had, they love me on Twitter! Where's my offer???!!?"
BW: crap, our roster is full and I REALLY don't want to run someone off. It's so mean and unruly. I know! I'll ignore the situation!
JG: (two weeks later)...coach??....
BW: ....
JG: eff it, I'm going to Texas Tech.
BW: Whew! Glad that's over. Oh, hey! Another message on my Blackberry Curve!
Michael Orris: "Hey coach, I still really want to play for you. When Illinois paid you $4,000,000 to buy out your contract because you're such a terrible coach/recruiter, that didn't deter me...or K-State's John Currie apparently. Anyway, I've been released by IU and need a place to play next year. I know I'm not nearly as good as Josh Gray, who's a top 150 recruit, but I'm loyal and you promised to coach me."
BW: (mouth full of frozen chicken nuggets) Well, he does make a point...Welcome to the team, Michael!
