Kansas State Football / Re: Football Recruiting Thread
« on: July 07, 2022, 01:10:20 PM »
Yea, just cause Klein was a battering ram QB doesn’t mean that’s what his offense will be. Our last 2 QB recruits are PM15 style QBs and we’ve been super heavy on offensive skill position players with versatility. I’d be shocked if we’re not getting stylist comparisons to the Chiefs offense in a few years.

I think it's shaping up that way as well.  Avery throws very well on the run so I expect him to get out of the pocket and take rushing yards to the sideline when it's there, much like PM15 does. Collin was running qb draws right up the middle and I doubt we see that at all with Avery.

Is Dylan calling Lane out? Lol

Not sure, but if you go look at Ja'Kobi's twitter likes, he's still 100% into the Cats and only liking K-State related posts.

Another vote for the cats.  Edwards now 63% from 53% yesterday.

Now up to 70%. 

Are these changes noteworthy or interesting to you guys?  I setup an automated monitor that alerts me when the numbers change on these KS recruits and I'm happy to post the updates, but let me know if it gets old.
Anything new?
I haven’t gotten any alerts lately so I’m guessing something happened with the monitor I setup.  I’ll try to look into it when I get back home tomorrow.

he should be quiet and let others have their moment.

Hopefully that's the reason he decided to remove the post.  If so, he'll probably handle it differently in the future.

The picture above of Dylan's tweet is so large that it's easy to miss my text.  For the sake of clarity, Dylan deleted that tweet within the last couple hours.

We already know it's happening, but Crabtree made his predicto a few hours ago.

It will be interesting to see if the whole sec and big10 only championship thing plays out. They’ll turn off and alienate a decent amount of fans in general if they do. Like, if my school has an absolute zero percent chance at competing for something, I’m not really interested in it. Iowa state fans are nuts about mens wrestling for gods sake because they have a wrestling team. Kstate doesn’t so zero kstate fans care about it. If you take three conferences and completely cut them out, you’re long term losing a lot of those fans and ultimately eyeballs becasue they’ll be interested in whatever the eff it is that they are doing. They won’t just magically say “sec and big is better so I’ll totally watch them”.

They aren't far from doing that now.  I'm so desperate for football that I watch USFL games, but I have no interest in watching the the CFB playoff unless there's a NuB12 team or some other underdog.  As soon as Cincy was out last year I didn't watch another minute. 

The NFL works well because of parity and keeping everyone engaged which is one reason why their TV ratings keep going up and CFB keeps going down.  From Forbes:

KEY BACKGROUND
College football pales in comparison to the NFL in terms of viewership, a gap worsened by the pandemic. CBS and Fox averaged 21.6 million and 23.1 million viewers, respectively, for their primary national NFL broadcasts during the 2021 regular seasons, while NFL viewership overall was at its highest level since 2015, up 10% from 2020, per Sports Business Journal. Television ratings for professional sports struggled during 2020 and early 2021, but have recovered strongly. College football has struggled more than the NFL in regaining viewership, potentially due to the fallout from a pandemic-altered 2020 season and more gambling interest in the NFL.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Whether the College Football Playoff changes its four-team format. College Football Playoff leadership met Monday to discuss expanding the field to eight or 12 teams, though an agreement was not reached.

If Washington and Oregon aren't already lined up for the big 10, it's time to give them a call.

Bowlsby might not be around and Yormark hasn't started but maybe there's a receptionist or an intern who could call for us?   :Wha:

This is why we should have waited before adding the teams we did recently, whoever they are.

I agree with you that the scraps of the Pac12 are probably better than what we added, but it looks like the added stability might end up saving the cats so it's hard to complain.

Awesome on Johnson

While I admit I would probably be  :blank: about the Fabris commit at this time of year, in many other years. But I just don't get the ranting by some in other forums. His dad is a good football coach, which I know doesn't make the kid a good football player, but many many times from my observation coaches kids turn out to be solid contributors or better.  There's nothing wrong with taking him now IMO.

You should watch his tape I linked above.  I know everybody looks good in their tape, but there's a lot of it there. He seems to love smashing people, takes good angles, and reads the offense well.  The coaching staff has been great at identifying talent before other schools figure it out and I won't be surprised if they got this one right as well.

71
Second team all conference I’ve never heard of

Second team all academic.

He was second team all-conference, as well as all-academic so we've got that going for us.

72
Probably time to move past the hopes that this staff had 4 & 5 star dudes in their back pockets.  It's obvious we're in for a longer rebuild which isn't always a bad thing.

This is still a big pickup and I predict that we'll love Tykei by the end of the season.

PWO would be great, but I haven't seen anything.  The KSO article didn't mention it.
