Kansas State Football / Money spent on football recruiting

« on: December 31, 2020, 03:18:59 PM »

why does KSU spend HALF as much as KU and ISU spend on recruiting? we would literally need to double our spending to be comparative with 2 schools i would expect us to beat in recruiting.

Kansas State Football / safety position going into the season

« on: December 05, 2020, 08:56:51 AM »

im trying to figure out how the coaches thought our personnel for the safety position was adequate going into the season and didn't pursue transfer or juco options. there's no reason to believe they thought any of the young safeties were going to be adequate because none of them were experimented with early in the season. Even if they thought Wayne Jones was going to develop a lot more than he did thats a lot to risk on 1 player. Most coaches not only want a dependable starter but they want at least 1 backup that isnt a big step down from the starter. not only did KSU go into the season without an adequate starter but they didn't have anything on the depth chart either. how big of a miscalculation or misevaluation did our coaches do this year ? I like the coaching staff, i think there are some weak pieces, but i am not impressed from the outside at their urgency to create high quality depth at every position. are they aggressively seeking transfers but getting turned away?

Kansas State Football / dual threat QBs

« on: November 22, 2020, 08:19:36 AM »

Used to be KSU always had one of the better elusive QBs in the league
Now we have had one of the least elusive QBs in the league for several years
With Howard Im damn sure he is the least elusive QB in the B12
With our recruiting being so pathetic how can Klieman not prioritize an elusive QB? We need our QB to be dynamic with his legs because we will always have trouble protecting him
At NDSU they could protect the QB because they had superior lines to all their opponents
is this something that Klieman overlooked going from being the big boy school to the little sister school?

Kansas State Football / so which positions on defense are down a number of players?

« on: November 19, 2020, 02:56:57 PM »

Klanderman said its similar to the OU game when they were missing a number of DBs. anyone hear who is not making the trip to Ames? sounds like a significant number

Kansas State Football / positive covid tests

« on: October 26, 2020, 03:08:31 PM »

does the B12 use follow up PCR tests to confirm initial positives before quarantining all the contacts? i have not heard about false positives at KSU
it sounds like the B10 is having false positives after just week 1
is that because B12 doesn't confirm initial positive tests or we just haven't got any info out to the public?

Kansas State Football / the stupidity of ksu

« on: June 25, 2020, 09:17:38 AM »

someone please educate me on how our esteemed university and athletic leaders with months of preparation behind them constructed a medical protocol that allowed returning football players out of their initial quarantine without getting a negative coronavirus test result back FIRST!!!
gene is blaming the players but the problem is the protocol. why is he not taking any blame? why are they threatening the players
they could have had an offseason workout program if they would have let just about any person in america design a protocol to get released from quarantine.
its laughable
for some reason i was worried that we would screw this up and sure enough it seems almost impossible to screw up but we did.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / is this freshman class going to stink long term?

« on: February 25, 2020, 07:50:15 PM »

sorry but i don't see that much with any of the freshmen at the end of year 1. its pretty obvious now why dajuan gordon wasn't recruited much by P5 schools.
the entire group is tweeners in every way. typical KSU recruits.
not really good at any particular skill.
especially shooting
this next class better hit or Weber is going to be in trouble in a couple years

Kansas State Football / attendance

« on: November 17, 2019, 08:26:20 AM »

very disappointed with attendance yesterday. were in 3rd section from end and still half the section was empty. entire corner of end zone was almost empty.
the team has not been terrible even when they aren't winning championships. the athletic dept has significantly discounted tickets.
what is going on?
the weather was fine. i understand if we had a 80000 seat stadium. there are only a few times a year to see a game.

Kansas State Football / injuries

he hasn't made a lot of catches but the ones he has were important

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / recruiting

« on: January 24, 2019, 08:37:46 AM »

So OU bball has some of the shittiest attendance i've ever seen even when they have a decent team. other than the year Hield was a senior they haven't been all that good. How does Lon Kruger continue to sign a bunch of studs almost every year? i don't get it.
kruger is a little bit of a name around here for obvious reasons but outside of KS i don't think kids really know who he is. does he have some assistants who have pipelines to kids thru relationships?
i dont understand with the tradition and better atmosphere why Weber shouldn't be out recruiting Kruger

Kansas State Football / best high school coach from a talent rich area?

« on: December 07, 2018, 04:14:55 PM »

i think i'd rather take a leap like Baylor did with Briles before i accept Kliemann.
make him keep some our staff to help him get going but the coach will be the pipeline to recruits.
Find our Tony Hull but better.
TX, MS, LA, STL, then hire a high school coach from wichita as assistant to help grab Wichita kids we lost to OU right now.
you could probably piece together some key recruiting pieces to add to our current staff and make it better than it is now
