When I first read this thread title I thought you were referring to oscar as "The chicken nuggets". Would make a great nickname IMO.
Um................WTF was Colorado doing with their basketball court in 1993??? Is that a giant tomato splatter?
Oh and it looks like they have the octagon thingy that we have now. (Though theirs is out of necessity.)
Even with the benefit of hindsight I have absolutely zero issues with the hiring of Ron Prince, and I'm glad we gave it a shot.
Wait, I thought I was on the "edgy" board that hates OBz?
Plus, how could anyone Currie might hire to replace Snyder possibly be a bigger joke than Ron Prince?

i don't think I'm too far off when I say thatoscar'sFrank's "resurgence" in recruiting was strictly due toJerrance HowardDalonte Hill. W/outhowardDalonte,oscar'sFrank's recruiting was terrible.
Weber may be terrible. He may not get the same results from average talent that Frank got. Frank's signature. But, let's call a spade a spade. Frank's recruiting was not on par with a top 25-35 program without Dalonte. Frank landed Robert Upshaw. The single remarkable recruiting achievement in the post-dalonte era.
Other notables: Gipson (3* #147), Diaz (3* 148), Rodriguez (3* NR).
Moral of the story, coaches need recruiters on staff. Frank didn't have one at the end. Weber had better have one or his time here will be short. Pretty simple.
Frank did at the end and always has (obvious exceptions are the spring recruits) gotten players that fit what he wants for his program and just didn't collect stars. I thought rusty did a beautiful job of conveying this, did you read it? Dax liked to call them right fitters, whatever but oscar Weber at Illinois is the perfect example that fit is very important.
Ah, the "stars don't matter" argument. Badge worn proudly by tucks all across Kansas.
MYSTRANS!!!
Lost in all of this is who is getting oscar'd. Only one scholarship to give and Moose is signed to an LOI.
Jamar and Vic are gone. And Upshaw and Moose aren't coming. so, there's 2 ships. Watson and Omari shouldn't be apartment shopping either.
Vic wasn't on an athletic scholarship, was he?
I thought there was only Jamar's to give, which was planned for Upshaw. Somebody was going to have to get Franked for Moose. Since Upshaw clearly isn't coming anymore, that currently goes to Moose, who signed an LOI.
Odds are Moose will get released from his LOI, which leaves one to give. Hopefully they don't have to fill Angel's scholly.
By Chingon's parameters there are very few, and even those that have seemingly had success haven't been at their current jobs long enough to see if that success is fleeting. Sutton, Smith and now BCG getting fired from Kentucky are the best candidates for success but Smith is waning now at Minn, Sutton i think was fired more for the sanctions than performance, and BCG has a hard row to hoe at TTU.
The jury is still out on Lavin and Gottfried.
It is hard to find examples because the number of guys hired at major schools after being fired from one is so small. Of course this isn't news to anyone reading this thread.
I find it humorous, in a way, because people are claiming that Weber is a "safe" hire. Well, it doesn't seem like too many major schools in the last 20 years or so have felt the idea was very safe.
I hope it works out. I'm not against oscar. I'm not going to root for him to fail.
If I had to guess, JC is crazy right wing religious and probably doesn't drink but probably does fap to weird porn all the time at home.
This....I knew a guy that worked for Cox when way back when. He had interesting stories regarding the Wefald account.
At first I was like STOP WITHHOLDING DETAILS PEOPLE and then I realized I don't really want to know.
Seriously, though, I don't know what Cox has to offer, but I kind of doubt their adult selection is all that weird.
Now it all makes sense to me. Currie hires a coach. Thus, his job is done. Whether that coach is any good or not, is completely on that coach.
If you land a crap load of highly rated players and can't make the tournament with them, you did a poor job recruiting.
Or, they were inexperienced freshmen. If we had a team full of Angel's we wouldn't have been in the tourney.

*Note: Doug Gottlieb has never been fired. Also he hasn't had success after being fired. But he would have had success if K-State had hired him.
