great day for gpc recruiting tardism

[steve dave]

The ability to discuss recruiting on that board died years ago.  None of what's posted anymore in that regard really makes much sense.

There are a couple of guys who can find some random stuff on Google who I track, but overall, some of those guys are really out there.

there is definitely good information that comes out on that board.  it's just the discussion/board consensus that is funny.  not just overly optimistic, funnier than that.

like the alvarez-butler comparo.  i don't see how a rational human could deny that there are parallels between the two, and that kstatefan love/hate of either is a completely partisian exercise.  not acknowledging that isn't drinking kool-aid, it's something else.  something more Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

I love Art and Brian equally (now that we have Arthur and Chris)

another point against the gpc poster.  poor ability to adapt to a changing landscape.

[weird roberts foam finger]

Why would anyone hate Butler now anyway?  We've got two of the big three by now and may get the third if Dooley blows it.  Seems kind of stupid to me.

  <-- Me and Butler, toasting KSU's transfer success.


Edit:  Sys quicker than me on that talking point.  Curses.

There is no difference at all.  Alvarez is funneling kids to Kansas State under the appearance of objectivity.

It makes him look good because he can say, "Look at all these kids I'm helping get to D1".  It helps Martin by promoting the notion that he's connected to South Florida and Kansas State is the preeminent destination for Latin American talent.

It's a symbiotic relationship.  They may be friends, but they're both getting something out of this.  There's nothing really altruistic about what Alvarez is doing.

Most of them are just complete unadulterated dumbasses.

Exhibit A.

Are you being serious? Do you realize how asenine it is to expect Dalonte to convince every kid from his AAU team half way across the USA to commit to a school in KS many of them had never heard of pre-Mike Beasley? I'm sure NONE of these kids have extenuating circumstances (kids, family obligations, close ties with OTHER coaches) that would ever sway them away from Dalonte... sheesh. Jeez Dalonte, comon man, you've only brought in 2 FIVE STAR (including the most talented player ever to put on a KSU jersey), 2 four star, and numerous 3 star players (including JamSam) in 3 years. Weak sauce.

Exhibit B.

This is the most Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) thread ever. Who really gives a S*** about how many stars a kid has or who gets him to manhattan. We have great athletes who play hard, what more do you want?

It's hard for the Exhibit B guy to fit this in with the WRSOAT "Coach 'em up!" strategy going on over at BSFS.

Southwell and Spradling may not be ranked highly, but both guys are going to be good players for K-State down the road.  Similar to Royce Woolridge at KU.

I'll have to double check my notes, but I'm pretty sure I have Royce listed as a "garbage" player.

Let me guess... you've never seen Woolridge play a game before in your life, and you're basing your opinion solely on the fact that he's not a 4-star recruit.  You are slowly devolving into your own form of Bookcat, Rusty, which is pretty sad.  You used to be somewhat reasonable when it came to discussing KU.

Nothing wrong with Exhibit A in of itself.  If it's in the context of "don't criticize Dalonte Hill" then, yeah it's stupid.

No justification for B.  100% horrible in any context.

You've been using this talking point, for like 2 years, jackass.

In his defense, he did say "slowly".

How many "Jack Harry" sig's will they get?

[114Hickory]

Is the comic book queer leading the charge?

Which one is that?  Seems like that fits quite a few. 

You're right in that fits the description for about 100 of them. But I was referring to bclaymoore.

Oh man, he's one of my favorites.  He's kind of the young Oldefella....always laboring to be a "voice of reason."

Yeah.  Trying to be the "voice of reason" is pretty dumb.  I know, b/c I used to try to do just that.  Probably still do sometimes.  Still dumb.

Reasonable assessment.
