Still, this is interesting:

yeah. i think snyder has always been pretty strategic with where to recruit. back then we had some ins in south florida and there weren't top 25ish programs like south florida and central florida to compete with. there were 3 fbs football school in florida in 1993. now there are 7. also, eff you guys for making it appear like i'm defending our current recruiting.

I thought it was more interesting that he was trying to recruit top talent but failing. It looks like our 1997 class was really good but all the articles are paywalled:

I believe you're right.  This was a talking point at work a couple years ago, when we recuited Zimms.  I remembered this wrong and didn't QFT.  Here's his high school profile:

HIGH SCHOOL: A four-year letterwinner at quarterback and defensive back for the Blue Jays under head coach and father Randall Zimmerman... Was 144-of-221 for 1,920 yards and 25 touchdowns as a senior in 2008, while rushing 133 times for 1,046 yards and 18 scores... Led the Blue Jays to a 13-0 record and the 2008 Kansas 6A State Championship... Scored all three of the Blue Jays' touchdowns in the state championship... Named to the Wichita Eagle Kansas Top 11 team... Named first team all-state in 2007 and 2008, as well as a honorable mention in 2006... Also lettered two years in basketball and baseball.

Article about Nebraska recruiting in the 90s.  K-State doesn't show up in any of his research.  OU, UT, CU, A&M & NU were pretty well mainstays in the rankings throughout the decade.  Baylor even makes an appearance.

Another article about 90's recruiting.  K-State specifically mentioned as a team with great on field success and very little recruiting success.
