I would think for the true #BIDer, recruiting has to be the toughest thing. Clearly, oscar needs to recruit well enough that his replacement inherits a decent amount of talent. But on the other hand, if he lands too many good players its likely that will extend his stay.
I suppose the thought that another school would come after oscar could come into play, but I'd say there are 2 likely scenarios for oscar at K-State; get fired from here (after 3-4 more middling years) or retire from here (after 10-15 more good seasons). I don't see oscar leaving K-State if he has success (success = 80% NCAAs, Sweet 16 at least once every 5-6 years).
