this should surprise no one. we've heard zero from him since his commitment flip to us. convert ertz into the next klein and move on.

(a) sharp came on a visit in early december with elijah lee and really liked it, from what i can remember
(b) ertz will never be klein. ever. have you even seen his film?

we lose waters and cook next year. that leaves us with sams, ertz and hubener. if sharp flips, our qb depth is mumped.

didn't know that about sharp, trey. otherwise, meh. we'll figure it out.

I'd probably find somewhere else to play, too, if I were a dual threat QB who had just watched this season of K-State football.

I'm already assuming the press is being put back on AJ Bush, but i also wonder if we renew any interest in Jeremy Jones out of San Antonio. He's a 3* DT QB that has been committed to Rice for quite awhile, but whose OC just left for KU.

Crystal ball has Sharp flipping, this is the official sucks balls part of recruiting when our seemingly awesome class starts to fall apart!

The recruiting thread should just be renamed Groundhog Day.

meh. stinks to lose him. but we'll get some juco kid next year and be fine.

At least we still have Derricott, guys.

business as usual for the WRSOAT

To be honest, this is a crap move on Sharp's part. Late January flips for kids committed this long speak poorly about a kid.

Dodged a bullet with this youngster. Big time character issues.

Man please stop being such a tuck, this kid doesn't owe any school anything. He is making a decision that could at best impact his life for the next three years, to us he's just another recruit. He or anyone else flipling doesn't mean crap other than he and whomever is helping him with his decision are doing what they feel is best for him. He's a senior in high school he should feel no burden to do a septuagenarian any favors with his biggest life decision to date.

My biggest complaint is committing and opening it up a few weeks before the deadline. If you wanted to keep taking visits, fine. Don't commit. Or open it up back in November.

I don't care that he's decommitting. I care about the timing.

It's not on the kid. UCLA just came a knocking!

I agree with what you're saying but the kid does need to learn the value that a person's word can have in life. If he wasn't truly committed to Utah or KSU, he should never have given his verbal.

Jfc, guys. People de-commit all the time from all kinds of schools for all kinds of reasons. Get over it. They're 17/18 year olds.

michigancat · « **Reply #13843 on:** January 12, 2014, 11:33:02 PM »

Maybe we should have recruited him better

Not sure that would have made a difference. I mean, UCLA.

'taterblast · « **Reply #13847 on:** January 12, 2014, 11:38:19 PM »

being committed for 7 months and flipping in january sucks. kid can do whatever he wants but i can also think it's a shitty thing to do.

Which is the better strategy?:

a) Recruit multiple quarterbacks, make no promises
or...
b) Recruit one quarterback, let him know he is the one and only QB for this class?

I guess you have to make promises to get some guys to commit.
