Did not know his dad played for Snyder. That's a very good sign.

I'm not very confident after hearing he lives next door to TCU.

Yeah, I mean, this dudes last visit was to K-state, his dad played for Snyder, he's RT'ing K-state football players and their decisions, and he just tweeted out a pic of himself in a K-State jacket the day before signing day. I wouldn't be feeling too confident either.  :Ugh:

I saw all the pages added to this thread since yesterday and thought maybe we'd added another stud. You'd think I'd learn.

You know, I really appreciate how when the competition got a little tough K-State backed off a little.

Highest-rated Rivals players I could find from 1998 to 2001. The first two seemed to pan out.

#12 Ell Roberson (1999)
#39 Josh Buhl (1999)
#60 Chris Boggas (2000)
#63 Bobby Walker (1999)
#84 Ayo Saba (2001)
#93 Jerome Janet (2001)

Before 1998, you have to start cobbling together Tom Lemming's ratings and USA Today HS football player ratings to get a national picture... which I'm not going to do.

I lied, I kept looking into this. First thing I remembered was fans used to complain Juco studs weren't ranked by some services before Rivals.  Lemming, USA Today and Superprep were the big players before Rivals.

Our top-rated HS recruits in 1997 were Eric Gooden and Julius McMillan (top 100 players). Both totally washed out.

Our top-rated HS recruit in 1996 was Jonathan Beasley (top 100). Bishop was probably up there too, but ranked as a Juco, so I can't be sure.

So from 1996 to 2001 we had nine top-100 recruits. Here's how I'd rate their careers at KSU.
Roberson *****(5)
Buhl *****(5)
Beasley ****(4.5)
Walker ****(4.5)
Saba **(2)
Boggas (0)
Janet (0)
Gooden (0)
McMillan (0)

I'd guess this is pretty average. But it seems we've always lived off the 3-star players (and underranked Juco studs).

In 1995 we were still a building program. I didn't see any top 100 recruits in 1995, but our top-rated HS recruits in 1995 were Larry Holmes (QB, who?), Turelle Williams, Darren Howard, Pat Curry (who are these guys?), Lin Dotson, and Martez Wesley. Our top Juco recruits were Cody Lee Smith, Thad Swazer, Naeen Mills, Eric Janeau, and Jabbar Williams. (Silver Lining: Thank god our QB recruits in this class didn't work out since it led us to recruit Bishop the next year!)

Oh man, I'd forgotten about Julius McMillan. He was a parade all american who spent his short time in Manhattan carrying a clarinet case around campus and not making it onto the field.

Turelle Williams was a good linebacker early on, until he blew out his knee.  After that he was behind Simoneau ,Ben Leber and Terry Pierce if my memory is correct.

The more I think about this the more it rough ridin' pisses me off. I mean really, we laugh about the WRSOAT and all but this is just rough ridin' ridiculous. We constantly get our assess kicked on the recruiting trail for high threes and four star guys and this perfectly explains why. Our dipshit fanbase is so sold on Snyder's talking point about wasting effort during Part 1 that they are completely blind or totally ambivalent to our pathetic approach to securing talented recruits. How the eff somebody can subscribe to the 16 goals, deliver this kind of performance and still get paid is beyond me. Holy eff, there were two articles in the last two days on Bleacher Report and ESPN about recruiting tactics these days and this is what we get.  Golly jee though we sure do have guys that want to be here and work hard.  :Carl:

If somebody is interested in our school why the eff don't we blow sunshine up their ass about our school, all the shiny new things we have, the opportunity to play right away (especially at DT as recent history would show), and any other fuzzy rough ridin' math that makes our program and community look better than anything else out there? And then why don't we keep doing this crap until they sign on the line. eff!

You can only polish a pile of crap so much, and at the end of the day it's still crap. K-State football: Snyder 2.0.

No matter how much they get "coached up," we'll never get to that next level of excellence in college football because of our coaching/recruiting, at the end of the day you HAVE to have the talent and athletes.

And it pisses me off to no-end that we have fans that are okay with the decent 10+ win seasons every few years and nothing more.
