It's not just population density, it's being located in Texas.  Additionally, GP has built a network there over 20 years as a head coach.  Kleiman can close some ground there but it's a lot to expect after year one.  I would imagine COVID probably benefits in-state schools as well, but I'm just guessing there.
i get it. i've seen it done here before in the 90s with a very young assistant coaching staff. i understand recruiting is a lot of relationships and networks. that just means we better hire people with a lot of those.
nebraska has a couple young assistants who are getting some of the best recruits from georgia and florida. they had ties there but nebraska was smart to hire them. i'm not sure what strong ties our assistants have? we seem to have a couple that are old and dont necessarily attract young recruits and then a couple more who dont seem to have strong ties to anywhere.

It was an entirely different landscape in the 90's, and snyder was ahead of the curve compared to the rest of college football. College football caught up and we lost our edge. Snyder then failed to take advantage of those gains K-State made.

He didn't like losing 4 & 5 star recruits, so he quit in 2005.  Came back in '09 and made it public that he wasn't going to pursue recruits that didn't buy in.  In other words, he was tried of chasing after top recruits that had lots of offers.  Of course, this lead to failure once more.

Weird definition of failure.

His last year the team was two games below .500, and were absolutely going to be worse. He had a transfer issue and the draft streak ended. After the prince recruits, draft streak, and legacies left (and we started to miss out on plenty of legacies too) the program from 2013-2018 was a slow bleed out.

TCU has now added two 5-star transfers and another 4-star Transfer WR from nebraska who would have been their all time leading WR in program history. all with one of the smallest fanbases in the country and a run first QB

Hope so. his high school coaches comments were kinda concerning. his coach said he would be a great program type kid who will be a great culture fit.
those type of statements are usually reserved for walk ons

He is the Ronald Triplette to the two actual stud prospects we want out of Hays High School.

so i thought i saw a moderator thread on one of the paid sites that referenced Gavin Myers low perception of ksu. i didn't have access but my perception is he likes nebraska a lot more than ksu. i think we're out for their biggest stud

another one that no other FBS school saw the potential in. Its a race between KU and KSU for which P5 school can sign the most recruits with no P5 offers.
what is it about the state of kansas that makes FBS recruits run away?

what does "sped" mean in "spedbraet"? I don't get it and I feel like I'm missing something obvious

i hope he is good. but the facts are we whiffed on all our top guys and only went to these KS kids afterwards. we haven't won a recruit against a legit program in a long time now
