So if I am following everything correctly, if this coaching staff pulls off a major miracle (for them) this weekend, we're actually looking at a pretty decent class??

Pretty much. It's a classic "Hail Mary" play with a couple of placements sprinkled in there to boot.

It makes me feel a little bit better to know that we are attempting to fill our needs, not just going after the highest rated recruits that are interested in us. KU may have signed 2 four star recruits, but they are both RBs. Signing 2 four star RBs is not going to make your defense any faster, not to mention that they already have a good RB in Sims.

Not to say that I wouldn't take a couple 4 star runningbacks even with bryce brown on the team.

It's a Hail Mary, except where all the receivers have really terrible hands and zero leaping ability.

On one side of the coin, I'm all excited right now about all these amazing recruits we brought in this weekend and then on the other side of the coin there's WRSOAT.

You stockpile four star athletes and make them change positions after they don't beat out the better back.

It's just going to convince shirt tucks that everything is okay if they pull this off.

It will be a bittersweet victory.

Travis Green, JUCO placement from Omaha. Meh. If he turns out to be good he'll probably go elsewhere?

Green was recruited to K-State by Del Miller.

Better yet. Del's on the board guys!

"Good news coming" always works the tards into a frenzy. Especially considering they haven't figured out that "good news" includes 2

and 0

chumps.

Hellz yeah!!!!!!!

GREEN!

Carl Miller now. DT from St. Louis. Another sign and place. Snyder always does this on the last weekend before signing day. All sign and places visit. BORING!

Damn, serve me up a hot Carl!

Welcome to the purple train, big fella!!!!!

He committed only 2 weeks ago to T-Tech. Why would he de-commit and join us? Plus, I saw he was at Butler CC .. our relationship with them has been "poor."

Hope you are right. Just wondering why the optimism? Thanks

Nice ... also if Jade Cathey is greyshirting ... then that might mean we either oversigned or are about to oversign. Since we are under 25 right now, perhaps that means we expect to sign quite a few more, and need to greyshirt

remember when earlier complete effing retards were all "he's not even the full time starter!" and I was all "I wish you were dead!".....game, set, check-mate steve dave

I am to the point now, that I'll be angry if he isn't the starter day 1. If Snyds is really "building," then rough ridin' build.
