Crazy is not all bad

but sucky is

He listed at 6' flat... and he also bench press a ton leading to the logic that he has short arms(bad reach). I have never been a fan of Harvill.

Never seen him play. Always assumed he wouldn't be good.

This didn't get enough love IMO.

He posted it last year about this time when we were discussing nicknames for our new recruits.

Could still use more love though, imo.

I know short arms are bad for an oline guy but are they bad for a DT?  Seems like we've had some pretty DTs that were about 6 foot.  Tank Reese comes to mind.  I've always actually kinda like that 6 foot, 300 lb types.  (I'm in no way saying Harvill is any good though.)

No matter how you cut it, Snyder's unconventional moneyball approach is pretty remarkable.

As the numbers indicate stars absolutely do matter for the vast majority of college football's top programs, and it's going to be interesting to see if Snyder can sustain the same level of success without a high profile, impact player like a 5 star Arthur Brown leading the defense and a 4 star Chris Harper who led the offense alongside Klein.

Quote
"Keep Calm and Snyder On"

That might as well be K-State's official recruiting philosophy. I broke down the numbers of the top BCS programs in the last two seasons, in comparison to how each has recruited since 2009. Here's the Top 5 list of best record in the nation:

TEAM               Record (reg. season)    Avg. recruiting rank   Total 4/5-stars (via Rivals)
1. Alabama         22-2                             2nd                              67
1. LSU                22-2                             8th                               52
3. K-State           21-3                            72nd                               3
3. Oregon           21-3                            18th                              36
5. Notre Dame    20-4                            16th                              39

Notables from Big 12
Oklahoma          19-5                            12th                           48
Texas                15-9                             4th                            68
Kansas               3-21                           49th                             8

Texas Christian University coach Gary Patterson has been hired as Kansas State's 34th football coach, multiple sources have confirmed to GoPowercat.com.  Patterson replaces Ron Prince, who was fired Wednesday. - Tim Fitzgerald   Nov, 7, 2008

I think somebody on here was saying JUCO corner was our most critical need and the guy we absolutely had to have out of all of them was Nate Willis or something.

Quote
UK makes go-pro-quickly pitch to JUCO cornerback
Justin Rowland
CatsIllustrated.com

Talk about it in Wabash Station
Across the country, Kentucky is known as the school that recruits the nation's best basketball talent and then sends it off to the NBA, typically after just one year.

The one-and-done pitch doesn't work in football. After all, players aren't eligible for the NFL draft until they have been out of high school for three years.

There's one exception: Junior college recruits. And while the one-and-done pitch is very rare, it's one UK seems to be making with at least one new target.

   

Nate Willis says he'll probably visit South Florida and Kentucky.
"Kentucky offered me on Friday or Saturday," said Nate Willis, a cornerback from Arizona Western Community College. "I talked to the safeties coach (Bradley Dale Peveto) and he just told me the SEC is a great conference and they're looking to make a turnaround with some new coaches.

"He was telling me he was late getting on me because he didn't know where he would end up at, but he always wanted to recruit me. He was telling me about the coaches around him, Coach (Mark) Stoops from Florida State and the other different coaches. He was telling me how they need to build their program up. He said if I do what I have to do, come in ready to play and set the bar high then I probably won't even have to do a senior year."

Playing time is important to junior college recruits, as they have less time to make a splash before NFL scouts take a look at them. The 6-foot, 180-pound corner liked Peveto's pitch.

"He was being honest with me," Willis said. "Just letting me know different things about Kentucky."

Willis admitted that the opportunity to play early in the SEC is "a big pull" and that's one reason Kentucky has been able to make a big impression on him in a short amount of time.

West Virginia, Kansas State, Baylor and South Florida were Willis' favorites prior to the Kentucky offer. Where do things stand now?

"I'm going to see who else talks to me over the next couple of days. Judging by that I may take somebody out of (his list of favorites) and just add Kentucky," he said. "I don't really have a line-up of where teams are. I'm just going by what they have to offer.

"I can play in any scheme. That's not that important. I just like to see what they like for their corners to do. How often they blitz and things like that. So I want to watch more film on these schools."

Willis has taken an official visit to West Virginia and he has two others in mind.

"I'll probably take one to South Florida and I'll probably take one to Kentucky. The last one is pretty much up for grabs."

The three-star prospect has also visited Mississippi State but the Bulldogs are no longer being considered.

That was me, and according to Rivals, he was scheduled to visit KSU on 1/14.  It doesn't look like that any longer.

So, basically we're going to lose our top two JUCO corner prospects to Tennessee and Kentucky, lol, sight unseen.

Comical.

After we landed Boyd and Ramirez did are staff just say eff it and to start to build for 3 & 4 years away instead of 2? We are coming close to the 25 limit and still have Jacarthy Mack coming in, and would have to assume we are talking Maurice chandler. Zach Hannon might flip our way and their is a so called mystery HS defense player also visiting in January.

Kitchen was just on 610 and I was listening for some reason.  They discussed some recruits and mentioned that Ramirez and either Tanner Wood or J. Boyd (can't remember) were not even getting scholarships, but walking on.   :sdeek:

Has this been discussed?
