Football Recruiting Thread

[ManBearTurkey]

Jimmie Swain, Elijah Lee, and Nick Ramirez would make for quite a trio at the linebacker position. I'm pretty happy that we're putting more effort into recruiting the greater KC area....and mushing Pinkel and Andy Hill along the way.

it's like bill wasn't even trying last year, right? why is hs recruiting this much better, especially considering he's another year older and probably won't coach for another 5 years.

New recruiting coordinator, Andre Coleman and Blake Seiler are awesome. In addition to the Dr Pepper, Stadium Expansion, Nub being in trash conference and MU being MU.

Never underestimate how awesome of humans we've had on the team - DT, Harp, AB, CK, TLBL, Zim, Finney, Walker etc etc.

Still need them to sign though. But things are positive.

Who is the recruiting cordinator now?  Have Coleman and Seiler actually landed any recruits?  I swear I remember seeing that Del Miller was the lead recruiter for a couple of these kids.  Something definitely seems different but it's still early.

I had heard that most of the greyshirts have spring birthdays and are young for their class, so they are 6-12 months behind developing. The birthdates aren't up for the ones that just came in, but a quick look at 4 from the year before show birthdays in January, March, May, and June (turned 18 the summer after HS).  Not saying its planned, but it's probably a consideration that there's a chance they may have more growing to do.

I wonder if Bill reads Malcom Gladwell.

I had a similar thought, but in all fairness Bill put in his 10,000 hours a long time ago and probably came to this conclusion independently.

 

i'm not going to go try and find it but we've absolutely already discussed this. i can't remember who brought it up and when but we talked about it even down to the gladwell mention.

Took me 20 seconds to find, here you go - http://goEMAW.com/forum/index.php?topic=18941.0

Someone inform him that we have scoreboard on both those teams.

Don't know why this jerk doesn't just decommit already...

Although committed to Kansas State, offensive tackle Robert Castaneda (Round Rock, Texas/Round Rock) ultimately will have a big decision to make.

After taking in the Texas Tech spring game -- an experience he gave the highest marks -- Castaneda said the Red Raiders are high on his recruiting list. Castaneda was one of the estimated 16,000-plus in attendance in Lubbock, Texas, for Saturday’s game, and he, his father and his younger brother all enjoyed the atmosphere and being around coaches and past, present and future Red Raiders.

“It was a 10 ... an easy 10, no question,” Castaneda said of the trip. “It was my second time up there; it was pretty satisfying. The spring game was really phenomenal. I had so much fun hanging out and meeting players.

“I loved the coaches. Their energy, man ... they’re young, hyper and ready to work. They’re just super full of energy.”

Castaneda, a 6-foot-5, 310-pound tackle, is being recruited to Texas Tech by receivers coach Eric Morris, someone Castaneda called “the best recruiter I’ve talked to so far.” While he enjoyed his trip, Castaneda confirmed he’s still committed to Kansas State.

That commitment will be monitored for the time being.

“The trip did make me take a step back and look at things,” Castaneda said. “I talked to my dad, and we had a 1-on-1 conversation at dinner [Saturday] night. It made it a big, broader view on how I feel about Texas Tech. If it keeps going like this, maybe my mind will change.

“Now that spring ball is coming to an end, I’m just going to let things play out and do my thing in high school. I’m just going to let them come to me now.”

Because someone smart is probably telling him to wait and see how KK does his first year.

I like the part about the coaches being young and all...........He probably had to wake up Snyder, Hayes, and our OC (can't recal his name off hand, just that he is old like dirt), on his trip............

Let's just cut this loser loose

Some top250 guy put us in his final 5 ($)

['taterblast]

We have learned that Kansas State has secured another football commitment for their 2014 class.

However, the young man has asked that we do our best to keep it quiet until he is in town this weekend for the Spring Game so he can notify coaches personally.

When that time arrives, possibly as soon as Friday night or Saturday morning, we will release the information.
