Football Recruiting Thread

Guys...come on.

you and I both know I'm right. 

[Panjandrum]

True.  But because we historically recruit hot garbage, losing a previously committed 4* stud is more damaging than at a place like OSU, a pipeline for all of our in-state talent.

I disagree.

Just trying to keep up with the high standards around here.

This just seems like normal football recruiting stuff to me.

yeah I haven't seen or read anything that would make me believe that we lose previously committed recruits at a higher rate than anyone else.

Kids flip all of the time.  We're not unique.

Something is weird, here, because he specifically said he was sticking with us over Miami via Twitter last month.  He told the dorks at GPC the same thing.  Now he wants Miami again?

He's tweeting at other guys, not 24 hours ago, saying they can win a title here, and then later that night, he's telling Cassidy that he's going to take a visit to Miami in January.

I'm sorry, but this isn't as simple as, "Get this kid to commit."  This is really bizarre.

could miami have just recently been able to have him for a visit whereas before they couldn't a month ago?

I guess.  But why write them off if it was just a scheduling issue?

some of you have insane standards of excellence for the coaching staff when it comes to recruiting. with or without derricott, the 2014 class is the best class of snyder redux. practically every single kid has multiple offers from schools in the power 6 and you want to complain that one guy might flip? welcome to big time college athletics. i expected more out of titletown fans...

[yoga-like_abana]

who are the DITR in this class?!

who are the DITR in this class?!

we won't know until we see which ones get better offers and decommit. the remaining ones tho for sure.

Dvonta wasn't just the best recruit in this class he was also the heart and soul of this class. This is crushing.

Yeah. Losing one of if not our top recruit is fine. We have some two star athletes to fill that void.

Trust me, I have the exact opposite of "insane standards of excellence" when it comes to Kansas State recruiting.

a little context.  this class is Rivals #51.  ranked quarely behind Conference doormats Iowa State and West Virginia.  ask yourself how that's even possible.  balance.  though this class adds some nice offensive pieces, it's hot garbage on the other side of the ball.  Sans Dericcott, we're missing a single impact LB or DT.  Maybe it's just my insane standards over here, but I think we can do better.

You may as well wish for diamonds to rain from the sky.

[steve dave]

has LHC Bill Snyder ever had success without venables/stoops or ron prince recruited players on his roster? honest question.

i knew it had been posted before, dork. just referencing it as part of my post.

[steve dave]

a lot of people on here use luke improperly. most people actually.

[MakeItRain]

i just don't think the staff is doing that bad a job right now. i may rethink that if we lose McDaniel to ISU or So. Miss and Riddle also goes elsewhere.

so, to be clear, you may rethink your assessment if we lose our top targets (including Derricott) to other (lesser) programs and we can't lock down a DT...

Is this your first year following Kansas State recruiting?  serious question. 

 

it was your assessment that the staff is either too lazy or doesn't care enough. which was a rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) assessment, you rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

When treysolid went h.a.m on me, unprovoked, last week in this thread I though I did something wrong. Glad to see I didn't.

perspective. i didn't say it was fine, but temper your expectations. he could be the next arthur brown but he could also be the next smoke patterson.
