Well the usual suspects are now tossing their tired excuses on the fire over in respect city.
Yes, once again we all demand nothing but 4 and 5 star recruits . . . when in reality we'd just like to see K-State simply get a couple of 4 star guys in each class, with a nice batch of solid 3 star types with legit D1 offers and then they can DITR/Fringe Juco the hell out of the last 6-8 guys.
There's absolutely NO excuse why that can't happen. The usual respects act like every other school is effing Ibiza during the height of party season . . . when in reality the vast majority of college towns are a lot like Manhattan, and would be nothing but wide spots in the road with MAYBE a blinking red light at the main intersection if there wasn't a university there. Most of them like Manhattan literally carve "urban sprawl" out of cornfields and pastures.
Then there's the "yeah but Prince was a great recriter (really??) and our highest rated recruiting classes were when we went 4-7 the first time around." That doesn't mean $hit . . . absolutely NOTHING.
There's only one reason why this occurs and he sits in the big office.
Oh, and they still act like 10 win seasons have been falling from the sky like Manna from the Heavens . . . yeah, there's been ONE in the last EIGHT.
