I agree with stunted on this one,  we have landed some nice supporting cast for next year, but need 2 or 3 more studs.
The way the KSO types are celebrating it on Twitter in reference to oscar, is goddamn silly.

Are we still waiting on one more that Tang announced?  Wasn't there 3 total?

The third is thought to be about his daughter going to K-State and a joke.

My level of excitement is necessarily about how good we’ll be next year. None of the players we have for next year have proved much at the D-1 level, but it looks like the coaches are gearing up to play a more exciting style of basketball and there’s definitely a ton of dude potential among the players we’re bringing in.

So we've already changed the expectation curve for the new staff. No commentary on whether this is good or bad, but these signings are much better than where we've been the last few years.

I don’t remember what I thought about Mark Smith when we signed him but he way exceeded my expectations.  I don’t think we have landed anyone yet that will produce at his level. Julian Phillips or Antoine Davis certainly would.

Kellis said Phillips is the first five-star we've had visit since 2009 (Mr. Judge).

His upcoming visit to Manhattan is big news for new basketball coach Jerome Tang. K-State hasn’t landed a five-star recruit since Wally Judge in 2009.

Actually, in retrospect, probably nothing. I just looked at our recent past class rankings and they were better than I remembered.

The people acting like we’re getting dudes we haven’t been getting previously, are being silly as crap. We might have some higher profile visits coming, but we haven’t closed anyone yet, that’s any different then what we’re use to.

You saw that our entire roster transferred and only Nijel got on with another P6 team right?

Correct, but these are unsure dudes too. Nobody was flipping their crap in excitement when former 4* Ish was transferring in from WF, but damn, you get a dude from LSU who averages 2 ppg, time to flip some crap in excitement! :lol: I know this is rapid fire recruiting, because of the current situation, but the KSO types out there on twitter banging their chests are embarrassing themselves right now.

Tang put together a class that is on par with the average Weber class while only on the job for a few weeks.

They have yet to lose a player who has visited, obviously it will happen at some point but it hasn't yet. Every player who has visited has either committed here or are still undecided.

Close Davis and Phillips and i'm sold, but I think NIL is still going to be an issue at K-State.

Also, we have a terrible track record with JUCO players at K-State lately. It's like Mitch and everyone else back in the 80's/early 90's. We haven't had a good JUCO player here in quite sometime. Interested to see how that plays out with Tang and Co.
