didn't want to clog up the recruiting thread with this stuff, but i did want to post my thoughts on the class as a whole.
i'm enthusiastic about the pg. it sucks that he can't play/practice to start, and i imagine there must be concerns about his pg instincts/game mgmt or he'd be more highly rated, but overall he looks like a quality player that kstate was able to steal due to his academic problems.
i'm very down on the transfers. a guy that was a low-efficiency/high volume player on a losing team in a lowish mid-major league and a guy that made absolutely no impact on a team on the same level as kstate. i wouldn't expect either to contribute much to a winning big 12 team and the fact that they eat up three scholarship years to play two makes them even worse. and they can't even really be run off (not ethically, anyways, although ethics never stops coaches).
i'm ok with the other four freshmen. they all seem like reasonable as big 12 recruits. if they were the bottom 4 of a 7 man class, you'd likely consider it a pretty solid class. if a couple of them turn out to be average or better big 12 players and the other two are run off, i don't think you can complain. if one turns out to be another pullen, then you've hit the lottery.
all said, i still am surprised and disappointed with how poorly the staff recruited in their first two years. but the great thing with bball is that even so, a good 2014 class can turn the program right back around.
