Asked how he was able to sell so many talented junior-college prospects on a place like Kansas, Weis flashed his brutal honesty and reiterated something local media members heard months ago.
“Everyone wants to play,” he said. "There's no one that wants to not play. I said, 'Have you looked at that pile of crap out there? If you don't think you can play here, where do you think you can play?' It's a pretty simple approach.”
It also sent the room into fits of laughter and Twitter into a frenzy.
Later, when asked to clarify his comment, Weis did not back down and said the declaration was nothing new to his players.
“They wouldn't be shocked,” Weis said. “They'd expect it. Let me just get one thing straight. I'm talking about what they saw last year. We have yet to play this year. And we have 12 games, at least, for them to change that impression. Hopefully I can't use that this year.”
Added junior quarterback Jake Heaps: "That's what we love as players; we love how candid he is. We know exactly where we stand with him. We don't have to worry about him sugar-coating it and him playing mind games with us. It's all about honesty. And it pushes you to get better. At least you know where you stand."
