I'm fine with us playing walk ons so much if their really the best option at their position. Sometimes they are, sometimes they're not. The thing is, those walk-ons/unknowns need to be giving it all every play. Watching Cook give a half assed effort on that deep ball and Shellenburger fall down every single time a player made any type of juke was infuriating.

the best guys we have had in Snyder II were Klein (holdover from prince) Lockett (legacy player) and two transfers Harper and Arthur

I don't count Truman or Mueller as walk-ons, they deserve to have scholarships they are good players. Shelly is a "walk-on" and it is on the coaches for not having enough options ahead of him.

There just can't be any way that Shelly is really better than Newlan or Prewett.  It's not possible.

It has to be that he goes all out in practice or something.  Has to be.

I thought Davis could have been serviceable, but the speed simply isn't there.  Mea culpa on that one.  I think it was Hatter that said he wasn't fit for this level, so good analysis there.

Who are these Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) coaches who don't have an nfl caliber player at every position and in the two deep? I mean seriously,  it's completely unreasonable that we don't have 4 nfl safeties on this roster.

Prewett not playing is infuriating.

Not being able to recruit the skill positions is infuriating.

Texas Christian University coach Gary Patterson has been hired as Kansas State's 34th football coach, multiple sources have confirmed to GoPowercat.com.  Patterson replaces Ron Prince, who was fired Wednesday. - Tim Fitzgerald   Nov, 7, 2008

Newlan and Prewett are more gifted athletes but their aren't ready to play within the system. But I don't think that is the point. There are positions on the roster that are weak with scholarship worthy upper class-men. Offensive tackle and safety are a joke, wide receiver and defensive end leaves something to be desired.

Yes, never ask why walk-ons apparently regularly beat out guys we offered rides to right out of the gate.

K-State tucks (of which we have many around here) eat up a good story about a Western Kansas kid walking on and beating out a full ride guy.   Thus, they don't ask why this is happening, regularly.

Evans sucked last night.  Too soon to use him as an example.

Aside from Schelly, what walk on is starting that you have a problem with?

Having a problem with with a player is not the point.   It's the fact that walk-ons end up regularly beating out schollie offer players.  Why is that so hard to understand?

What good did all conference guys do us last night FSD?    The only guy who even remotely looked like an all conference player was a scholarship offer out of high school guy.   The rest pretty much got clown suited.

You're so rough ridin' dumb.  None of our walk-ons are good players and that include mueller or any of our dogshit o-lineman.

Well, the players that have been mentioned are a backup safety and the team's fourth or fifth receiver. Those guys suck on most teams. I wouldn't blame that on the walk on culture.

Walk-on culture/DITR is a nice story but you might as well wipe-out all thoughts of a natty.   Which is a pipe dream anyway.   Because better athletes, better prepared and playing at a high level are going to beat walk-on culture/DITR about 90% of the time.

To be fair,  Mueller has been very underwhelming so far this year.
