There's a whole lot to unpack and dislike about Duffy's soundbyte analysis, but in my opinion, Bill's reliance on two-start talent is Bill's preference more than anything inherent about Kansas State.

If Snyder wanted to change his message and take a different approach in recruiting kids, we'd see something closer to what we saw in 1999-2003, when we were getting Top 20-30 classes.  I think the 2001 or 2002 class was ranked something like #14 or something ridiculous like that.

However, once he made that turn, he started hating dealing with the kids he was recruiting, so he burnt out and left.  Then he came back and started recruiting a bunch of two-star/three-star kids out of the gate and started recruiting grayshirts instead of JUCO's.

Bill likes the two-star kids because they do what he says without questioning him.  It allows him to do whatever he wants because what's Sean Newlan and Kyle Klein going to do about it?

Nearly the second Bill left the first time a nobody coach stole a 4 star qb from a heralded program four years removed from playing in the national championship game. We were a program with awful facilities coming off of 9 wins in 2 seasons. Of course you can recruit to Manhattan, you can recruit anywhere.

Anyone that spouts that stupid you can't recruit there talking point has never been to State College, PA.

This year was my third KSU v. OSU game and my 4th time in Stillwater for a game.  Its a gross place.  Their aggieville area got a fuzzys and its like haute cuisine... i actually had a stillwaterian tell me how Pita Pit previously held the title.   The whole town just looks trashy and poor.  Finally, i stayed in a La Quinta there once and the concierge booklet listed more churches than entries under 'things to do".

Neither their football nor basketball facilities are that nice, despite "T. Boone money."  They honestly never fill the football stadium up... even the really big games will still have large swaths of empty seats.

It's really is time to BID.

Snyder is just going through the motions.

I don't think he thinks that he is though.  I think he is half deluded and half just old.

Yeah, this would not be a good year for The Legend to hang it up, which means he probably will.

This is a fine year for Bill to hang it up, and I am still hoping he does.

 Eh, most jobs open are really bad jobs. VaTech, South Carolina, & USC are only above average jobs open. I'd say we're on par with everyone but USC obviously.

I've never even heard of a Tom Herman. We need to throw 5 mil/yr at Lane Kiffin then watch the 4 and 5 star recruits start rolling in.

I like to imagine him getting pumped up awkwardly head bopping while listening to "Lose Yourself" on repeat.
