[The Big Train]

I'm glad you chose an appropriate magnitude for this scale

I also said average

[steve dave]

[AppleJack]

I really like you, but sometimes you're just not funny.

Sorry, it has to be said.   Have a good night, tho.

[Cartierfor3]

I would only put us above ku, isu and maybe TT using the conference as a reference point.  I just can't say a team with our skill players is average.

Yep, still think he's a great guy though.

[Dr Rick Daris]

our athletes are above average or we wouldn't have won as much as we have the last five years. good crap you dumbshits are dumber than i thought. i mean we are sitting at 14 votes and 12 of you dumbshits honestly think our football team is average or below atheletically.

Half this team would struggle for a spot on any Jayhawk conference juco team.

On a scale of 1-5 for athleticism we are a 4.1.

On a scale of 1-5 for athleticism we are a 4.1.

Our backups are a 2.4. Our issue is depth. The front line guys are fine.

Yep. That doesn't fit our typical fan/media narrative, though.

[troubledscribe]

We might give SDSU a run for their money?

"I had a buddy of mine tour the new facility recently and he saw a lot of the players while he was there. He said he came away unimpressed with the look of our team. Said they just didn't look athletic or fast or really that big. Said all the OL just looked fat and the receivers looked soft. Now I know Bill can turn poop into an all-star but it does kind of bother me that we aren't getting players that at least look athletic. Does that matter to anyone else?"

Have you seen our WRs?

I sorta agree with this.  However, when you look at the results, I mean, it kind of looks like we are avg to slightly above avg throughout the roster, otherwise we'd should see more of a drop off, no?  The 2 years we had really good seasons, we had players at key spots that were between good and great college players (Klein, Harper, TBL, Brown, Zimmerman?).  In the DoD we had above avg to great/elite talent throughout the roster and our draft picks then vs. now validate that, imo (as does our records throughout those years).


2009 Snyder 6–6 4–4   
2010 Snyder 7–6 3–5   
2011 Snyder 10–3 7–2 
2012 Snyder 11–2 8–1 
2013 Snyder 8–5 5–4 
2014 Snyder 9–4 7–2 

[MixBerryCrunch]

QBs -  Average (Possibly Untalented, though)

WRs - Below Average

RBs - ??? (Jones is at best average but who knows about Silmon or Warmack)

OL - Above Average

DL - Above Average and talented but undersized

LBs - Currently way below average but the two Freshman are hopefully well above average

Secondary - Elite Status


A nice little average mix with above average coaching.

[Big Sam]

Thought: Ask yourself these questions:

1. What percentage of the Big 12 teams are bigger/faster on average compared to KSU across the board (full roster)?
2. What percentage of the SEC teams are bigger/faster on the average compared to KSU across the board (full roster)?
3. ACC?
4. Big10?
5. PAC 12?

Then, ask the same question about the American Athletic, Mountain West, Mid-American, Conference USA, and Sun Belt Conferences.  Oh, and don't forget the independents.

My guess is that many are considering the Power 5 conferences, and in that ranking, KSU ain't gonna look pretty.  Where KSU gains ground is against the other FBS schools.  The problem is, KSU is the peer of the Power 5 set, not the other group.

[Trim]

I took major conference to mean power 5, like the one KSU is in, and thus measuring them against peers.
