safety position going into the season
« on: December 05, 2020, 08:56:51 AM »
im trying to figure out how the coaches thought our personnel for the safety position was adequate going into the season and didn't pursue transfer or juco options. there's no reason to believe they thought any of the young safeties were going to be adequate because none of them were experimented with early in the season. Even if they thought Wayne Jones was going to develop a lot more than he did thats a lot to risk on 1 player. Most coaches not only want a dependable starter but they want at least 1 backup that isnt a big step down from the starter. not only did KSU go into the season without an adequate starter but they didn't have anything on the depth chart either. how big of a miscalculation or misevaluation did our coaches do this year ? I like the coaching staff, i think there are some weak pieces, but i am not impressed from the outside at their urgency to create high quality depth at every position. are they aggressively seeking transfers but getting turned away?

Kashi, did you really expect all the roster holes to be fixed in one recruiting class? You are constantly bitching about roster depth, did you want them to sign all juco players last year? You might be the only fan of any team in the country whining about their head coaches first recruiting class being filled with freshmen.

it was the 2nd recruiting class and there is nothing wrong with trying to win now. it wouldn't take a whole class of jucos or transfers but a few at key positions. all the other programs do it. why would KSU not want to do what other successful programs do?

He was hired the week before early signing day in 2018, kashi, that wasn't his class. It was filled with Snyder and FCS recruits. Other successful programs build with freshmen, I'd love to know what successful programs you have seen that stacked their first class with jucos. Blaming this staff for lack of depth, is especially stupid. Come back with this in 2022, snyderite.

watching our safeties in this texas game they are terrible. Slow to react to every play. slow to attack. its almost like we have a couple players out there that aren't even on the field. they are virtually invisible. our DC has a lot of work to do
