I just get sick of all the negativity. We just went to the Elite 8 and are a top 5 pre-season team. We have a coach who turned down 2.5 at Oregon and a a great staff. Instead of enjoying it we berate them. Enjoy the freaking ride. We sound like the mid-courters at Lawrence. You know the tools that call into the Monday night shows suggesting a change to the coach. Always ridiculous.
I don't see how pointing out that we're not recruiting at the same level as Michigan St, a national power, is being negative. It's the simple truth.
The simple truth is that Adrian Diaz had an 1 verified(possibly 2)offer(s) from other BCS schools when he committed to us. Still doesn't mean he won't turn out to be a productive player for KSU, but taking that kind of kid early in the process is a bigger risk than taking a top 100 kid with multiple BCS offers at the same time.
Gipson and Diaz could both be very solid role players for us, but at some point, if we want to maintain Top 25 status, we're going to have get players who have the POTENTIAL to be difference makers. I do think Williams has that kind of potential and I thought that even before he was given 4*, I'd like to see us land more players like him.
