K-State only has 8 commits. 2 are from iowa

[HandSanitizer]

Snyder has his own fertile training ground with the JUCO's in Kansas. They will probably have a full class before signing, and the JUCO's know they are going to K State. They recruit a lot of them, and enough seem to pan out. I like what Rhoads is building better. But you can't argue with their success.

This...you beat me to it. They will sign 8-10 freshman. Rest will be JUCO.

I wonder if Snyder hands out wyrthers originals to his players, you know like grandpa does.

I heard through the grapevine that Bill Snyder is after the Derby kid that transferred to juco from Iowa because they didnt want him as a qb. Snyder is recruiting him asa qb, anyone else heard this?

[cycloneML]

lots of speculation that Snyder is done after this year. Wonder if that has something to do with it.
Plus they have to wait for other guys to get academically ineligible at other schools, then they get them.

he's not leaving anytime soon. I'm on KState campus once a month and there is no speculation that he is leaving.

That would suck.

[The_Architect]

Snyder's eye for talent is second to none. I wouldn't put too much (any) stock into their lack of a class at this point.

Till death do us part?

I guess we need to go hunting for that evil wizard's horcruxes...

That would suck.

For who? Derby has not exactly performed well as a QB in JuCo. If he goes to a major college program, I bet he only sees the field at another position.

Whatever it takes...that old man can coach.

My guess is staff is having a difficult time converting the recruiting DVD's back to Betamax for Fr. Time to preview. They'll get it done right before signing day, load up with the best JUCOs, and still whip ***** next season.

Another factor is Snyder's stipulation for making an official scholarship offer. I'm fairly certain that he will not allow an offer to be made until after he sits down with a recruit on an offical visit and makes a decision that the guy would be a good fit for the program. Granted, other coaches also often have situations where an evaluation of the visit is the determining factor. There are also coaches who throw out scholarship offers in the hopes of generating enough interest from a recruit to agree to schedule a visit.
A policy like this probably hurts Snyder with some recruits who want the security of having a scholarship offer before they agree to visit. At the same time, it probably leads to a little more buyin from both sides when a recruit gets added to the commit list. A recruit comes to a Kansas State visit with a goal of convincing Snyder that he deserves an offer rather than simply not doing anything dumb enough to cause an existing offer to be pulled.

Colin Klein probably wouldn't have looked all that great either being he was a WR when Snyder got there. I can't really think of someone physically more comparable to Derby than Klein is who has also had success.

I can think of a lot of people just as comparable phyiscally to Derby. Klein is one of the very few that were successful QBs. I like my odds that Derby will be nowhere near the QB Klein is.

Kansas Juco coaches and boosters are the ones talking, i do believe you though that a vet school grad assistant doesn't see it coming

Is there a team in the league that loses more players to graduation than KSU?
