Recruiting Impact From The UNI Game?

[Cyclonick182]

So I saw there were a few threads regarding what people though of Rhoads recruiting, however my main concern from Saturday beyond the embarrassment factor and my question to you all, What impact does that loss have on our class for next year in regards to keeping guys committed?

 

[im4cyclones]

Cannot answer yet. Depends on how the season goes...

 

[Luth4Cy]

I don't know if it really makes a difference. I think recruits probably tend to look at the big picture more than one loss.

 

[chuckd4735]

One loss will have minimal, if no impact. If we see this all season, then there may be reason for concern.

 

[cyclonedave25]

From just that one game? Probably nothing.
Ask me again after the season.

 

[RoseBowlBound]

One game? Minimal. A 3-5 Win season? Some to marginal impact.

 

[ISUKyro]

The good news is pretty much no one actually saw the game.
So sshhhhhhhh don't bring it up to often.

This is pretty much what I think as well but I don't follow recruiting close enough to know if what I think is generally in line with what tends to happen in these situations.

Are you serious? Do you think all of KSU recruits just backed out of their agreement? Did you think all the players who watched Michigan get blown out by Appy State? Nuff said.

I'm not suggesting that's whats going to happen. I don't really following recruiting which is why I asked.

 

[CycloneErik]

No one will choose to come here.
Current players will transfer.
We will become a low-grade JUCO with a 4 year degree.

That works pretty well for K-State.

Saturday night didn't cost us any committed recruits. Though it might have cost us guys who were on the fence. However, if we follow this up with a 2-10 or 3-9 season (or worse) then losing to an FCS team might very well be what recruits point to when they switch commitments.

 

[Luth4Cy]

Maybe it will actually help recruiting because blue-chip recruits will start to feel sorry for us.

RB Jeff Jones will watch a few of our games this year and decide that he was insane for even considering ISU. Why would he want to play for a school where he will get less than 10 carries a game?

 

[2020cy]

I think they saw a significant amount of playing time available if they come to ISU.

 

[BallSoHard4Cy]

The recruting impact of this game is that Fred can now sell that we are a basketball school and all the attention of the fans will be focused on basketball.

only half kidding.

LOL. Our coaches have to redshirt every player first....

bye bye Lazzard

No way Saturday cost us Lazard. But if we waste our WRs all season I bet he starts to have second thoughts. We've got decent talent at WR this year and a QB who is actually pretty accurate. Lets use them!! Iowa's DBs seem to be the worst unit on their team. So if we don't hit them and hit them hard Messingham needs to be escorted out of the booth at halftime, and Rhoads needs to be asked some pretty serious questions about why he allowed that to happen.
