Too much basketball rots the brain. Let's talk football....
The day has almost come where we will see BB trot out onto a football field wearing a K-State uniform. ukeb: K-State has been tight-lipped when it comes to AB and BB over the last year. The first real quotes I've heard about their performance comes from this article and even that's not much. I'm sure the K-State media and fans are just as curious about these kids as we were, although the K-Sate media and fans aren't nearly as rabid, so who knows. Regardless,
I thought I'd throw out a few questions:
1.) I found it interesting that in the above article, K-State includes BB and AB as part of their 2011 recruiting class. For the recruiting gurus, is it normal for schools to consider transfers part of the recruiting class once they become re-eligible or is K-State just trying make their offseason look better?
2.) Stated differently, how did the recruiting services factor in BB & AB (if at all) when ranking 2011 recruiting classes? Scouts said K-State took 12 three stars and ranked them 64th. I would imagine that doesn't include AB and BB, right?
3.) Do you know of any other recruiting class that took more relatives of former players than K-State? They got Justin Tuggle, who is the son of long-time NFL linebacker Jessie Tuggle, Glenn Gronkowski currently has three brothers (Dan, Rob and Chris) in the NFL, Ian Seau is the nephew of Junior Seau, Marquel Bryant is the cousin of NFL wide receiver Dez Bryant and Hunter Davis is the cousin of current NFL receiver Wes Welker. Also, Tyler Lockett is the son of former Wildcat great Kevin Lockett and the nephew of Aaron Lockett, both of whom played in the NFL.
4.) Will BB start this year and will it be a "break-out" season? Define "break-out".
5.) If you were a RB, who would you rather play your last 2 seasons of college football for -- Bill Snyder at K-State, CDD at UT, or Al Golden at Miami? Who gives you a better chance at the NFL?
For me, Snyder, Golden, CDD.
6.) If you were a LB, same question.
For me, same.
7.) If you were a QB, same question.
For me, CDD, Golden, Snyder.
8.) Tell the truth -- will you watch at least 3 K-State games this year to get a look at BB?
I definitely will -- I'm put off by his actions at UT, and I'm not sold on his skill set, but I can't help it, I'm still intrigued by this kid.
