How is WKU. ...

We rely too much on props to make an impact before they even step foot on the field. If they ever get there.

This is a myth as we have very few props in the program and only take a handful every year.

Didn't we have like 7 in the last class? I don't think it's a bad thing at all, I actually prefer it to schools who load up on Juco's. Just saying, don't count the chickens before they hatch. Our attrition lately has been higher than normal.

Everyone is a little worried about our WRs. Me too. Well we have a 6'3 guy, a 6' guy and a prob 6'4 guy in prep school who should be eligible next yr. Nieves and Carn are in school.

Also a LB named G Davis in school.

I don't think it's a bad thing either. I know everyone defines few and handful differently, but I count about 16 on roster now plus we booted Butler and Jean Louis that would have made about 18. Then there are guys like Kent Turene that were props that are gone now and I believe we have at least 4-6 sitting out now for next year.

It's not insignificant and it also depends on how you count--we had guys like von davis coming then not make it, guys that wash out before they every occupy a scholly, sometimes before they get here and sometimes after they arrive for their prop year.

Yes, but a clerical issue by the MU Administration not the athletic department led to two a couple of recruits not being able to stay at MU. Let just say they were screwed out of student loans.

If true this is UNACCEPTABLE. This kind of oversight can NOT happen. That is bush league stuff

so you were wrong with the "very few" comment??

For what it's worth, although smaller, WKU's football stadium was MUCH nicer than ours in my opinion. Both the layout and the look were great.

Not surprising since they supposedly spent more on enlarging and remodeling Houchens-Smith than we spent on the original Edwards stadium.

Hamrick is going to have to make some improvements to the Joan. Facelift long overdue. Restrooms need to be updated - all the original fixtures and looking bad. Concourse areas need cleaned and lots of painting needs to be done IMO.

Doc hasn't taken as many as Coach Pruett in a recruiting year but to call this a myth means you are either misinformed or in denial.

 

[pintcan]

Nieves, Carn, Davis,Hames and Allen the ones I've seen reported

The myth is that all of our recruits are props. We only take 4-5 every year, and all have to have GPAs good enough to be admitted to school so I don't know what I am in denial about. Hell, i don't know what is supposedly wrong with us doing that to be honest, but it seems like there are a lot of dumb, uninformed idiots out there that like to spew horseshit and make false statements about our program when it comes to props.

Trebel "per capita" compared to what? I guess you should be happy with our 0-4 (soon to be 0-5) men's basketball team since players from WV dominate the roster. Should tell you something and don't forget Dantoni has the 2015 WV Player of the Year who doesn't even get to play. Yeah "per capita."

They are FR man. Not sure what else you are expecting.

I think Burks looks like a good ball player, he just happens to be young. Same goes for the 2 European FR in Penava and Dozic.
