Needs for next year!
« on: January 26, 2011, 12:37:38 PM »

Per ESPN: http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/24860/recruiting-needs-big-12-north

KANSAS STATE

Running back: I hear your cries for Bryce Brown, Wildcats fans, but K-State can't expect to hitch their wagon to the former blue-chip recruit turned Tennessee transfer in the same way it did for Daniel Thomas. Thomas and his backup, William Powell, are gone, and the Wildcats need some depth at running back to show up.

Interior offensive linemen: K-State loses both guards and its center from an offense that produced the Big 12's leading rusher in 2010. Don't expect them to do it again in 2011 without Wade Weibert, Kenneth Mayfield and Zach Kendall, as well as Thomas and Powell, but finding some new talent behind them will help them come close.

Cornerback: David Garrett emerged as a budding star in 2010 ready for a breakout senior year in 2011, but the Wildcats lose Terrance Sweeney and Stephen Harrison, as well as safety Troy Butler. Like we've mentioned earlier, good secondaries are a must for success in the Big 12, and K-State had one of the league's worst in 2010.

ESPN does not know what they are talking about.  

I am fully comfortable with 5* Bryce Brown, 4* Demarcus Robinson, and John Hubert (broke Tomilson's records in high school) to replace DT.

I also think Snyder has the guys to replace the players we lost on the offensive line.  And he addressed the cornerback position with 3 Juco commits and are targeting 2 high school grads.
