Nothing to do with us but just heard a stat that Kansas State current roster has 58 players that are or were walk ons. Seems amazing to me.

Now that is recruiting. Get enough fresh meat to keep the scholarship boys busy.

There is still a place in big time football for a guy a step slower or a little under-sized to succeed if he has the heart, desire and great coaching. And those kinds of teams have great chemistry with a team-first attitude and are fun to coach and fun for fans to support.

It's almost like you can occasionally find something of value in a large quantity of that which is less valuable. If you think about it, it is somewhat like being able to find a diamond in the rough. Why don't we look for more of these so called diamonds in the rough??

because not many walkons can afford $50,000 tuition.

When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.
