There's a good chance this winds up being a high end class in terms of OL for OSU. They already have a top 10 OT and the #1 OG in the class (#56 and 57 nationally), and we're favored for JC Latham (4*, #80 overall nationally), and they're pressing for several others. Also favored for two top 10 DTs, including the #31 player in the nation. Pretty happy about that.

Yeah we're gonna replace a lot on the OL after the 2020 season. Munford, Davis, and Myers will be gone. My hope is we move Myers back to guard and start Harry Miller at center to get him the experience, and I feel like he's definitely ready. I'm really hoping NPF picks it up this year, we're going to need him.

I wouldn't be shocked to see Kansas State take a turn for the better with Chris Klieman as the HC. I'm wondering if they're going to be able to keep him there for long.

I think they will definitely see improvement in the program. He can do more with less than Snyder could in his last few seasons (Klieman actually brought NDSU into Manhattan and beat Snyder *Klieman was the DC then). One concern I had when Klieman was announced is that K-State would be his stepping stone. One thing that bodes well for KSU is that the current AD had previously been at NDSU where he had a strong relationship with Klieman. So that may keep Klieman around longer.

Any school on the level of KSU is in "danger" of being a stepping stone. Just gotta hope you find the unicorn... Good coach who isn't necessarily looking for the next big opportunity.

Exactly... they need to find their next Snyder. They have made drastic improvements to their facilities over the last 5+ years and have more stuff in the works. So that should help as well.

At some point it usually comes down to answering "How much more money is necessary for me to put up with a proportionate amount of shit?" Or the reverse. "How much less money are I willing to accept in order to NOT have to put up with more shit?"

It's a lot easier to win a championship at a school where you have to put up with shit.

Yes it is. And it is more lucrative financially.

But, I was shocked to read this. I had no idea this was the case. But it made sense considering how big of a mess Rhule took on. Had to pay someone willing to attack that dumpster fire.

"Rhule needed time. Money he already had. Athletic director Mack Rhoades gave him a seven-year deal that eventually earned him top-10 money in 2019. He also needed talent and hope. Never mind the NFL. If the Baylor thing didn't work out, that might have been it for his major-college career."

Matt Rhule, like Bill O'Brien, proved reviving a major college team in turmoil is a risk worth taking
