Bill Snyder was prepared for the question.
Is the Kansas State football coach discouraged by the low rating that recruiting services have attached to the Wildcats’ latest recruiting class, a 22-member group that Rivals.com ranked 76th nationally and ninth in the Big 12?
“I’m not interested in the rankings,” Snyder said.
Instead, Snyder is more concerned about the assessments made by himself and his coaching staff. Skylar Thompson, a four-star quarterback from Fort Osage (Mo.), is the highest-rated prospect in K-State’s incoming class, but the Wildcats think they all have potential.
Snyder pays significant attention to a player’s upside during the recruiting process.
