I'd be shocked if coaches in the BIG12 were not telling KSU recruits Snyder is going to retire soon.   Flat out shocked..  
 
Yeah, and I don't like that.  But if they are pointing out that the only high QB picked from KSU ever played for Ron Prince, I don't mind that.

btw.... just a couple days ago, your DC was rumored to be heading to FSU.   That was news.   As you say, your DC can discuss his future and squash a bad rumor.  If he can't... that's on him.
Only people from FSU were talking about that. Fake News. They asked him and he said no. End of story, but Fake News persisted.

Now they want the MSU DC. And when he says no they'll want Monte Kiffin. Or someone.

How many times was Bob Stoops rumored to go someplace else?   it happens.  Coaches at this level know how to deal with it.  They're not amateurs.

I think if it's a legitimate on field thing, it's all fair, and I have zero problem with it.  If Wisconsin uses Frost's UCF defense against him in recruiting a defensive player, I have absolutely zero problem with that.  If a school points out they'be put X number of QBs in the NFL, while another school recruiting the kid has put far fewer, again no problem.  It's the other stuff, Dabo telling kids Saban was going to retire or whatever, that I have no place for.
That is the perfect approach. Or stuff like this:

I'm not convinced he'll say no.  He's only the co-DC at MSU, because MD didn't want to piss either him or Tressell off by choosing one of them when Narduzzi left.

So he makes about $450k, rumor is FSU is paying about $850k.  Does MSU give him the pay bump?  Perhaps.  Problem is it's not just him, since he's a co-DC, you kind of have to bump Tressell too, so it amounts to paying two guys at the normal DC rate.

Exactly, and WIsconsin doesn't just sell that in a vacuum, but sells a comparison to other schools, I think thats' 100% fine.  I mean Nebraska's got Richie Incognito, so...

I prefer to believe it was Michigan
Could be. He has been using negative tactics against Wisconsin lately too. I think he should just look in the mirror if he wants to see negative.

Interesting. I wasn't aware that he was a co-pilot. That changes things a whole lot.

Hell no. UW needs other good teams in the West (besides NU) so people stop bitching about the weak schedule.

recruiting is a dirty slimy business

always has been, always will be

some are just dirtier than others

Osborne seemed to be less dirty than many, Frost seems to follow Osborne's lead on how to run a program

if yer not going to try to one up the Red guys in Madison after they beat the tar out of you for a decade, I'd have a problem with that
