Kansas State's Rejections are Northern Iowa's Gains
Feb. 5, 2009 11:09 am
Recruiting is a dirty game sometimes.
Adrian Mims and Josh Johnson of the Kansas City area orally committed to Ron Prince's Kansas State football program last year. Then Prince was fired in early November.
Enter Bill Snyder, K-State's past and, now, present head coach.
Shortly before Christmas, Snyder told the two players there would be no scholarships for them. Other college coaches had forgotten about them, of course, since they had declared for another school.
Northern Iowa Coach Mark Farley has found room for the two, though. There are reasons why Farley keeps UNI on such a high level in football.
