[QUOTE="blmillini, post: 1176100, member: 6575"] BW is nearly perfect for K-State, in my opinion. They don't have a very fertile recruiting area like we do in Illinois and they don't have the national recognition that Kansas has to afford them the opportunity to go get highly rated recruits. Therefore, in order to win they have to use scheme and they have to do it well. I believe that is why BW was able to win at SIU. He is the kind of coach that I think can succeed with under-rated players that have a chip on their shoulder and are willing to run through a wall for the guy. Those kind of players love Weber. Unfortunately, at Illinois he was pressured to go get highly rated players and those players have a different mental makeup and that created contention between player and coach. As long as K-State fans can tolerate low scoring ugly games, his approach can really work in that kind of environment. I hope he does well at K-State even if he wasn't the right guy for Illinois.
