umm, k-state still lovin' on frank martin. the epitome of meh. so N's not the only fanbase.
You would know better than me, especially how his antics during games and towards KSU fans were.

But looking at Frank Martin's time at KSU.... Made the dance 4 out of 5 years. Each time, got past the 1st Round and even made the Elite 8 one time.

Heck of a lot better than anything Bo ever accomplished while at Nebraska.

Yeah, I hated beating back to back ranked Mizzo and Okie State. I hated beating Ohio State and Michigan. It sucked playing in back to back conference championship games. It sucked beating the **** out of Minny and MSU.

I know I know...Wisconsin beat him. Wisconsin is done.

I know, I know...he could not recruit...Rex, Ameer, RG, David, All those bad *** JC DB's.
The fact that Stalin is the worst doesn't mean the Czar wasn't bad.

most all frank martin's k-state accomplishments were with players recruited by bob huggins and that staff. after ksu frank went to usc,e and failed finishing 77-99 in sec play. he's now is 31-37 in the mid-american conference at umass.

colorado football is picked at the b12 bottom this year.

Huggins recruited six years' worth of players during the one year he spent at K-State?

That sure was nice of him.

I did not know that...that is also really impressive.

I also think people don't understand that Martin was a bad *** recruiter for Huggy.
delonte hill was huggins and martin's recruiter. he had ties to baltimore aau hoops through aau coach curtis malone. hill brought beasley and many others to frank martin's squad. when hill left for maryland and with it the baltimore connection, martin's classes started declining. his last class had but one of four youngsters who stayed four years.


Malone ran the AAU program that funneled Beasley, Dominique Sutton, Jamar Samuels, Rodney McGruder and Wally Judge to Manhattan.

When Huggins hired Hill to join his K-State staff, Beasley followed. When Huggins left and Martin was named head coach, Beasley decided to stay once Hill was promoted to associate head coach and made the highest-paid assistant in the country.

On March 31, 2012, Bruce Weber was announced as head coach after Frank Martin left for South Carolina. During the 2012–2013 season, Weber's first in Manhattan, Kansas State won its first regular season conference title since 1977 and advanced to the NCAA tournament.

And yet, the roster that Bruce Weber won a conference championship with in 2012-13 looks almost exactly like Martin's final K-State roster the year before. What are the dutiful K-Stater talking points that explain away that turn of events?
