K-State Director of Recruiting Taylor Braet dropped the bat signal today, and I believe it *could* be tied to Wyoming commit Zashon Rich, who visited K-State recently.

Spoke with 2024 OL commit Ryan Howard yesterday following Will (his older brother)’s announcement that he was entering the portal.

He told me that he is still “firmly committed” to K-State, and planning to sign during December’s Early Signing Period.

Theirs been a lot of rumblings of a Will Howard transfer this week. I think it’s pretty set in stone that he is leaving Kansas State this year, just if he will enter the portal or go pro.

I have heard it could be as soon as today he announces.

Attended Tyler JC w/ K-State safety Kobe Savage. Had 52 receptions for 681 yards and 6 TDs.

This season, he finished with 41 receptions for 1,033 yards and 7 TDs. He had 8 rec. for 223 yards against FIU.

There are so many mentally unstable people running around. Yikes.

"Thankfully, social media has given many of them a public voice and followers as well"....

And as the perfect example we have a con man named trump.

There wasn’t a good shot of the bench tonight. Just wondering if he was there in street clothes.

Kansas State Basketball is back in action tonight as they take on the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles!

The game will tip off at 7:00 on Big 12 Now On ESPN+.

EMAW Online will be on hand for it all. Tune in for live updates as we get closer to game time and arrive at the stadium.

When Will is on, he's good. When he's off, we lose. I have no idea why Kleiman didn't put Avery in, and I don't buy that "didn't want to put a Freshman in a stressful situation". Howard could have easily had 4 interceptions tonight. When he is off, get him out of there! The same thing happened at OSU and a huge part of the squawks game.
In spite of our piss poor tackling and below-average play calling, we still could have won the game. That really sucked!

Feel good about our odds with this stud… EMAW! 😈

We've seen the post game interviews by Coach Klieman, and a number of players on the offensive side of the ball, but where is Joe Klanderman? Where are the interviews from him and his players? I'm a really poor arm chair quarterback, but even I gasped at Will Lee pushing the Iowa State guy toward the goal line!!! Doesn't help, I know, but I feel bad for the team....especially the guys that poured everything into winning, and still lost. Can we expect to get some reaction from Klanderman as to why his group played as though they wanted to be somewhere else? (Mrs. Ron)

It felt like the program reverted back to 1988 and everything that was built has been torn down.

It certainly feels like the coaching has regressed from last season, but how would you grade the coaching from Kansas State's staff in 2023?

Unfortunately, you can't do MULTIPLE polls, so treat this as a blanket for ALL coaching, including coordinators. In the comments, feel free to separate your picks for Klieman, Klein, and Klanderman.
