Comments 1 comment

K-State Head basketball coach Jerome Tang is still slowly but surely making waves recruiting. Derrion Reid, a 2024 Top 40 player, is on campus in Manhattan for a visit Tuesday. While that may bode well for the 2024 season, putting together a full roster for the 2023 season remains a priority.

K-State athletic director Gene Taylor made a public announcement this week that he is working on contract extensions and raises for head football coach Chris Klieman and head basketball coach Jerome Tang. Based on how their teams performed this past season, they both deserve contract extensions (at the very least) along with raises. It did beg the question of where these two coaches’ salaries rank compared to their peers in the league. So I looked up the salaries of all…

From The Couch – NFL Draft And Basketball Recruiting Buzz

Comments 0 Comment

The NFL draft in Kansas City is rapidly approaching and there are a few K-Staters creating quite the buzz. Jerome Tang and his basketball staff are also hitting the transfer portal hard. Here’s the latest…. JM: For the past couple of seasons I’ve thought that Felix Anudike-Uzomah is a no-brainer first round pick. It looks like at least some people agree with me. JM: If any team passes on Felix late in the first round, they may be making a…
