Nuggets on Kansas State (in terms of inside intel) is relegated to our message board at KSO but still spills out the best information on the Wildcats in the market. Two games remain on the K-State schedule, but there’s no question that they are searching for solutions and fixes to get back in the Big 12 title mix.

Because everyone is aware that he does not intend to coach well into old age, a question arises around this time every year about whether Chris Klieman will continue coaching. It is especially relevant this year with Kansas State 5-5 and the stock of Collin Klein rising.

What are we hearing on that front and the plans moving forward?

Another element to each offseason is which players will turn pro early and which ones will enter the name in the transfer portal. Different from the last few years, the transfer portal does not open until January 2 this time and will remain open for just two weeks total.

Klieman dug into the future outlook of Austin Romaine, and we provide information we’ve collected on a few others.
