About this episode

The episode discusses Kansas State Wildcats' football and basketball prospects, focusing on predictions and recruiting developments.

Kansas State Wildcats projected for just seven football wins? ESPN’s FPI sparks controversy with an 8th-place Big 12 finish, triggering debate about the real strength of the Wildcats’ schedule and the SEC’s dominance in preseason analytics. Can Avery Johnson and Collin Klein squad outperform computer projections, or will tough games against Arizona, Oklahoma State, and TCU define their season? The discussion explores Kansas State Basketball’s recruiting momentum, spotlighting the commitment of four-star prospect Cameron Cooper and the new approach under coach Casey Alexander. On the women’s side, Jeff Mittie revamps his staff, aiming for NCAA Tournament contention with a retooled 12-player roster and a challenging non-conference slate featuring NC State and Villanova. Are these moves enough for a breakthrough year in Manhattan? Photo Credit: William Purnell - IMAGN Go AD Free and More with the Everydayer's Club!
