We've had an avalanche of content here. Yesterday, it was three days to kickoff, so BracketCat led off with two #3s, linebacker D'Vonta Derricott, and Jack Cantele, hero. BracketCat also analyzed the depth chart for week 1, including a few surprises. Kitchen cooked up some game week musings, with Charlie Weis: Nap Whisperer, and the Look-Ahead Rewind takes on our most anticipated non-conference opponent in recent memory, Auburn. KSUEMAW! broke big recruiting news: three-star point guard Barry Brown has committed to the 2015 class. Finally, a reminder that the Week 1 storystream is up!
Redshirt freshman Will Geary has cracked the depth chart at defensive tackle, and his weight-lifting records suggest "freak." The Top 25 Bill-ing retrospective ends with No. 25 and coverage of K-State's emphatic win over Michigan in the BWW Bowl last season. Here's Kevin Haskin's take, and Ken Corbitt celebrates the end of K-State's bowl drought. Fansided's KC Kingdom says K-State has to be ready right out of the gate, or this is going to be a long season. Kellis Robinett notes that Will Davis has a tough act to follow at middle linebacker, but he's well prepared and ready for the challenge. Our purple cousins at Frogs O'War predict the conference, with the Week 0 Big 12 Power Rankings, and in a case of Kool-Aid even more purple than ours, they have TCU at the #1 spot. Hope springs eternal, at least before the first kickoff. Vavel USA has its own Preseason Top 25 rankings, with K-State at No. 21. For your daily dose of possible DISRESPECT, look no further than their suggestion that K-State may only have pride on the line by the time the Baylor game rolls around.
K-State track-and-field boasts new staff members, Dason Phelps and Boglarka Davies, and Karol Rovelto steps into a new role. She was previously director of track and field operations.
