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. And while football season is approaching, realignment is back in the news.

It is a bit of a bummer to have to cover possible conference expansion during the first game week of the year, but here we are and duty calls. The Big 12 is rumored to be back in deep talks with UConn about potentially joining the league.

I share what I know on that front and how likely that is to unfold.

Ok, back to football.

According to our sources, two K-State players had fantastic finishes to the preseason practices in August. That part is over and game-planning and preparation for UT-Martin has begun, but we shine a light on a Kansas State offensive player and defensive player that made a late charge.

Running back distribution was already going to be an interesting topic and detail to follow this season. It probably becomes even more of that since DJ Giddens was a bit limited throughout training camp. Easing him back into things slowly makes sense.
