Kade headed to KSU

[inWV]

 

[NebChicago]

Yay!

 

[Husker Hambone]

Ok, good for him!

 

[Harry Caray]

As a walk-on? I can't imagine a Power 5 team giving him a scholarship, based on his lack of production and history of injuries.

His head either swelled to a size 9 or K-State really needs a new Photoshop department.

Who?

Unnecessarily nasty, very predictable and routine.

Relax, Skippy. I doubt that Warner created the Twitter graphic. Whoever did, needs a refresher course.

 

[Huskertransplant]

Walk on or scholarship I think this is great for Kade. He wants to coach.....and B12 experience as a player wont hurt.

I think the KSU coach and Kurt Warner played together at Northern Iowa.

Calm down Kurt

sans stache?

They might have been going for the Willie the Wildcat mascot look.

Good luck young man!! Hope you kill it.

 

[steinek11]

Good luck little buddy. Look those passes all the way in and you'll be okay.

 

[Redscarlet]

Good place for him..
Good Luck!

 

[salsa red]

He was a great teamate but he was not clutch. How many TDs did he drop?

 

[WestCoastCornhusker2]

Sad thing is, that KState would still beat us even with Kade starting, coaching matters.

 

[HoosierinNebraska]

I bet what sold him on KSU was the power towel

Coach Klieman was a UNI grad assistant when Warner played there, thus the connection to his son, Kade.

Dang. We are gong to lose our important mustache mojo.

They had a weird year last year. Beat OK but pummeled by Iowa state and Texas. Lost to ark state. Nice wins in other parts of schedule.

Covid ripped the season apart. 40 players missed the Arky State game and then after beating OU in Norman, Skylar Thompson was taken out for the season v. TxT. The Cats should be pretty salty this fall with five good transfers, Thompson back for his final year, and Deuce Vaughn at running back. Year three is when coach Klieman's hire will be judged. That's this fall.

Honestly it’s the background of his pads being purple on purple. It makes his pads look skinny.

Either that, or the last guy to wear #81 at K-State was like 4'11" and weighed 125.

Martin Gramatica wore #10.

There's no shame losing to Arkansas State. They are the best team in Arkansas by a mile.

As ANY Power 5 head football coach should be....

they ended up having to play a true freshman QB for most of the year and he didn't have a spring season. he literally had only practice for several weeks with the team before having to take over for the rest of the season. It was not pretty.
Klieman says they needed some leadership at the WR position group. They have struggled with consistency and turnover at that position. He believes Kade will show their current players how to practice and behave.
Seems like a wasted scholarship to me but apparently Klieman thinks they need someone to model good behavior.

The post noted the impact of COVID on the KSU football team this past year. Other posters have also noted the impact that injuries to their QB had on their win loss record. Obviously not having young players (QB in this case) there for spring ball and not having a normal fall practice situation can influence outcomes. There can be extenuating circumstances beyond a coach's control that can impact how we should judge a coach in year 3.

Klieman's WRs are expected to block and be in the right place. Kade will fit in there.
