I’ve been waiting to write this article for a while. Y’all are still in the Coach Tang honeymoon period, and after what Kansas State basketball fans have endured over the last three seasons, I felt no reason to slightly mist on the parade. Our esteemed leader touched on this topic in the Slate today, so I thought it might be a good time to write about it.
Gutting the roster might raise Kansas State’s ceiling over the next few seasons, but it also significantly lowers the floor. It’s a gamble, and Coach Tang is going to need to hit pretty much all of his talent evaluations and production projections for it to work.
