Wow, the Kansas State Wildcats brought in their best haul yet on both sides of the ball during the Klieman era today. To put things in perspective, Coach Klieman's inaugural 2019 class was ranked 68th by Rivals, the 2020 class was ranked 49th, the 2021 class was ranked 60th, the 2022 was ranked 50th, and the 2023 class is currently ranking 28th. That’s one heck of a jump in overall quality.
Turns out, upgrading your offensive coordinator and having a Big 12 Championship trophy helps recruiting. Things are cooking in Manhattan, and you normally don’t see Conference Championship dividends until the next recruiting class.
