Well, we’ve got a lot to catch up on. Maybe we should get back to dropping the Slate more than once a week.... ;-)

Last week, Jerome Tang officially announced that Rodney Perry had been hired to fill the final assistant coach spot on Tang’s inaugural staff at K-State.
Perry had long been expected to be the third assistant, but delayed joining the staff until his summer season with both his academy team (Link Academy in Branson) and his AAU team (MOKAN Elite) were finished. Oh, and those two teams had great seasons, with Link Academy finishing as the national runner-up at the GEICO National Tournament, going 34-2 in just their first season, and MOKAN Elite taking the championship (their 3rd overall) at the prestigious Nike Peach Jam that concluded the Sunday before Perry’s announcement as coach.
