Chris Klieman brings fresh approach, firepower to K-State football recruiting

The pictures of Kansas State football coach Chris Klieman visiting with six different recruits in three different states over the weekend came as a welcome sight to anyone who has followed the Wildcats in recent years.

Bill Snyder left campus to recruit so rarely during his final seasons that it was considered major news whenever it happened.

That won’t be the case with Klieman, who was hired last week from North Dakota State. It’s obvious he values recruiting more than his predecessor, and he is already showing it. His efforts helped K-State hang on to the majority of its longtime commitments and add enough new ones to sign 15 recruits on Wednesday.
