May 02, 2025 | Football
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman met with members of the media on Friday inside the Vanier Family Football Complex after the Wildcats wrapped up spring practices last week. Links to video and audio of Klieman's press conference – which was streamed live on ESPN+ – are above. A transcript of Klieman's opening statement is below.
CHRIS KLIEMAN, HEAD COACH
Opening Statement…
"Good morning, everyone. The guys on our team are in a discretionary week, lifting on their own as we get into dead week and finals. So, we're cleaning some things up, just having some meetings with some guys before they depart for a short period of time because we start to come back Memorial Day because of our early start to summer. So, things are winding down here with our guys, and they get away for a little bit. The coaches are on the road recruiting. I was at AFCA Board of Trustees the last few days in Arizona. We're still waiting on a lot of things to do there based on House settlement, which we really don't have much to talk about there until that's done. We're finishing up recruiting. We're getting prepared for 2026 official visits. May has become a really busy month, and I think as we try to redo the calendar, it's going to be even more busy."
