Coach Weber moment that will stick in my mind for long time is taking my HS boys to

Some really high praise from Jerome Tang on freshman guard David Castillo:
"David Castillo's maturity, and his approach, is different. You would not know that he's a freshman...
I walk out of the gym all the time, and I'm wondering how I'm not going to start him...
What he's
Each team situation is different, but I’m glad
@KStateMBB
accepted the bid to the NIT. Next play, next possession, next right thing. How you respond in the midst of adversity and disappointment shows the true character of a man. All coaches preach it...

Big 12 the morning I said after the game
@KStateMBB
needed to say “I did.” I did get that rebound. I did make that play. I did shoot with confidence. Game over. All of them can say I DID! Hats off to the coaches for instilling the confidence all year.

Quick life update…More than thankful for my time serving and leading

over the past decade. Very tough decision but I’m excited for whatever the next chapter may bring.

The 6-1 junior does not have a final list of schools, but Kansas, Kansas State, and Oklahoma State are among those in contention.

Tickets are on sale now to see Purple Reign (Wichita Session 1 on July 20th is Round 1) -
David Castillo followed up yesterday’s strong showing with an impressive session this morning.
Led his team to the 3v3 championship and was in 1v1 finals.
Kansas State pledge among one of the best guards here.
1-0 in game 1 of “5 to grind.” Need the next two games vs. WVU and Cincy to get back to .500 in the conference. Then we go on the road at KU and home ISU.

First guy that gave me a hug when I showed up on campus in 2004. I didn’t know that would be the first of many as he always greeted me with a hug and smile. Great man who loved all things KSU. Big time legend that will be missed.

@ClentStewart

staff & have some fun reflecting on Clent’s time at KSU.
Turnovers and Cincy points off of them hurt us. No other choice but to head into Lawrence in the biggest bounce back game of the season with KU senior night and KU coming off back to back losses. Primetime Tuesday with a lot at stake for both teams…
Excited to announce the Friday Shoot Around — a weekly video show discussing K-State hoops hosted by myself and former Wildcat

All episodes will be available on GoPowercat’s YouTube channel & all podcasting platforms.
I was a little nervous…then it went to OT and I calmed down. 😏 2-0 in the last 5 to grind must win games. Need 4 out 5 minimum…

"He's by far the best one and done season of any player in the one and done era."
Probably shed more tears today than I have since my mom passed. Didn’t realize an icon/legend affected me the way Kobe did. I guess it makes sense since my 12 year old dog is named...Kobe. As I think about my wife and 3 kids, it hit me that I’m their Kobe. Love your close ones!
Stew I still 🙏🏼for her regurlarly. I remember that as if it were yesterday. I will always b thankful for your trust in me during my first yr as a head coach. Miss u brother
