If you can imagine from Linkon Cure's mind the mere fact his first experience with the K-State program will be in Ireland. That alone has to be very impressive.
Shoot i didn’t even think about that. The opportunity to go to Ireland and play football on a national stage would be outstanding! Great point brother!
KSTATE is the number ~#22 program by many metrics, sliced over many different time periods going back as far as 1992. They have 3 B12 titles and have six 11 win seasons since ‘98. That makes them a Big Time program in my book! EMAW
Without question. Speaks volumes to see NFL head coaches call Klieman to ask about specific players. Believe Reid did for Felix and had some conversations with the staff!
I believe Linken Cure is coming to us , Klieman is building a very strong program! They'll be good this year, and better next year. The future looks bright for the Cats!
I think there is a 70% chance he commits this weekend or shortly thereafter. I think he and his fam are tired of traveling around the country for OV's. He is ready to focus on his Sr year. Plus I think location is a huge factor for K- State. Oregon is 18 hours away and A&M is a flight away. Cure will lead K- State in receiving as a Soph with the coaches strategically lining him up all over the LOS to get the biggest mismatch.
I fully acknowledge K-State should be the favorite to land Cure but I also think K-State folks are really overlooking this modern Kansas program and how they utilize their TE’s in their offense and how important it may be to play with his brother.
Yeah, I think Kansas is definitely on the recruiting come up, but with Cure specifically the idea of “how they use their TE’s” is a little tough to sell on after losing an incredible OC like AK. Not saying K-State didn’t make a change but since it was an internal hire for the position the system likely won’t change much. Also on that front, K-State just got Sinnott to the league as a second round pick after walking on. Think Kansas will take some prospects from the Cats at some point, but Cure doesn’t feel like there’s much of an alley to head to Lawrence imo. Would also wonder about the logistics of competitions with his brother for playtime considering he’s younger and may upstage Leyton at times. Not saying them playing together isn’t something that wouldn’t be cool, but I’m not sure it’s as big of a selling point to make up much ground.
@@JoeTillery all valid points but as far as KSU goes what is the perk of Avery recruiting him? If Avery is as good as advertised he shouldn’t be at KSU past his junior season which means Cure will only play with him as a freshmen.
@@cjboyer4355 brother that’s not the way this works. Avery is willingly choosing to stay at KSU and be a part of the change. He’s recruiting because he’s the future of K-State, has a similar path, and is a huge recruiting tool. Wouldn’t look further than that. It’s similar as to why I’d have Jalon Daniels recruiting skill positions because he’s the face of the program and a model of what each player can become. It kinda would be like leaving your Ferrari in the garage and using a Kia soul to recruit just because the Ferrari won’t be there in the future. Not sure if that makes sense but if you have em, use em
@@JoeTillery no I get that for sure and I know we used Daniels when he came to KU I’m just hearing a lot of people saying playing with Avery is a big selling point for KSU and that never made a lot of sense to me.
Great question! I don’t have any insight on it but I can give you my guesses. Would bet it’s 5 people, Avery, Austin Moore, DJ Giddens or Dylan Edwards (basically depends on if DJ feels like talking or not imo), Marquis Sigle, and Des Purnell. Jayce Brown or Keegan Johnson could go too but we’ll have to see! Thanks for the question!

Absolutely Jeff, I agree! Thanks for watching and thanks for providing some stats!
Great point how we are a proven path to the NFL. And NFL coaches know how well-coached our players are. NFL coaches respect our program.

Absolutely! Can’t wait to see the man cooking in purple! Go Cats!
Great video as always Joe! Appreciate all your work
Thanks so much brother! Glad to do it!
I think there is a good chance I would love for this to happen joe
Me too my friend! Keeping my fingers crossed today!
Colbert hills w AJ and the head coach? SIGN ME UP
Has to be locked in after that! What a pitch man I’m excited to see what happens!
I am super excited to find out where he’s going but nervous. A 5 star would be huge for our brand
Valid feelings, always understandable to be nervous, I’m hoping we hear about his decision before too long. Fingers crossed my friend!
If only Linkon could know how powerful the culture is in Manhattan….there’d be know other choice than K-State.
I think he has a good feeling about our culture. Hope he makes the right call on it!
Joe you’re the GOAT
Still reppin’ Chef 2024!
Yes he will be!
You said it! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the update.
Not a problem my friend! Thanks so much for watching!
He’s going to be a top NFL TE draft pick IF he goes to KSU. It’s that simple.
Absolutely brother. I think you’re spot on with that!
I believe he will be a Cat as well!! Not positive but I think he will be the first 5 star to commit to kstate ever!
I think you’re right my friend! Will be interesting to see what happens! Thanks for watching!
Great content and insight. U have any idea who will be going to football media days?

Deuce SHOULDA come back for another year
Honestly, wouldn’t have been a bad call for
him, but shoot, he’ll figure out his way. He’s too good not to imo. Thanks for watching!
Under Chris klieman you can see how well he uses TE!! Linkon Cure would be a perfect fit for Kansas state!
Absolutely my friend!! You hit the nail on the head!
It's Saturday; no?
It is lol I’m stupid. Realized as I was editing I had that wrong. My bad lmao
K-State has never had a 5* per 247, and most of the top recruits of all-time were under Prince if you can believe it. Getting Cure would be huge.
Kinda wild to think about to be honest. Would love to see Cure be the guy!
Go cats
Yessir brother! Can’t wait to see them take the field!
EMAW
Yessir brother!
