It's 9:03 a.m. as Cayden Phillips begins to talk. He has a coaching staff meeting in 57 minutes at Tointon Family Stadium, but time isn't of the essence — not when you're recalling the start of the journey, that kid in Amarillo, Texas, who had no idea what was in store; not when you're recounting the drive up Interstate-35 and on to the Little Apple, the friendliness of coaches and players — the vibe — so contagious that they feel like old friends; and not when four years with the Kansas State baseball program nearly turns into five, except for the tug of a lifetime, the whisper inside his head, that it is, in fact, time to embark on the next chapter, so raw, as Phillips sniffles into his phone, wondering what those final words might be to K-State head coach Pete Hughes, who took Phillips in like a father, built him into a Big 12 Conference catcher.

Putting K-State on the National – and World – Map

For now, the Cliff Rovelto Indoor Track carries one heartbeat, as the rhythm of high-energy music fills the spacious, mostly empty, white-walled kingdom nestled on the corner of the Kansas State campus one afternoon earlier this week. To the side, six long flats of purple stadium bleachers, six rows of seating apiece hug a wall. Nearby, stacks of white hurdles with "Wildcats" written in purple script edge against the 200-meter, 6-lane oval, permanent banked track with Mondo's Super X 720 surface.

A Familiar Newness

There's a first for everything, and Josh Manning experienced his first K-State weight and conditioning session last Thursday while Jeremy Jacobs demonstrated to Kansas State players proper lifting technique, mechanics and fundamentals during his own debut as K-State's director of strength and conditioning. Then Manning ran sprints for the first time, and then he ran routes for the first time inside the indoor practice facility. Yes, everything appears new at the football program of which he's very familiar, the school Manning almost joined in 2022 before the native of Lee's Summit, Missouri, chose to stay close to home and begin his college football career with the Tigers.
