Nuggets: No worries about Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson Nuggets on Kansas State (in terms of inside intel) is relegated to our message board at KSO but still spills out the best information on the Wildcats in the market. A number of topics have arose in the past week, including those surrounding both Avery Johnson and Dug McDaniel. Tennessee has parted ways with Nico Iamaleava.
