Recruiting Scoop: Impact of Conor Riley leaving Kansas State
Our Kansas State recruiting scoop moving forward will now be via a message board post at KSO and sponsored by our friends at MyPerfectFranchise.net. We thank them for their partnership and supporting the Wildcats and our site at On3.
Though recruiting information has been a bit sparse, developments are ongoing. Not only did the K-State coaches visit a lot of their top targets the last few weeks and conduct in-home visits with them, but a few prospects surfaced worth following.
We highlight one today that has something in common with the first Kansas State commit of the class – he’s also from Texas. Learn more about a potential lean to the Wildcats that plays on the defensive side of the ball.

The biggest storyline worth monitoring actually is associated with the latest coaching change in Manhattan. Conor Riley was hired away by the Dallas Cowboys to coach the offensive line under Brian Schottenheimer.
So, K-State needed a new offensive coordinator. They also need a new offensive line coach. One of those duties has already been satisfied. Replacing Wells at the controls of the Wildcat offense will be quarterbacks coach Matt Wells.
