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.

Two pressing storylines have surfaced this week and both revolve around the K-State efforts on the basketball recruiting trail. On one hand, the transfer portal is open. That means they have to find new players and also attempt to keep those they want to keep on their own roster.

The prize for the Wildcats was Bennett Stirtz, but Kansas State missed. He’s going to follow his head coach from Drake, Ben McCollum, and be an Iowa Hawkeye. We discussed his recruitment leading up to that decision and the options he was weighing and why.

There will be other targets that pop up in the portal, of course, and K-State is positioned to be very competitive from a financial standpoint. That faucet has yet to be turned off, and it could help them with an international pool of prospects as well.

The Wildcats have coaches in Spain as we speak.

We also provide a hint of what is inside below.

  • International prospects being targeted by Kansas State.
  • Wildcats hunting for more portal options with Stirtz off the table.
  • Reasons why Stirtz elected to follow McCollum.
  • K-State coaches overseas.

That is just a taste of what can be found in our Kansas State recruiting content on a weekly basis throughout the calendar year. There has never been a better time to join the largest community of K-State fans on the internet that converse and discuss the Wildcats on a daily basis.
