What we’re hearing 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, both from a team and K-State recruiting standpoint.

It is also brought to you by Aer Lingus – which have the travel packages for you if you want to see Kansas State take on Iowa State in Ireland in 2025. Make sure to visit Cats2Ireland.com today and check out the opportunities.

K-State begins the football season this weekend, but that also means we can feel the recruiting heat all over again. Having five-star fever? You should be because there will be a five-star basketball and football recruit on campus.

Not only is the country’s No. 1 basketball prospect (regardless of class) and future 2026 top NBA Draft pick AJ Dybantsa visiting Manhattan this weekend, but so is five-star tight end commit Linkon Cure of Goodland in case anyone was actually worried about the Oregon rumors.

But we’re here to discuss Dybantsa a bit more and why he’s visiting Kansas State. We explain why the Wildcats are a legitimate contender for his services and can compete with the likes of BYU, Alabama and Kansas. Plus, an additional nugget on his visit and why his family is so high on Jerome Tang.

See the above? Kansas State assistant Jareem Dowling is applying a bit of hype to Macaleab Rich as he embarks on his sophomore year in Manhattan. Last year he couldn’t regularly crack the rotation, but we knew about and discovered that high-flying dunk ability.

Is he untapping more in his game?
