Our Kansas State buzz comes via a message board post at KSO and digs into all sorts of relevant topics in Wildcat land. We’re going to keep the status quo and cover the Wildcats’ recruiting efforts as they hosted another major visitor weekend.

A significant prospect on campus was K-State safety target Mason Lewis of Arizona. He’s held the Wildcats in high regard for quite a while. Kansas State was even thought to be the leader for an extended period of time. Is that still the case?

Kansas City area standout DeZephen Walker was one of the outstanding ball-carriers on the K-State campus over the weekend. He’s thought to be heavily pursued by Nebraska as well, and Oklahoma may be lurking. What is the latest?

Kansas State also hosted one of their top defensive tackle targets in Poe Purcell from Las Vegas. He is a newer prospect on the board, but did assistant Mike Tuiasosopo and K-State do enough to turn his head and convince him to play his college football in Manhattan?
