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 K-State recruiting efforts as they hosted another major visitor weekend.

Apart from those on campus, Kansas State was also trying to win recruiting battles for those not in Manhattan. One of those was a defensive tackle considering K-State, Iowa and Cincinnati. It didn’t go the Wildcats’ way. Another defensive back target is trending elsewhere as well.

Defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman used a multi-year effort to reel in St. Louis safety Nick McClellan not long ago. He camped in Manhattan twice and also took an official visit not long ago to campus. Though he committed to the Wildcats, he visited Iowa afterwards.

Where do things stand with one of the newer K-State commits in the fold?

Two other targets still remaining on the board are safety Mason Lewis of Arizona and defensive end Tucker Ashford of Fort Worth. What is the likelihood that both pick Kansas State and which other schools are putting up a fight?

We provide a hint below of what’s inside.

  • Does Kansas State keep McClellan after Iowa visit?
  • Is Toray Davis still an option at safety?
  • Wildcats or Minnesota for Mason Lewis?
  • Latest on K-State target Tucker Ashford.
  • Why did the Wildcats come up short on Rulo?
