Nuggets 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. We don’t forget about training camp news and notes, but we talk a little K-State basketball as well.

Football comes first. Often the first few weeks of practice don’t come without a few nicks and dings along the way. That’s the case again in Manhattan with almost two weeks of camp in the books at this point.

We cover a few of the guys that have missed a bit of time, though it isn’t deemed serious.

Okay, time for some basketball tidbits. Guess who’s on campus? Both Elias Rapieque and Andrej Kostic.

They have been working out with the team and even participated in some of the scrimmage action against the K-State alumni team that was assembled that included guys like Barry Brown and Xavier Sneed.

What has been the initial feedback on the newest pair of Wildcats?

Kansas State has a lot of uncertainty in the frontcourt. Whether Tyreek Smith receives another year of eligibility is unknown, and there are a few spots to play with still if they wish to bolster that spot on the court. What are we expecting?
