Recruiting Scoop: Details on Edwards picking Kansas State

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.

We dip into the football and basketball waters with this particular feature but begin with more reactions and details about Dylan Edwards finding his way to K-State after entering the transfer portal. The Wildcats were the pick over Georgia, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Nebraska and UCLA.

Everyone knows that being a legacy and having his father Leon Edwards play at Kansas State was a pull. His friendship with Avery Johnson was clearly a factor as well. But were some of the other influences that led him to K-State?

Edwards left Boulder because he was looking for something different than what was being provided at Colorado by Deion Sanders and company. What was he hoping to find and how did K-State meet those needs?

It is fair to call the recruitment of Rutgers big man Clifford Omoruyi the most dramatic one of the transfer cycle. Thus far he has made visits to Georgetown and Kansas State and is about finished with a trip to Tuscaloosa to check out Alabama.

Are the Crimson Tide a slam dunk? Are the Wildcats in the thick of it?

We know that Kansas State is hosting Kennesaw State defensive tackle transfer Carlos Allen for a visit. But another name has emerged as a possibility as well. Two middle linebacker targets have visited Manhattan. Which one is more likely?
