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.

A fun exercise to do was examining the performances of the five lowest-ranked high school recruits that signed with K-State under head coach Chris Klieman. How many earned their lackluster ranking and how many over-achieved?

What about the studs and the gems of each class? The Wildcats have also signed some jewels the last few cycles, particularly Avery Johnson, Jordan Allen, Asa Newsom, Will Lee, Gus Hawkins, Linkon Cure, Noah King, Larry Porter, Brock Heath, Kaedin Massey, Trae Davis, Tobi Osunsanmi and Andrew Leingang.

After combing through class after class under Klieman and determining which prospects either under-performed or over-performed their ranking, we assess which recruiting cycles came through for the Wildcats the most.
