What we’re hearing 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, both from a team and K-State recruiting standpoint.

It is also brought to you by Aer Lingus – which have the travel packages for you if you want to see Kansas State take on Iowa State in Ireland in 2025. Make sure to visit Cats2Ireland.com today and check out the opportunities.

Summer basketball workouts at K-State are coming to a close in the near future with classes about to begin in just a short time. It’s that time of year despite much of the roster not being together all at once for very long.

As noted, Elias Rapieque and Andrej Kostic just got to campus not long ago. But who among the Kansas State players that did spend the summer in Manhattan has really stood out? We have that intel and insight.

It is also the first full offseason with Matt Driscoll and Bill Peterson coaching for the Wildcats. Driscoll was the head coach at North Florida prior to arriving in Manhattan, but he worked with Jerome Tang at Baylor just like Peterson (who is a long-time college and NBA assistant).

What are the first impressions?

Even with Rapieque and Kostic making it to Manhattan in late July, the K-State roster is likely not completely finished at this point. There’s still questions to answer, like if Tyreek Smith will be eligible and if they can add another player for the frontcourt.
