I was texting Terrence Lewis yesterday, and he told me that he will not be visiting K-State officially during the summer.

Doesn’t appear like this is a concern for K-State but rather how Lewis is playing his recruitment.

Two dates to watch for any commitment. July 22nd is the currently scheduled date, but he may push that back to Christmas.

K-State is in a good spot with Lewis, and might even be the favorites in his recruitment. They’ve been after him for a LONG time. If I were to place a FutureCast, it wouldn’t be until a few weeks before his commitment.

From USA Today:

Royals: Legit​

We signaled our belief in these cats a few days ago, and they since went out and swept a division rival while knocking off the best pitcher in the AL to date. There simply comes a time when a team on the rise gets over the hump of conviction, which only makes them play even better.

The Royals are there, and with some vital signs that look encouraging for sustainability.

Of note: They rank fourth in the majors in runs but just 16th in home runs, with 52. You might say power doesn’t disappear, but it can slump, and with MVP candidates Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez blanketed by a contact-conscious lineup that ranks No. 2 in fewest strikeouts, the Royals are a tough out every night.

Naturally, their pitching’s staying power may tell all, but that Seth Lugo is pitching like an All-Star and Cole Ragans keeps taking steps toward acehood means a significant piece of that is in place.
