He recently released a top 8 that included K-State. Oklahoma is the early favorite but these things can change, and K-State will remain in the fold.

K-State put out a statement about Cam Carter and Dorian Finister officially entering the portal. That statement included a quote from Jerome Tang:

“We are thankful for all the hard work and dedication that Cam and Dorian gave to our program the past two seasons. They both played significant roles in helping us win 45 games and advance to consecutive postseason appearances, including the Elite Eight in 2023. They will forever be Wildcats and we wish them the best as they move forward in their playing careers.”

In his post-game press conference, head coach Jeff Mittie mentioned that Ayoka Lee would announce her decision (NBA Draft or return) sometime soon and that it could come as early as next week.

Lee has one more year of eligibility, if she chooses to use it.

Tip-off is just moments away, as K-State will host Colorado with a trip to Albany and the Sweet 16 on the line. Game will air on ESPN at the conclusion of the Duke-OSU game.

I’ve heard there is some mutual interest between UIC transfer CJ Jones and Kansas State, and it seems the Wildcats are the favorites to land Jones.


His stats are a little underwhelming, but watching film on him shows he has tons of potential. He’s got good size as a guard and is extremely athletic.

Totally thought I posted this earlier, but I guess it didn't process.

K-State holds an early lead over Portland, with Serena Sundell taking over to start the contest.

Can confirm the reports that Cam Carter has entered the transfer portal. Averaged 14.6 points per game last season.

K-State will be able to use the scholarship via the transfer portal (or high school recruitment)

Just got off the phone with 2025 LB Weston Polk, who K-State has been recruiting for a while (they were his first P5 offer).

I get the sense that K-State is very much one of, if not, the team to beat for Polk. He's taking his second visit to TCU this weekend, and Iowa State will also get one, but K-State has kept a great relationship with Polk.

I'm not going to set a FutureCast quite yet because he's mentioned that he's still taking the recruitment slow and I don't think this is near the finish line, but I would classify them as the favorites as of today, March 21.

As the tournament gets underway, although the Cats aren't in, why not open up some dialogue about what is going on in the tournament?

Just got off the phone with 2025 WR Leo Almanza about his unofficial visit to K-State yesterday.

He mentioned that he locked in an official visit with K-State yesterday for June, which is a good sign for Kansas State.

I'll have an entire article recapping his visit out tomorrow AM, but I wanted to pass along this note so you folks could hear it first.

I think Tang and staff did another decent job of assembling a roster this season. However, there were so many things that happen both on and off the court that cost them wins.:

Losing Tomlin & Glover prior to opener

Final moments at Tech

TCU's last second 3 heavily guarded

Obviously we benefited from some good fortune as well with 7 ot wins. Yet there is little doubt that the sloppy and inconsistant play was too much to overcome.
