Kansas State and Indiana battling it out for him:

Arthur, if you just happen to see this.....there isn't anywhere like the K-State fans shouting your name after one of your red hot baskets!!! We hope you will return to finish out your college days at K....S....U, you know you'll always be a Wildcat. See ya.....EMAW.....Mrs. Ron

Looks like Evansville’s the second closest at 8 1/2 hours….. then maybe, Texas A&M? 13 hours plus

IF the Batcats could make it to Omaha… They would own that stadium

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump may be in trouble with voters after his felony conviction last week, a new poll finds, as nearly half of Americans think he should drop out of the 2024 race.

A new ABC News/Ipsos poll conducted between May 31 and June 1 found that 49% of respondents think Trump should end his campaign as a result of the Manhattan jury's verdict. Some 37% said he shouldn’t drop out and 14% say they didn't know.

The former president was found guilty last Thursday on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels.

The poll also found that 50% of respondents think Trump’s guilty verdict in the hush money case was correct while 27% believe it was wrong. Another 23% said they “don’t know” if the verdict was correct or not.

K-State has added to their roster for next season with the addition of Kentucky center Ugonna Onyenso. Onyenso was one of the best rim protectors last season, averaging 2.8 blocks per game last season. He also averaged 3.6 points and 4.8 rebounds per contest.

Onyenso will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.

For what it's worth, Onyenso is the only visit I know of. It's possible there's another one (they have brought players in on "secret" visits in the past), but Onyenso is the only one that I can confirm. I suspect Watkins could visit in the future, too

How 'bout them Cats!! A nail biter at the end!

Hurray for trump,
Hurray at last,
Hurray for trump,
He's a horse's ass!

Lock him up!

Play SEMO @ 6 for the Championship of that regional. SEMO upset Arkansas,

Took the air out of Baum-Walker stadium and hasn’t been back since. Hagen Smith is the #1 pitching prospect in the country. No Homers since March.

Looks like a funeral there right now

Go cats! And let’s book that Supers!!!!

IMG Academy WR Adonis Moise recently moved his official visit up to this weekend (he was set to visit June 21, originally), and it appears that is a good sign for K-State.

I expect Moise to end up at K-State in the end. And I think it could happen fairly soon following his OV.

The Big 12 will distribute $470 million in revenue, a record amount, the league announced on Friday. Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark said the league’s 10 original members will see “some dilution” from their shares as the conference phased in newcomers Houston, Cincinnati, BYU and UCF. The new schools each received $18 million this year and are scheduled to receive $19 million next year. The league grows again in the upcoming school year with the addition of former Pac-12 schools Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah. Texas and Oklahoma will become SEC members in the next school year. All Big 12 schools will receive full shares from the conference starting in 2025-26, a figure that is expected to be around $50 million per school, according to CBSSports.com Last year, the Big 12 distributed $440 million to its 10 schools, which ranked the per-school distribution third among the power conferences, behind the Big Ten and SEC

Waiting…..espn+ game

There are some changes to the itinerary for K-State’s OVs next weekend:

-First, IMG Academy (Fla.) WR Adonis Moise is moving his official visit up to next weekend. He was originally set to visit on June 21.

Could be as minor as a scheduling fix, but K-State is in an excellent position for Moise. His recruitment is fairly quiet but I think K-State will get this over the finish line in due time.

-2025 DT Jackson Blackwell told me that he is visiting K-State next weekend. He was offered by the Wildcats just a few days ago, so there’s obviously enough interest to immediately set a visit.

Truthfully, I can’t tell you where the Cats stand in this recruitment. It’s shaping up to be a Big 12 battle for Blackwell, and K-State will be in the mix for him.

After the NBA Draft withdrawal deadline, there's another wave of transfer portal action that K-State will take advantage of, especially with two open spots remaining on their roster.

Normally, this would be a notebook, and I might turn it into one tomorrow, but this is what I know (as of right now)...

Visitor
-Kentucky transfer Ugonna Onyenso will be visiting K-State next week, likely early in the week. Onyenso averaged 3.6 points and 4.8 rebounds per game last season but was one of the best rim protectors in the country.

I heard North Carolina was interested in him at one point, but I'm not sure where they stand right now. Same with Louisville, who has open roster spots and NIL available. K-State will be competitive in this recruitment but I'm not ready to say they're favorites or what sort of momentum they have.

Kaluma update
-Arthur Kaluma also didn't stay in the NBA Draft, choosing to continue his college career.

I don't know where K-State stands in this, but I know there was some momentum previously that he would return to K-State for his final season of eligibility. Honestly, I don't want to give you guys any firm answer because I truly don't know where he stands in his recruitment, and if he plans on taking other visits.

K-State will go after another wing or big guard it appears, which would open up the door for AK.

Sorry for the lack of articles today, working on bigger pieces for tomorrow — including an interview with Aniya Foy.

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.
