Football and basketball are both in the mix for junior college prospects with immediate eligibility. Normally, I’d do two threads (one for each), but since they’re both JUCO guys, I’ll keep it to one thread.

BASKETBALL:
Had a few people mention that KSU is in the mix for Ellsworth (IA.) CC forward Mobi Ikegwuruka. Ikegwuruka was an NJCAA D2 All-American after averaging 19 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game. He originally hails from Ireland.

Super athletic player who best projects as a slasher at the next level. He’ll have 3 years of eligibility remaining.

Tyler JC LB Kaden McMahan was offered by K-State yesterday and he’s planning to visit this week. He’s visiting Iowa State first, and it looks like it will come down to those two programs.

A quote from he of the infamous bone spurs:

Donald trump declared during a campaign speech in Schnecksville Pa., that the Battle of Gettysburg-in which more than 50,000 Union and Confederate troops were killed or wounded-"was so beautiful in so many different ways".

Dylan Edwards high on the list:

Serena Sundell, Ayoka Lee, Rebekah Dallinger, and Gabby Gregory all graduated with a variety of degrees. Lee and Sundell are returning for an additional year of basketball.

First, there's someone on campus right now, but I can't quite confirm who that name is. I believe it's one of the first two names on this list, but it could be anyone, in theory.

Here are some names to watch for K-State in the portal, as Jerome Tang and his staff try and fill out their roster.

And, including names I hope K-State goes after, personally. Though, I don't know if there's been any real interest here:

Colbert, Ames & Jones still looking for a home…..also Kaluma?

Coaches in the 2026 class are unable to contact players directly — though, there are ways around this — but there’s a name to watch for K-State.

Alozie mentioned to our Rob Cassidy that he is planning on setting up a visit to K-State once coaches are officially allowed to contact him next month.

This one stings more than Cliff’s from today. K-State was once seen as a lock for Khalif Battle, but Gonzaga made a late rush and got the Arkansas transfer.

Why each transfer left. Were they pushed out? more money? playing time?

What is your best guess….because right now this looks like a mess

Jerrell Colbert and RJ Jones announced their transfer destinations today.

Colbert is headed to SMU in the ACC, marking his third school (LSU and K-State).

Jones is staying in the Big 12 and will transfer to TCU.
