Originally posted on kstateonline.com by Grant Flanders 1. Baylor It can be hard to rank a conference in the first week when almost every team in the league played cupcakes. However, there is no question in my mind that Baylor deserves to be at the top. The Bears handled their easy opponent more convincingly than anyone else in the Big 12. Dave Aranda’s squad put up almost 600 yards of total offense and held Albany to under 250 yards. Quarterback Blake Shapen was very efficient and they did a good job moving the chains on third downs. Baylor also rushed for over 250…

Originally posted on kstateonline.com by Jamie Shaw Hudson Greer averaged 11.5 points and 4.3 rebounds as a freshman at Austin (TX) Lake Travis High. The 6-foot-6 wing also shot 39 percent from three on 114 attempts for the season. “I get to the basket pretty well,” Greer told On3. “When the defense steps up I can hit the mid-range, and I shoot the three confidently. My handle developed this summer, and that makes the game so much easier. I watch a lot of Jayson Tatum, how he breaks down his defenders, and he can still pass out of it.” College coaches have…
Originally posted on kstateonline.com by Drew Galloway Kansas State has only offered one in-state prospect in the 2024 class, and it was defensive lineman BJ Canady of Topeka High in April. Who else could be on their radar? Salina Central defensive back Jameer Moore is someone to keep in mind. Moore possesses the height, length and speed the Wildcats look for in the secondary. He was also in attendance for K-State’s 34-0 shutout victory over South Dakota. “[The visit] was a great experience,” Moore said. “I visualized myself in their shoes and it felt really good.” Watching the Kansas State defense first-hand stood out…

After missing the entire year in 2021, he suffered an injury that will also keep him out for the rest of 2022. As head coach Chris Klieman accurately stated on Tuesday, sometimes the cruelest things happen to the best people. 2. NEW COMMIT: The Wildcats scored one of their biggest commitments of the 2023 recruiting cycle on Labor Day when defensive end Jordan Allen of Olathe South made the call. He picked K-State over Iowa, Iowa State, Missouri and USC. 3. RANDLE VISIT: After…
OFFENSIVE MVP: Deuce Vaughn The Kansas State All-American running back started the season right where he left off last year. It took Deuce Vaughn only 16 carries to earn his seventh consecutive 100-yard game dating back to last season. He finished with 18 carries for 126 yards and a score. The ground game was cooking all night for the Wildcats, as they finished with 297 yards rushing. On the first play from scrimmage, Malik Knowles took a jet sweep 75 yards to the house. Vaughn’s back-up DJ Giddens ran hard for 9.5 yards per carry and a touchdown Adrian Martinez also found pay dirt with his legs…
