Incidentally, the man No. 1 on the list, Southern California's Pete Carroll, visited East High and Northwest High last week along with assistant coach Ken Norton. The duo, accompanied by Butler, watched film and made a point of passing by and being seen by Arthur Brown and Chris Harper, with whom college coaches can't have direct contact.
We're not getting the Brown brothers. It's crazy to even think that we are. Harper, maybe.
"We have to keep in mind, this isn't ku. This is K-State. You have to create your own momentum."
Looking ahead to 2008 -- Keep an eye on Marcus Denmon and Ray Shipman. Plus, according to Scout.com basketball recruiting coordinator Dave Telep, Willie Warren, Kenny Kadji and Wes Witherspoon bear following.
Shipman said Martin mentioned the possibility of landing another Florida prospect, IMG Academy forward Kadji, a 6-foot-10 forward with potential. With Warren, no one knows for sure whether his interest is sincere, but the 6-foot-7 Witherspoon -- according to Telep -- is under the impression he is one of K-State's top targets, and he's apparently flattered.
I think it's difficult for TL that, for two years running, KSt8 has garnered more bball headlines in the 'off-season'. Now, the only activity on Phog deals with the NBA or Kst8.
