Make that 2 for the oline

Both with several good P4 offers. Wouldn’t be shocked if both are 4* by the end of the recruiting cycle

Picked up a transfer commit from a post from Duke. Barely played last year but was a 4* top 100 in last years class

Track Cats snubbed the KU Relays and went out to Oregon's elite Hayward Field for the weekend. Boss move.

After stealing their 3x All-American is double boss

Looking at stats… Aussie who was the top sub for Stanford. Shot .493! (30-69) from 3 and just over 50% overall. Was a high volume scorer at Santa Clara as a Fr & So. Looks like she may have been more of a primary ball handler there also as she had 167 assists as a So vs 35 this past year.

She dropped to the 1st pick of the 3rd round to Seattle. Taking heads seem to think she’s a good fit there, plus her brother being on the Seahawks makes for a cool storyline.

Mittie just dropped the Mittie signal so hopefully some good news coming soon

Sanchez in the portal also. So right now the roster is Sides, the 4 freshmen, Parks and Hess (coming off surgery), and the big from VT. Hopefully Taylor gets another year because that’s still only 9

Lester in the portal...

I "think" that means we're down to 9 players for next year assuming no other transfers.

Mittie's got some work to do...

Had a big from VT commit yesterday that probably equals out Lester

Jasmine Shavers, a 5-8 junior guard, recently entered the transfer portal out of Texas Tech. She averaged 14.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game this season. Sources told On3 that there are two programs that have separated themselves from the pack in this one – Kansas State and Florida State.

Ok, yea, would take. Don’t remember her specifically playing against the Cats but saw her play in high school and thought she was a future stud

Anyone have an on3 subscription? Is our bit anything notable?

We definitely need a big in the portal, we can’t replace Yokie with one player but hopefully Taylor + Lester/Sanchez improvement + portal big can = adequate

On the positive side of things, just landed another 4*, top 100 recruit for next year

Crazy stats in this game...

10 ksu offensive rebounds... zero second chance points

20 layup/point blank attempts for ksu... 10 misses

5 3-pt makes for ksu... haven't had fewer than 8 in more than a month

I still have awful flashbacks about Mittie's coaching, but he ran circles around TCU with both his offensive and defensive game plans.

We make 5 more of those bunnies and we win by 20... without Yoki.

The second half (other than that one stretch to start the 4th), just felt like Sundell decided to make sure everyone knew that even with Yoki is out, K-State still has the best player in the conference.

Admittedly I haven’t watched much of the other teams in the conference, but from the little I’ve seen I think we’re still the best team in the conference even without Lee

Glad some of you remember those stories of her high school days too and I wasn’t completely senile.

I definitely remember a few games we were blowing teams out and Deb would empty the bench but leave Ohlde in and have her run point. Considering how most female posts played at that time it was definitely a sight to see

To clarify I predict Edwards has the most total touches (receptions and carries). I think he also leads the RBs in carries, but only because I think the more inside runs are handled by committee. I think the total carries by the other RBs combined is equal or greater than the number of carries Edwards gets.

Speiser is now up to No. 6 in On3's national rankings (No. 1 shooting guard). No idea about the rankings 20 years ago, but Wecker/Koehn are probably the only recruits in school history in the same ballpark.

https://www.on3.com/her/news/on3-updated-2025-womens-basketball-recruiting-rankings/

Didn't have women's rankings then, but Wecker/Ohlde/Koehn wouldn't have sniffed the top 50, well maybe Kendra. They played AAU locally. They were regional recruits at the time, not national.

Sorry man, but that's just not true. Koehn played USA b-ball and had loads of offers. Wecker did too. Both had offers from UConn.

Ohlde was certainly more regional and unknown because she didn't play the national circuit like the other two did.

Certainly to a lesser degree than Koehn/Wecker, but probably more so than Ohlde, Mahoney and Hanson were fairly highly regarded players as well.

Patterson's recruiting over that 3-4 year stretch was probably better than any kstate program in the last quarter century. Mittie is perhaps getting close now and Huggins/Martin's 1st classes were better, but not sustained beyond those single years.

It's just too bad Patterson couldn't get more than one Sweet 16 out of those classes.

I'll certainly defer to you here. I don't remember Koehn being that big of a deal, individually. Kendra was obviously a big deal and I remember Mahoney being a big get, in that class, as well. I didn't remember Laurie being a national recruit out of Moundridge. IIRC Brie Madden was a big get too, I know I was excited about her. Getting those players in 2 classes was crazy. Coggins also played with Ohlde for one season and the others for two. Five WNBA players on one team and we didn't make the second weekend.

Ousted by fellow NCK studette and, I believe, current KSU Athletics staffer Anne Weese’s Fightin’ Irish*.

Because I'm a loser (aka a media guide hoarder), I actually went back to the media guides from that era as I thought maybe I was wrong. As it turns out, Koehn was definitely a top 50 player - as high as the No. 6 player in the country according to "Full Court Press" (whatever that is). In fairness to Koehn, I never saw her before the knee injury prior to her freshman year - I'm sure she moved a lot better before that.

Andrea Armstrong (post player) was part of the Ohlde/Koehn class and was also a top 100 player.

Wecker was as high as the No. 14 player in the country (same outlet as above), but also in the top 20 in three other rankings (one of which was Rivals).

Madden was also ranked inside the top 50 players in the country.

Mahoney, Hanson and Ohlde didn't have any rankings listed, but knowing the SID at the time, I'm not 100 percent confident that's because they weren't ranked (possible just an oversight). Mahoney (S.D.) and Hanson (N.D.) were both the state players of the year multiple times and Mahoney was actually all-state five times because she played as an eighth grader. 

A few years later, Coggins was also a top 100 player as was Carolyn McCullough from KC (she never did much).

The interesting thing is that Ohlde/Wecker/Koehn all played on the same AAU team and that team did advance pretty far in some national tournaments. It's stunning to me that college coaches would have seen Ohlde play and decided not to recruit her. At the time, there really weren't any players in the country with her combination of height/skills (6-5 player with the ability to run the floor, dribble, score off the bounce, etc.). At that time, most players 6-3 or taller were statues (think Olga Firsova).

If my memory is any good (it’s not really so take this with a grain of salt) Ohlde had a major growth spurt during her senior year of HS and was considered a very good, but not great guard prior to that. Those skills at her final height is what made her an All American/WNBA caliber player

Defense transfer portal 'cruitin has been really good.  Offense at least they kept most the existing good players.

Offense hasn’t added the former 4 stars like defense, but I like what the coaches have done in the portal on the offensive side a lot. 2 big receivers who can step in right away, a veteran RB to compete with the younger guys for snaps behind Edwards, and 2 big linemen with multiple years of eligibility left to mix in with the younger guys there that the coaches seem really high on. Defense needed an injection of talent, especially in the secondary, and the strategy there sure seems to be geared more towards bringing in high potential players.

to;dr- Offense already has its stars, needed role players and got them. Defense needs potential stars and got potential stars

Do think Edward’s will get more carries than Jackson? More total scrimmage touches?

Edwards more snaps and touches. Jackson and Ervin split the rest of the carries

I’m sure missing a starter had some effect, but dear lord that was just a surgical dismantling of a top 25 team

Picked up an OL from USC, 3 years of eligibility left. Staff is getting some intriguing players and positions of need
