So it appears the K-State staff has gotten in on a strong prospect early, and apparently the kid has ties to a 2014 Top 50 prospect we've already offered.
I would feel a lot better about this if Etherington and Blueitt played on the same AAU team, Etherington is Indiana Elite South, Blueitt for Indy Spiece Heat, Blueitt's Dad also happens to be his AAU coach. Blueitt is from Indianapolis and Etherington is from just north of there and it sounds like they know each other, so that's good, I'm just not sure how much persuasion Etherington can have with Blueitt, who in addition to KSU, has offers from Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame, Florida, Illinois, Xavier and interest from Michigan St.
FWIW, KSU has also offered Blueitt's Indy Spiece teammates JaQuan Lyle('14) and Vitto Brown('13). Well, the Brown offer is questionable right now but he seems to believe it's there.
