Kansas State targets?
In recent weeks, Kansas State has flirted with potential targets
VanKeith Brown and
Caleb Benning.
Brown is a wideout from Texas that does hold an offer from K-State after they saw him at a satellite camp in June, but he is being courted by plenty of other programs. That group includes Cockeye State, TCU, Nebraska and Cal.
Kansas State was actually the first Power Five program to make a move for him. However, at this point, he has primarily visited schools that have yet to extend him a scholarship. It’s an interesting strategy, for sure.
At the moment, we’re not considering him a serious candidate unless he visits Manhattan.
In the case of Benning, he has visited K-State. His issue is that he has yet to earn an offer from the Wildcats despite making multiple trips to Manhattan. Will the Wildcats eventually budge and extend him a scholarship? It likely will be dependent upon a solid first few games of senior film.
The Omaha native has already received offers from Nebraska, Cockeye, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Cockeye State, Vanderbilt, Kansas and Duke. The status of how committable those opportunities are certainly is something to consider.
