The Wildcats have invaded SEC country and raided a Razorback favorite from Arkansas' backyard with Saturday's commitment from Monterrio Elston.

Taking Stock of Big XII Transfer Classes: Kansas State
For all intents and purposes college basketball's 2024 transfer season is over although some schools could still add one or two more players prior to tipping off in November. However, in this age of highly paid transfers, many coaches could opt for quality over quantity, meaning they'll concentrate their NIL funds on several elite transfer prospects rather than scatter those finite moneys over more marginal prospects in an attempt to fill all 13 scholarship spots. They may prefer to roll the dice on injury and other attrition with nine or 10 scholarship players. Texas Tech, incidentally, has filled only 11 scholarship positions as of this writing and could stand pat. This is a calculated risk Grant McCasland and other coaches may be willing to run.

A lot of them with many National Championships, a high winning percentage, and by the typical definition could go down as the greatest coach of all time.
