Kansas State Wildcats Coach Collin Klein Boosts Recruiting Class

Kansas State Wildcats coach Collin Klein has made a positive impact on the team's recruiting class, with 18 commitments and one or two four-star players. The class ranks No. 38 nationally and No. 3 in the Big 12, according to Rivals. Klein's efforts have been praised, but some fans may be overhyping the class. The team's recruiting class is solid, but not spectacular, and the transfer portal is now more important than traditional recruiting. Klein wants K-State to be a 'developmental program,' and landing recruits early in the process is a good sign. The most encouraging sign is that most of K-State's pledges hold offers from other notable programs. Cooper Ohnmacht, a four-star athlete from Great Bend, is the top-rated player in the Sunflower State for his grade. He holds offers from Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Minnesota, Penn State, and Wisconsin. Klein deserves kudos for adding a fresh perspective and new energy to K-State recruiting. The team may not be able to beat out the best names or biggest spenders for recruits, but they should aspire to win recruiting battles against that kind of competition. And they are doing it right now.
