K-State Football recruiting: Early signing period primer

The NCAA early signing period is here and there will be a lot of decisions made. Here is what to look out for with the K-State football program.

The Wildcats are coming off of a disappointing regular season. K-State had some preseason hopes of being a contender in the Big 12, but came up well short of that mark. They still have the Cactus Bowl ahead of them, but that isn’t much of a consolation prize. All eyes are firmly turned towards recruiting and the future.

Of course, the biggest question facing Kansas State is the future of Bill Snyder as head coach. There have been no shortage of rumors surrounding this situation. That includes at least one report showing Snyder isn’t letting go of his control. That is a situation that can cause distractions and confusion during the recruiting process.
