A flurry of activity happened on Darren Sproles birthday, with K-State’s men’s basketball team naming Ben O’Donnell as the new assistant strength and conditioning coach.

Not to be outdone, the football team secured verbal commitment #5 in the form of Ben Adler out of Trinity Academy in Wichita.

BracketCats also continued his countdown to kickoff, examining #75 Jordan Willis, and #74 Scott Frantz.

Oklahoma State and Kansas State were the two final school’s for Ben Adler, and he knew Manhattan felt more like home. (Kellis Robinett, Wichita Eagle)
