17. Kansas State Wildcats (5 commits)

Average Class Ranking: 17.5

Kansas State had reached made three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances before a really poor season in 2019-20. The Wildcats finished just 11-21 (3-15 B12) on the campaign and will be looking to return to their usual form in the near future. Thankfully, head coach Bruce Weber has put together a very strong five-man 2020 recruiting class full of pieces that will likely be able to develop together over the next four years.

Nijel Pack, a 5-foot-10 lead guard from Indianapolis, is the top-rated of this group and he has really experienced a jump in his ranking over the past year. Pack posted an exceptional summer with Indy Heat on the Nike EYBL circuit and now finds himself ranked at No. 100/124 in the class. He can do a little bit of everything on the floor even though he is a tad undersized. Should be a high-level floor general.

Alongside him, Selton Miguel (No. 134/98) and Luke Kasubke (No. 158/149) fill out the wings secured in this class. Miguel is an all-around talented scorer that can create for himself while Kasubke is a knockdown perimeter threat. These two should pair together nicely.

Seryee Lewis (No. 282/NR) and Davion Bradford (No. 150/136) then hold down their respective spots in the future frontcourt in Manhattan. Lewis is a 6-foot-9 power forward with a physical game while Bradford is a true 7-footer at the center spot that can attack and defend the rim. He is also a strong rebounder.
