Will Deuce Vaughn return for another season next year? EMAWonline answers questions for the next month of K-State football:
. I think K-State is probably towards the bottom of the Big 12 when it comes to portal entrants, much for the reasons that Alec lists below. I wouldn't be surprised if the Wildcats' final portal number is under 15. Last season K-State had 17 players enter the transfer portal, but a handful didn't come until after spring practice.
It would be unfair of me to directly mention who I think are candidates to hit the portal, but if you were to go through the roster you could likely do some calculating as to who may look for a new home. It may be a while before more enter though, as the current window is open until January 18th and many might want to wait until after the Sugar Bowl.The rush to the transfer portal seems to have slowed just a bit after Monday's tsunami.
I also think running back is an important box to check in both the portal and to finish off the 2023 recruiting class. Whether Deuce Vaughn returns or not, K-State has a solid option behind him in DJ Giddens, but only one other carry this season went to a running back not named Vaughn or Giddens. Finding a solid portal running back in case anything were to happen is important.
The only thing hurting K-State might just be the feeling that they aren't as attractive as other destinations because they might lack the flash. I do think that Klieman's staff is doing a lot of things to change that perception and another thing this staff will have to point to is the number of guys that they are starting to put on NFL radars. One other thing to consider if K-State misses out on portal targets is to watch where they end up.
As far as why not to transfer to K-State, the NIL package that the Wildcats are offering might not be as luxurious as other transfer destinations. I think places like Nebraska will prove to be good programs for transfers in the coming years partly because of NIL, but also because I think Matt Ruhle's staff is going to be good a developing talent. Another reason I think K-State might not be the most attractive place for the portal is that it might lack a bit of a"cool" factor.
