The Big Apple Takes Manhattan...to Kansas? Decoding the Wildcat Lineup
Ah, Kansas State Wildcats. The team known for their fierce play and...well, a whole lot of Wildcats. But what about the concrete jungle, the city that never sleeps, the land of Nathan's Famous hot dogs (discuss)? How many Wildcats hail from the glorious state of New York?
Hold your horses (or should we say, Wildcats?), this is where it gets interesting.
We did some digging (because apparently, Wildcats aren't the only things that like to burrow), and the answer depends on when you're asking. The 2023-24 roster for the Wildcats isn't set in stone just yet, but as of today, there isn't a single player listed from the Empire State.
Tip: Share one insight from this post with a friend.
Does that mean New York isn't represented in Kansas State basketball history? Nyet (that's Russian for "no," by the way, for all you Knicks fans out there). Past seasons have seen some Wildcats from the Big Apple, including guards Markquis Nowell and Tykei Greene who brought their East Coast flair to the Midwest.
So, what's the deal? Is Kansas allergic to New Yorkers, or are there just better hot dog stands in Manhattan, Kansas? The truth, my friends, is probably a bit more complex. Recruiting plays a big role, and sometimes coaches just find better fits elsewhere.
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
But hey, that doesn't mean a New Yorker can't dream of becoming a Wildcat! Maybe you're a high school baller with next-level skills, or perhaps you just have a killer crossover and a love for purple. Don't let this little geography lesson discourage you!

QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.
