K-State Wildcats lock in campus visit with touted mid-major basketball transfer
One of the nation’s most respected mid-major basketball transfers is contemplating a move to Kansas State.
Marquel Sutton, a 6-foot-8 senior forward who spent the past three seasons at Omaha, has locked in a recruiting visit with Jerome Tang and the Wildcats.
Sutton told League Ready that he plans to be in Manhattan on Monday.
The Wildcats are eyeing Sutton as a potential replacement for departing seniors Coleman Hawkins and David N’Guessan in the frontcourt. It’s easy to see why they are interested in Sutton’s services. Sutton averaged 18.9 points and 7.9 rebounds per game this season on his way to Summit League Player of the Year honors.
Sutton led the Mavericks to 22 victories and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
He is looking to finish his college basketball career in a power conference. Many consider him to be one of the biggest names currently in the transfer portal.
Sutton is originally from Tulsa.
He has also received transfer attention from Arkansas, Baylor, Clemson, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Michigan and many others. Time will tell where he ends up, but Sutton will make his first recruiting visit with K-State.
