When Ron Freeman left the Kansas State basketball team back in April, head coach Bruce Weber gained an extra scholarship for the 2016-17 season.
Weber tried his luck first with junior college forward Freddie McSwain. The Neosho County Community College transfer ultimately chose to become a Hoosier at Indiana University instead.
Weber rolled the dice again recently with Tyrek Coger. A 6-foot-9 forward from Cape Fear Community College, Coger was scheduled to visit Oklahoma State, K-State and Charlotte. But after his visit to Stillwater, he canceled his other planned trips and decided to become a Cowboy under new head coach Brad Underwood.
