They have a solid hoops tradition at KSU, and they love their hoops, but they must have a pile of NIL cash to catch his eye.

But they are a Nike school like Ohio State and USC - Peterson has an NIL deal with adidas. One of the reasons Kansas has been the presumed choice for awhile - blue blood, boat load of cash and an adidas school.
Sorry. I actually forgot that since the mid-1970s shoe companies run college basketball. I’m not kidding, either.

I liked it more when it wasn’t out in the open.
Yep. And the coaches had their shoe company deals, which led to what you posted…a program being a Nike, Adidas, etc., program.

K-State has to have a massive NIL money bag for basketball. Maybe a lot of it is Jerome Tang.
I’d like to be proven wrong, but it would seem the only Adidas school in the finalists here would seem to be very likely to land the recruit that conveniently has an Adidas deal.

My guess - he included K-State just to irk the Jayhawks into giving him a better NIL offer. I'm guessing that Kansas is his preferred destination.

His adidas deal ends when he’s done with high school
