It took very little time for K-State to get over the departure of former head coach Bob Huggins. According to a report by The Topeka Capital-Journal the school's athletic department will be releasing a report that names Frank Martin as the Wildcats new head coach. Martin was the top recruiter and assistant under Huggins this past season, and has served as an assistant coach for Northwestern and Cincinnati in the past as well. This will be the first ever head coaching position for Martin.
This is good news for K-State fans, as Martin was very instrumental in the recruiting of blue chip prospect Michael Beasley. In addition, Martin will be keeping assistant coach Dalonte Hill on his staff. Hill coached Beasley for the DC Assault AAU team. This doesn't ensure that the McDonald's All-American Game MVP won't still follow Huggins to West Virginia, but it certainly gives the Wildcats a fighting chance.
