Kansas State basketball coach Casey Alexander has secured his first 2027 recruit, a four-star small forward named Kameron Cooper, who is the son of new assistant John Cooper. Cooper revealed his decision on social media Tuesday, July 7, sending a wave of excitement through the Wildcats' fan base.
A Milestone for the Wildcats
Standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 175 pounds, Cooper played his high school ball at Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas before committing to Kansas State over programs such as TCU, Xavier, UNLV and Wichita State.
The 247Sports Composite ranks Cooper as the No. 108 overall player nationally and the No. 29 small forward in his class, highlighting the caliber of talent the Wildcats have attracted.
His pledge marks the first high school player to commit to Kansas State under Alexander, a group that previously included two 2026 recruits who transferred from Belmont to Manhattan.
The addition of Cooper not only bolsters the roster but also underscores the growing appeal of the program under Alexander’s leadership, setting the stage for an exciting future.
