Top Washburn Rural prospect Maddie Vickery joining Kansas State in December

Maddie Vickery, a four-star 2027 wing from Washburn Rural, announced on X that she will forgo her senior year of high school basketball to join the Wildcats in December . Vickery's decision is finally good news for the Wildcats, who have announced season-ending injuries to Ramiya White and Brandie Harrod in back-to-back weeks. The latter started 33 of 37 games for the Wildcats last year. Vickery's 2025-26 season was limited by an ACL tear that required surgery the summer before her junior year. She joined Washburn Rural in February ahead of the postseason.
