Manhattan ? The son of a former NBA player joined Kansas State’s already-talented recruiting class Tuesday, when the Wildcats signed forward Ron Anderson Jr. to a financial aid agreement.

The 6-foot-8, 245-pound forward averaged 15.1 points and 11.6 rebounds as a senior at the McCallie School in McCallie, Tenn.

Kansas State’s recruiting class, largely assembled by former coach Bob Huggins, already has been judged as the nation’s best by Rivals.com. It includes 6-foot-9-inch forward Michael Beasley, ranked by several analysts as the nation’s top high school recruit.

Anderson’s father, Ron Anderson Sr., averaged 10.6 points in a 10-year NBA career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Indiana Pacers, Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Nets and Washington Bullets.

Also Tuesday, K-State coach Frank Martin said forward Jamar Samuels had not met academic requirements and would not enroll at Kansas State for his freshman year.
