There will be a notable visitor Saturday at Bramlage Coliseum when Kansas State opens the Big 12 basketball season against No. 6 Oklahoma — Wichita East running back Bryce Brown.

Brown, rated as the No. 2 overall player in the 2009 recruiting class by Rivals.com, will take an unofficial visit to Manhattan and meet with members of the K-State coaching staff, according to his adviser, Brian Butler.

Brown, who will be joined by his father and Butler, has orally committed to Miami, but said last week in San Antonio that he was down to the Hurricanes and Oregon.

Now, Butler says a "few more schools" are involved, including K-State.

"It’s all business," Butler said. "Things change. Why not take a look around? He’s the No. 1 (running back) in the country. There's no rush. … Look at Terrelle Pryor last year with Ohio State."

Asked if that meant Brown might not sign a letter of intent on Feb. 4 and take his time with a decision, Butler said, "That’s a possibility."
