Nate Johnson - Scores 20 again Johnson logged 20 points (9-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Thursday's 99-96 win over California.

Impact Johnson was one of three Wildcats to score at least 20 points while sprinkling in a smattering of rebounds, assists and steals. It was the second time this year Johnson has tallied 20 or more points while shooting better than 70-percent from the floor. He's now averaging 17.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 steals across 31.7 minutes through three games.

Khamari McGriff - Scores 21 in win McGriff finished Thursday's 99-96 win over California with 21 points (8-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes.

Impact McGriff was one of three Wildcats to score at least 20, doing so while shooting 72.7-percent on 11 shots from the floor. It was just the third time in his career that the senior transfer from UNC-Wilmington has gone over the 20-point barrier. Through three games, McGriff is averaging 13.7 points across 16.0 minutes per game while shooting 81.8-percent from the field.

Haggerty's double-double carries Kansas State past Bellarmine 98-71

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • Associated Press

David Castillo - Catches fire from downtown Castillo supplied 19 points (7-7 FG, 5-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 12 minutes during Saturday's 98-71 victory over Bellarmine.

Impact Castillo was a perfect 7-for-7 from the field, including draining five from downtown en route to a career-high 19 points as Kansas State cruised to the win. The 6-foot-1 sophomore needed just 12 minutes to accomplish the feat. Castillo played in 32 games last season for the Wildcats, starting two while scoring 2.4 points across 10.0 minutes per contest. Nights like Saturday will go a long way towards helping solidify a larger role for the reserve guard.

P.J. Haggerty - Posts double double in win Haggerty registered 23 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 11-12 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists over 35 minutes during Saturday's 98-71 victory over Bellarmine.

Impact Haggerty followed up a 27-point opening-night performance with an impressive double double, scoring 23 points while dishing out a career-high 11 helpers during Saturday's victory. The junior guard has been one of the most prolific scorers in the country over the past two seasons with Tulsa and Memphis and is not only picking up where he left off thus far this season, but is also showing off his full playmaking capabilities.

Haggerty scores 27 points, Johnson adds 22 to lead K-State over UNC Greensboro 93-64

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • Associated Press

P.J. Haggerty - Paces Wildcats with 27 in debut Haggerty racked up 27 points (10-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 93-64 victory over UNCG.

Impact Haggerty lived up to the hype in his debut with the Wildcats, pacing the team with 27 points as they cruised to an easy win. The junior transfer from Memphis was one of the biggest prizes in the portal after averaging 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.8 steals for the Tigers last season. Haggerty was named to the preseason Big 12 all-conference team and after one game appears to be well on his way to justifying that selection.

C.J. Jones - Grabs seven boards Jones (undisclosed) amassed zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 93-64 win over UNCG.

Impact Jones didn't score a single point in Tuesday's blowout win, but at least he made his presence felt on the glass. Expect Jones to occupy a backup role moving forward, and that should limit his fantasy upside considerably.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Nate Johnson - Comes close to triple-double Johnson chipped in 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 93-64 win over UNCG.

Impact Johnson had an excellent performance, missing just three shots from the field and ending just one rebound and one assist away from recording a triple-double. He posted excellent numbers in the 2024-25 season with Akron, where he averaged 14.0 points, 4.9 boards, 3.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game. Based on how involved he was on offense, Johnson should be one of Kansas State's go-to weapons moving forward.

Marcus Johnson - Looks to be out of rotation Head coach Jerome Tang said Friday that there wouldn't be minutes for Johnson, Wyatt Wheeler of USA Today reports. Johnson didn't appear in Tuesday's season-opening win over UNC-Gr...

Impact Johnson didn't appear in either of the Wildcats' exhibition games, and it looks as though the Bowling Green transfer simply doesn't have a spot in the rotation. The move comes as quite a surprise after Johnson averaged 16.3 points and 5.0 rebounds across 31.5 minutes per game a season ago. Kansas State leaned on Khamari McGriff and Stephen Osei on Tuesday.

Marcus Johnson - Not starting Tuesday Johnson (undisclosed) is not starting in Tuesday's season opener against UNC-Greensboro, Kellis Robinett of The Wichita Eagle reports.

Impact Johnson will remain a game-time decision for the Wildcats' season debut since he's been withheld from the starting lineup. The projected starting center's designation should now be revealed prior to tip-off.

C.J. Jones - Misses Friday's exhibition Jones (undisclosed) did not play in Friday's exhibition win over Newman.

Impact Jones was unable to play in Friday's final exhibition game prior to the regular season for undisclosed reasons. It's most likely an injury though considering how many players saw the floor in the exhibition and the fact that he logged at least nine minutes in every game last season with the Wildcats. His status for Tuesday's opener versus UNC-Greensboro is now in question.

NOVEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Stephen Osei - Logs 13 minutes in scrimmage Osei (redshirt) scored five points (1-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt. 2-4 FT) to go with three rebounds, an assist and a block in 13 minutes of action during Friday's exhibition win over Newman

Impact Osei got a little taste of game action before the Wildcats get set to host UNC-Greensboro on Tuesday. As previous reports suggested, Osei is expected to redshirt this season barring any injuries that may force him into the rotation.

Marcus Johnson - DNP in exhibition game Johnson (undisclosed) did not appear in Friday's 100-91 exhibition game loss against Missouri, Tim Everson of TheMercury.com reports.

Impact Johnson, who transferred to Manhattan from Bowling Green this offseason, was held out of K-State's exhibition game due to undisclosed reasons. The 6-foot-7 senior, who averaged 16.3 points and five rebound as 32 starts with the Falcons, will have his next opportunity to suit up against Newman this Friday during the Wildcats' final exhibition game.

Stephen Osei - Expected to redshirt Osei is expected to redshirt during the 2025-26 season, Tim Everson of TheMercury.com reports.

Impact Osei, who transferred in from JUCO Casper College, is expected to redshirt during his first season at the DI level. The 6-foot-10 sophomore will utilize the 2025-26 season to develop behind the scenes with the Wildcats.
