Kimani Hamilton - College Basketball News & Rumors

Lands at Mississippi State Hamilton will transfer to Mississippi State, per On3.

Impact Hamilton will return to the program that recruited him out of high school. The forward began his career with the Bulldogs in 2022-23, but he returns a much different player. As a senior with UNLV last season, he averaged 12.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals. He's been a full-time starter for three seasons at this point, and the 6-8 frontcourt piece could compete for a starting role in Starkville immediately.

Enters transfer portal Hamilton has officially entered the transfer portal, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Hamilton's departure leaves UNLV without one of its key frontcourt contributors from last season. The forward's apparently successful pursuit of another year of eligibility suggests he intends to and would keep playing elsewhere if cleared.
