Kansas State point guard Dug McDaniel reportedly entered the portal on Monday, marking the Wildcats’ biggest loss to the portal this season.

McDaniel, a former Michigan transfer, averaged 11.4 points and 4.9 assists per game for the ‘Cats, playing his best basketball toward the end of the season. While it was a down season for K-State, his strong finish had many fans hopeful for next season.

With the departure of McDaniel, K-State is down to four returning players on the roster next season, not including Tyreek Smith and Max Jones, who still need waivers to play next year. Returners include C.J. Jones, Mobi Ikegwuruka, David Castillo and Taj Manning.

If Jones doesn’t receive his waiver, with the departure of McDaniel, K-State will lose their entire starting lineup from last season. The Wildcats will have to look to the transfer portal for some more talent to fill out their roster for next year.
