The transfer portal has been open for over a week now, and new Kansas State head coach Casey Alexander has been busy creating a completely new team for next season. 

A big win for Alexander was flipping a few high school commits from his previous university, Belmont, as well as retaining freshman sharpshooter Andrej Kostic. Otherwise, Alexander has been busy looking at players from other schools and finding the right pieces to fit his system. 

So far, Alexander has landed three guys over 6 feet, 10 inches tall, a few point guards and a few wings mixed in as well. The common theme among most players so far — they can all shoot the three-ball at a high percentage, a must in Alexander’s offense. 

Here is an early look at the committed transfer players for next year. 

Brock Vice, 6’10” PF, Murray State

Brock Vice averaged 2.0 points per game and 1.8 rebounds per game in just five minutes played last season at Murray State. Vice, like the rest of the bigs, was attractive to Alexander due to his size and shooting from the outside, which could allow him to take a leap next season.

Vice most likely will come off the bench for K-State next year, but having size and depth at the forward position is important. The Murray State transfer has two years of eligibility remaining plus a redshirt season if he were to exercise that with the Wildcats.

Brandon Rechsteiner, 6’1” SG, Colorado State

Last season, Brandon Rechsteiner averaged 12 points per game on 40% shooting from three-point land, making him an ideal candidate for Alexander. But Rechsteiner is more than just a catch-and-shoot guy for the Wildcats; he is also a tough shot maker and is good off the bounce as well. 

The senior transfer played two seasons at Virginia Tech before Colorado State, so he has experience playing against bigger and better competition as well. Rechsteiner should be a heavy part of the K-State backcourt rotation next season.

Jaden Schutt, 6’5” SG, Virginia Tech 

Jaden Schutt is a shooting guard who averaged 7.7 points per game on 38.5% shooting from the outside last season. Schutt, playing for the Hokies last year, scored a season high 18 points against George Mason, where he hit six three pointers and displayed his shooting ability. 

Schutt and previously mentioned Rechsteiner were teammates at Virginia Tech in the 2024-25 season, so they could have some chemistry. The former four-star recruit began his career playing for Duke and will look to fully break out in his first season as a Wildcat. 

Dezdrick Lindsay, 6’6” W, Oregon

Dezdrick Lindsay was the first commit for K-State who wasn’t known for his shooting, although Lindsay can still shoot the ball well enough, shooting 32.8% last year. Lindsay is known for his athleticism, showcasing highlight dunks during his time at Oregon. Getting a guy with his athleticism is needed in a loaded Big 12 conference. 

Lindsay is a good defender, has good size and can do a little bit of everything for the Wildcats, making him a perfect glue guy for next year. The senior transfer is a former junior college transfer and will look to play his biggest role yet in his final year with K-State. 

JT Rock 7’1” C, New Mexico

The tallest commit for K-State is JT Rock, who averaged 6.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game last season. While he stands over seven feet tall, Rock can still shoot the ball, hitting 23 three pointers this past season. If the big man continues to develop his shot under Alexander, he could be a dangerous threat to Big 12 teams. 

Rock began his career at Iowa State but played in a limited role, so he transferred to New Mexico, where he also played one season before ending up back in the Big 12. Rock played just 12 minutes per game last season for the Lobos, but should see a bigger role with the Wildcats next year. 

Matt Gilhool 6’11” PF, LSU

Matt Gilhool redshirted his lone season at LSU before coming to K-State with all four years of eligibility remaining. He is a left-handed player who, like the other bigs, is skilled from the outside and shows good touch and good range.

The former four-star recruit has a lot of potential that Alexander hopes to get out of him. He will need to get tougher and stronger inside before being ready for Big 12 play, but his size and craftiness should help him figure it out until he reaches that point.

Isaiah Abraham 6’7” W, Georgetown

Isaiah Abraham is another athletic wing piece for K-State that will make his impact defensively, with a chance for his offensive game to bloom as well. Abraham started 31 games for the Hoyas last season, averaging 4.8 points and 2.9 rebounds per game.

Abraham started his career at UCONN before limited playing time forced him to transfer, where he ended up at Georgetown. The former top 100 recruit can shoot the ball well enough from outside and will have a chance to develop it further under Alexander.
