Kansas State men’s basketball big men Baye Fall and Ugonna Onyenso made their entrance into the transfer portal on Monday.
After two years with Kentucky, Onyenso played in 24 games with two starts for K-State. The 7-foot center played in 11.1 minutes per game, tallying 2.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 0.9 blocks.
Fall, a 6-foot-11 center, didn’t see much playing time during his freshman campaign with Arkansas, averaging 0.8 points and 1.3 rebounds per game. The storyline for his sophomore season in Manhattan wasn’t much different, seeing action in four games with a 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds average.
Fall and Onyenso’s departure leaves K-State with no centers currently rostered. Beginning in 2025, Division I men’s basketball teams will be capped at 15 scholarship spots, an increase of two from previous years.
All together, K-State’s scholarship count is fluid as Max Jones and Tyreek Smith are looking for waivers to play next season. With the big men exiting, K-State has eight individuals, not including Jones or Smith, from 2024-25 currently expected to be in Manhattan.
