Many K-State fans (myself among them) had high hopes for Austin Trice when he arrived from Wabash Valley College as one of the top juco transfers in the country, according to several recruiting services. We has reason to believe Trice could shore up Kansas State’s rebounding woes while providing some much-needed interior depth.
It turned out the Wildcats would improve significantly on the boards — but Trice didn’t have a whole lot to do with it. He struggled to score and defend against Division I opponents, though he still had his moments, particularly toward the end of the season, so it was a little disappointing to K-State announce on Friday that Trice has entered the notorious transfer portal (Ryan Black/Manhattan Mercury).
