One of the nation’s best junior-college rebounders will play for Kansas State next season.
Austin Trice, a 6-foot-7, 230-pound sophomore forward, orally committed to the Wildcats while on a recruiting visit Saturday.
He will transfer to K-State after averaging 12.6 points and 12.1 rebounds for Wabash Valley College in Mount Carmel, Ill. He chose K-State over strong competition. His other finalists were Illinois, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Florida and Washington State. Trice announced his decision on social media.
“I feel as if I have made a decision that would be best for me and my family,” Trice wrote on Twitter.
