MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) Kansas State coach Bruce Weber has dismissed freshman forward Malek Harris from the team, the fifth underclassman who will not be returning to the Wildcats next season.
Weber said Friday that Harris was unable to live up to expectations of the program. Harris joins sophomore guard Marcus Foster and freshman forward Tre Harris in getting kicked off the team, while sophomore guards Jevon Thomas and Nigel Johnson have transferred.
Along with the graduation of Nino Williams and Thomas Gipson, the Wildcats will only have three returning players - Justin Edwards, Wesley Iwundu and Stephen Hurt - who played significant minutes during a tumultuous season that ended without a postseason tournament appearance.
