Kansas State basketball takes another portal hit with starting point guard Dug McDaniel

The Kansas State basketball transfer portal is suddenly heating up, and given the latest flurry of activity, it is turning into a fire sale.

Starting point guard Dug McDaniel became the third K-State player of the day and fifth overall to enter the portal Monday to leave coach Jerome Tang facing another roster rebuild for 2025-26.

McDaniel, a 5-foot-11 junior transfer from Michigan, was the Wildcats' second-leading scorer with 11.4 points per game and led the team with 4.9 assists. He had a stormy relationship with Tang at first but took over as the starter to begin Big 12 play and never looked back.
