Kansas State’s basketball will enter the upcoming season with just one returning player, as rising sophomore Andrej Kostic opted to stay in Manhattan through a coaching change and full roster overhaul.

Kostic is the lone holdover on a roster that features 12 newcomers in Casey Alexander’s first season, making his decision one of the few pieces of continuity as the Wildcats reset under a new staff.

Kansas State men’s basketball head coach Casey Alexander said his roster for the 2026-27 season is essentially set, with 13 scholarship players already in place and no expectation of adding more.

“We wanted the right people — the right kind of guys,” Alexander said. “We had to do that on a budget, and we’re really pleased with how things turned out.”

With the transfer portal window for entries now closed, K-State has shifted from building its roster to developing it, leaving only a pair of open spots that are unlikely to impact the Wildcats’ rotation.

“If we add, it would be more of a walk-on situation — somebody who brings practice value and can help with depth,” Alexander said. “I don’t anticipate adding anyone that I’d view as a rotational player. I’d never say never, but we’re not beating the bushes right now to try to find the next player.”

The Riley County Commission on Thursday adopted a policy for handling complaints related to a recent state law prohibiting transgender Kansans from using facilities associated with their gender identity.

“It’s relatively straightforward,” county counselor Jacob Hansen told commissioners. “The purpose, of course, is that individuals who want to make a complaint pursuant to that law are able to do so.”
