Kansas State women’s basketball head coach Jeff Mittie has added a decorated backcourt piece to the 2025-26 roster, as Tess Heal has signed with the Wildcats.

Heal is a product of Melbourne, Australia, and is the second player in program history from Australia (Rebekah Dallinger, 2021-24). She joins Virginia Tech center Ramiya White as the Wildcats’ two incoming transfers so far this season.

There will not be a postseason for the Kansas State men after Wednesday’s 70-56 loss to Baylor in the second round of the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City.

There was some thought heading into this week that if the Wildcats failed to run the table in Kansas City and earn the Big 12’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, that they’d accept an invitation to one of the more minor postseason opportunities.

Odds are they’d be able to return to the NIT, where they lost in the first round to Iowa last season, or they could hit Las Vegas.

PHOENIX, Arizona — The landscape of college football is always shifting. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, something else changes and that leads to a chain reaction that affects six other things. It’s tough thing to keep it all straight, just ask Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman.

Starting next season, the Wildcats roster will shrink to just 105 players total, all of which will be scholarship spots. This past season, K-State had over 120 players on the roster, but only 85 scholarships to give.

The change, which comes following the $2.8 billion House v. NCAA settlement, sets new limits for the maximum roster size of every Division I NCAA-sponsored sport. The roster limits help make way for a new revenue-sharing model that will allow schools to directly play athletes for their services for the first time in the sports’ history.
