K-State loses Dug McDaniel to portal; Brendan Hausen lands at Iowa

Dug McDaniel, Brendan Hausen

One former Kansas State guard has entered the transfer portal, while another has found his landing spot, as Dug McDaniel confirmed via social media Monday that he is leaving Manhattan, Kan.

Meanwhile, former K-State guard Brendan Hausen, who entered the portal last Monday, announced via social media he will be playing his final college season in Iowa.

The 5-foot-11 McDaniel was the Wildcats’ second-leading scorer, averaging 11.4 points to go along with 4.9 assists and 1.7 steals per game.

Hausen, a 3-point sharp shooter, scored 10.9 points per game while shooting 38.8 percent from deep.

Both players were transfer additions last offseason, with McDaniel joining from Michigan and Hausen coming over from Villanova.

McDaniel is being joined by two other roster defections, reserve centers Ugonna Onyenso and Baye Fall, who also made their departures official Monday. One other player, backup forward Macaleab Rich, previously entered the portal, while starting forwards David N’Guessan and Coleman Hawkins have both exhausted their eligibility.

Head coach Jerome Tang now has a more severe rebuilding job in front of him, a year after his Wildcats finished with a losing record (16-17, 9-11 Big 12).

Incoming from the portal will be Monmouth guard Abdi Bashir Jr. The Wildcats also have a midyear transfer in forward Tyreek Smith (Memphis) who will be eligible to contribute.
