Let the games begin.

The transfer portal for men's basketball officially opened on Monday, March 24, setting off an avalanche of action from early morning.

After adding double-digit players through the portal just a year ago, Kansas State will likely be active in the transfer portal again this year. Jerome Tang and his staff have three scholarships open and are looking to replace three starters from last season: guard Max Jones and forwards Coleman Hawkins and David N'Guessan.

Players have about a month to decide to enter the transfer portal before it closes for new entries on April 22. However, players in the portal can commit to a new school (or return to their previous school) at any point, even if it is "closed."

Here is a look at all of K-State's action in the transfer portal, as it happens.

Tues, April 22, 5:44 p.m.: K-State has expressed interest in Saint Mary's guard Jordan Ross. Ross averaged 8.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game this season.

Mon, April 7, 5:28 p.m.: Miami (Fla.) guard Nijel Pack transferred to Oklahoma. Pack, who began his career at K-State, was considering a return and named K-State a finalist in his recruitment.

Mon, April 7, 3:07 p.m.: Monmouth guard Abdi Bashir, Jr. announced his intentions to transfer to K-State. Bashir Jr. averaged 20.1 points per game last season, which ranked No. 16 nationally. He will have two seasons of eligibility.
