MANHATTAN — Days after Casey Alexander said he might be done adding to his inaugural Kansas State basketball roster, he’s added another player to the team.
Nash Stark, a 6-foot-7, 235-pound high school prospect out of Nashville, announced his commitment to the Wildcats on Monday, May 4. His commitment comes less than a month after he was offered a preferred walk-on position at Belmont.
Alexander teased that there was a chance he would bring in a walk-on-caliber player who could be another body in practices rather than being a rotational player. Stark fits that mold.
Out of Lipscomb Academy, Stark was named an All-Midstate Large Class second-teamer by The Tennessean. He was also being recruited by Division II baseball programs.
Stark’s addition brings Kansas State’s roster to 14 players, with room for one more if it chooses. He’s the third true freshman, joining former Belmont commits Jaylen Alexander and Devin Hutcherson, who followed Alexander to Manhattan.
Kansas State’s roster also includes transfers Pape N’Diaye (Xavier), Timotej Malovec (Miami), Montana Wheeler (Bradley), JT Rock (New Mexico), Matt Gilhool (LSU), Jaden Schutt (Virginia Tech), Brandon Rechsteiner (Colorado State), Dezdrick Lindsay (Oregon), and Brock Vice (Murray State).
