Nick Russell announced that he would be transferring closer to home to attend SMU. He had already made the decision to transfer in May, but took some time to look at his options. This is probably a blessing in disguise for the Cats, as Nick never found his groove in Manhattan. He had flashes this season but could never be consistent throughout a game or season. Hopefully, this will be a better fit for Russell.
"“I feel like it’s a better fit for me to go somewhere else so I can try to continue to grow as a basketball player,” Russell told The Kansas City Star in May."
