5 Kansas State basketball transfers that ended up being game-changers

Keyontae Johnson was by far the best transfer Kansas State has gotten so far from the transfer portal. There were questions about whether Johnson would ever play basketball again after he collapsed unexpectedly in the middle of the court during a game. After over a year of recovery, Johnson was cleared to play and chose to use his final year of eligibility elsewhere, landing at Kansas State.
Johnson was a playmaker through and through and it showed in how he played. He averaged 17.4 points per game at K-State 6.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, and hit the big shots when the Wildcats needed them the most.
Without Johnson, Kansas State might not have made it to the Elite Eight that season. Each player worked well within the team, but Johnson was that missing spark the Wildcats had been missing for so long.
