The Kansas State basketball team will have an extra player on its roster when the Big 12 portion of its schedule begins against Texas on Wednesday at Bramlage Coliseum.
Goodnews Kpegeol, a freshman shooting guard with one of the most unique names in the sport, has joined the team a semester early.
Kpegeol is a 6-foot-6, 180-pound guard who signed with the Wildcats in November while playing for TaylorMade Academy, a prep school in Pensacola, Fla. As a member of K-State’s 2019 recruiting class, he wasn’t expected to arrive on campus until the summer. But he opted to enroll now.
