BY BRANDON JENKINS – 247 SPORTS

MANHATTAN, Kan. (247sports.com) – Villanova transfer Brendan Hausen has committed to Kansas State, a source tells 247Sports.

A 6-foot-4, 205-pound guard out of Amarillo (Texas) Hausen averaged 6.2 points and 1.6 rebounds per game on 38.1 percent shooting from long range.

He chose the Wildcats after reportedly hearing from Texas A&M, Wake Forest, and other high major programs.

Hausen is the third transfer portal addition for Jerome Tang this spring. He joins Dug McDaniel and CJ Jones as the transfers on Kansas State’s roster for next season.

Ranked as a four-star prospect in the 247Sports college basketball transfer portal rankings, Hausen has two years of eligibility remaining.

The transfer portal opened on March 18th and will remain open until Wednesday, May 1st.

Anytime during that window, a player can submit paperwork to their current school to request a transfer and within 48-hours of receiving the paperwork, a player must be submitted into the NCAA Portal database.

Simultaneously, with any coaching movement – whether a head coach is fired or gets another job – players of that team are also given a 30-day window in which they can enter the portal which is not bound to the March 18th-May 1st window.When a player has officially entered the transfer portal, other schools are permitted to contact the player and begin the recruiting process.

There is also a new rule this off-season that will have major ramifications on the transfer market.

In recent years, players were given a one-time transfer waiver and if transferring for a second time, a waiver had to be granted to be immediately eligible by the NCAA.

For the transfers this spring, transfers are expected to be immediately eligible for the 2024-25 season according to a recent memo by the NCAA.
