After losing an international player earlier today, Kansas State rebounded by adding a product of its own.
Timotej Málovec, a transfer forward who played at Miami last season, committed to the Wildcats on Tuesday. The Bratislava, Slovakia product averaged 4.2 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.9 assists, getting a couple of starts for the Hurricanes. He played for Mega Superbet in the ABA League First Division for two years, averaging 6.1 points and 3.1 rebounds, before heading to the NCAA.
It's another solid addition to the program on the last day of the portal being open. Here are the other players Kansas State has acquired through the portal:
Montana Wheeler, Freshman Guard
2025-26 STATS: 8.5 PTS, 1.1 REB, 2.8 AST
ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Apr. 18
Wheeler, who played at Bradley last year, was a consistent scorer in the second unit, illustrated by a few 15-point performances in his freshman campaign.
Isaiah Abraham, Sophomore Forward
2025-26 STATS: 4.7 PTS, 3.0 REB, 0.8 AST
ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Apr. 15
Abraham, a sophomore forward from Georgetown, started 94 percent of the Hoyas' games. The Wildcats were interested in the four-star prospect coming out of high school, but he committed to UConn his freshman year instead.
Matt Gilhool, Redshirt Freshman Forward
2025-26 STATS: N/A
ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Apr. 14
Gilhool didn't see the floor at all in his freshman season at LSU. He was a four-star prospect out of William Penn Charter High School in Philadelphia, PA. At 6-foot-11, Gilhool will likely play at the five unless he shares the floor with JT Rock.
JT Rock, Sophomore Center
2025-26 STATS: 6.2 PTS, 3.5 REB, 0.9 BLK
ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Apr. 13
Rock knocked down 37.9 percent of his 3-pointers at New Mexico last season, the most by a big man in the school's history. His ability to hit on the perimeter as a big man should play right into the Wildcats' game plan.
Jaden Schutt, Junior Guard
2025-26 STATS: 7.7 PTS, 1.6 REB, 0.9 AST
ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Apr. 13
Schutt spent his first two seasons with Duke before his two-year tenure with Virginia Tech. He shot 38.4 percent from the floor and 38.5 percent from 3-point range.
Brandon Rechsteiner, Junior Guard
2025-26 STATS: 12 PTS, 2.2 REB, 2.5 AST
ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Apr. 10
Rechsteiner is a junior guard from Colorado State and the son of WWE legend Scott "Steiner" Rechsteiner. Rechsteiner had a career season in production, ascending in every statistical category, including shooting 40 percent from 3-point range.
Dezdrick Lindsay, Junior Forward
2025-26 STATS: 5.3 PTS, 2.8 REB, 1.5 AST
ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Apr. 10
Lindsay started in eight games at Oregon this past season. Lindsay will hopefully add the forward depth the program desperately needed last season amid several major injuries.
Brock Vice, Sophomore Forward
2025-26 STATS: 2.0 PTS, 2.0 REB
ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Apr. 8
Vice didn't get a lot of playing time last season, but he could serve as solid frontcourt depth for the Wildcats.
