Filmogaz.com reported Brock Vice Commits to Kansas State Basketball from Murray State, marking Coach Casey Alexander’s first portal pickup.

Early years and recruiting

Vice is part of the 2023 recruiting class. He starred at Houston High School in Memphis, Tennessee.

  • Senior averages: 17.5 points and 14 rebounds.
  • Rankings: 40th center nationally, third-best player in Tennessee, three-star prospect.
  • College choice: signed with Creighton over Belmont, St. Louis, and Tulsa.

College trajectory

Vice redshirted his first season at Creighton. He then entered the portal and signed with North Texas.

At North Texas he played sparingly. He appeared in five games during the 2024-25 season.

Vice transferred to Murray State afterward. As a redshirt sophomore he played 30 games as a reserve.

  • Average playing time: about five minutes per game.
  • Per-game stats at Murray State: 2 points and 2 rebounds.

Fit with Kansas State and Coach Casey Alexander

Alexander has followed Vice since high school recruitment. He previously pursued Vice while coaching elsewhere.

The coach favors big men who can operate on the perimeter. That skill set matches Vice’s pick-and-pop ability and spacing instincts.

Alexander runs a 5-out system that requires mobile size. Vice offers length, some floor skills, and rebounding.

What to expect next

Vice arrives with limited college production but a clear skill profile. The Wildcats view him as a system fit more than a proven scorer.

Expect Alexander to prioritize role clarity and minutes for portal additions. Further roster moves will reveal Kansas State’s long-term plan.
