Coleman Hawkins, the top available transfer remaining in the portal, committed to Kansas State on Friday.

The Illinois transfer canceled a visit to Louisville in order to visit K-State last weekend and has now pledged to head coach Jerome Tang. He also considered North Carolina, LSU, Arkansas and others.

He averaged 12.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists last season while shooting 36.9% from beyond the arc.

He joins transfer forwards Achor Achor (Samford) and Chimobi Ikegwuruka (JUCO), transfer big men Ugonna Onyenso (Kentucky) and Baye Fall (Arkansas), transfer point guard Dug McDaniel (Michigan) and transfer guards CJ Jones (UIC), Max Jones (Cal State Fullerton) and Brendan Hausen (Villanova).
