PJ Haggerty Commits to Kansas State Basketball

PJ Haggerty, the 2024 AAC Player of the Year and consensus second-team All-American, has withdrawn from the NBA Draft and committed to Kansas State after a standout season with Memphis where he averaged 21.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game. This transfer marks his fourth school in four years, following stints at TCU, Tulsa, and Memphis. After being heavily pursued by NC State, Haggerty chose Kansas State, reportedly accepting a lower but still lucrative NIL deal than his original $4 million target. His arrival is seen as a major recruiting achievement for Wildcats head coach Jerome Tang as the team looks to rebound from a disappointing season. Haggerty is expected to start at point guard and boost Kansas State’s NCAA Tournament prospects. The move comes amid significant roster changes for both Memphis and Kansas State.
