MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State head coach Bruce Weber announced Tuesday that two players

have been dismissed from the men’s basketball program and another has elected to transfer.

 

Sophomore Marcus Foster and freshman Tre Harris have been dismissed from the program, while sophomore Jevon Thomas has decided to transfer to a school closer to home.

 

“Marcus and Tre have been unable to live up to the standards that we expect of our players,” said Weber. “It is a privilege to represent Kansas State University and there are consequences when players don’t live up to those expectations. Hopefully, they will learn from this experience and make the necessary progress to continue their basketball careers elsewhere.”

 

“As for Jevon, he has worked diligently to succeed in our program both athletically and academically,” Weber continued. “He has made tremendous strides during his time at K-State but he’s come to the decision he wants to be closer to home. We wish him the best as he moves forward in his college career.”

 

A 6-foot-3, 210-pound guard from Wichita Falls, Texas, Foster averaged 14.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 62 games in his two-year career, including 12.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game this past season.

 

A 6-foot-5, 195-pound guard from Edwardsville, Illinois, Harris saw action in 21 games as a true freshman in 2014-15, averaging 3.8 points and 0.9 rebounds per game.

 

A 6-foot, 185-pound guard from Queens, New York, Thomas saw action in 52 games in his two-year career, averaging 3.7 points, 3.0 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game. This past season, he averaged 4.5 points, 3.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds per game.
