MANHATTAN — Days after Casey Alexander said he might be done adding to his inaugural Kansas State basketball roster, he’s added another player to the team.
Nash Stark, a 6-foot-7, 235-pound high school prospect out of Nashville, announced his commitment to the Wildcats on Monday, May 4. His commitment comes less than a month after he was offered a preferred walk-on position at Belmont.
Alexander teased that there was a chance he would bring in a walk-on-caliber player who could be another body in practices rather than being a rotational player. Stark fits that mold.
On a day in which some big, dark, looming injury news was made, some big, dark, looming clouds — literal, not metaphorical — hung over downtown Detroit.
Eventually, those clouds caused a rain delay, but after dodging the drops, the Tigers dropped the opening contest of their three-game home series against the Red Sox, 5-4. It was a somewhat unexpected pitchers’ duel early, but a disastrous outing from the Tiger bullpen erased a slim lead and was their ultimate downfall.

It was João Pedro’s turn to apologize to the fans after yet another horrendous result, our sixth league defeat in a row. At least we did finally score a goal, thanks to JP’s spectacular bicycle kick in stoppage time to provide (scant) consolation in our 3-1 defeat. The wait was almost worth it for our first Premier League goal in nearly ten hours.
