According to a recent report by Jeff Goodman, the Kansas State Wildcats have made a significant decision regarding one of their transfer players. Impact transfer wing Achor Achor has been dismissed from the program. Goodman took to Twitter to share the news, stating that "Kansas State’s Achor Achor has been dismissed from the team, a source told The Field of 68." This comes after Achor transferred in from Samford, where he had been averaging impressive numbers last season - 16.1 points and 6.1 rebounds. But in his time with the Kansas State Wildcats this season, he was averaging 7.3 points and 2.7 rebounds. He appeared in seven out of the team's nine games, with an average of 13.3 minutes per game. In one particular game, a 120 - 73 win over UAPB, he had a season - high 21 points in just 24 minutes. However, in the most recent game, an 88 - 71 loss to St. John’s, his performance was not up to par, as he played for just five minutes, logging two rebounds, two personal fouls and a turnover, going 0 - 1 from the field. The Wildcats are currently 6 - 3 on the year and have some tough matchups ahead, including games against Drake (12/17) and Wichita State (12/21) before opening up Big 12 play against No. 22 Cincinnati on December 30.

Impact on the Team

The dismissal of Achor Achor has had a notable impact on the Kansas State Wildcats. With his departure, the team now has to adjust their lineup and find ways to fill the void he left. His scoring and rebounding abilities were valuable, and his absence will be felt in both aspects. The coaching staff will need to work on finding suitable replacements and ensuring that the team's performance doesn't suffer too much in the short term. It also raises questions about the team's recruitment and player management strategies. How did this situation arise? What lessons can be learned from it? These are questions that the team and its fans will be pondering in the coming days and weeks.

Player's Performance and Development

Looking at Achor Achor's performance with the Kansas State Wildcats, it's clear that he had his moments. Despite some ups and downs, he did manage to contribute on the court. His average of 7.3 points and 2.7 rebounds per game shows that he was capable of making an impact. However, his recent struggles, especially in the most recent game against St. John’s, raise concerns about his development as a player. Was he unable to handle the pressure of Big 12 play? Or was there something else going on? These are questions that need to be addressed if the team wants to help him improve and reach his full potential. On the other hand, his previous performance at Samford gives hope that he still has the ability to be a productive player. It will be interesting to see how he progresses in the future and if he can find a new home where he can continue to develop his game.

Team's Future Outlook

The dismissal of Achor Achor also has implications for the future of the Kansas State Wildcats. With just a few games left before Big 12 play begins, the team needs to stay focused and work on improving their overall performance. They will need to rely on their remaining players to step up and fill the void left by Achor. This could be an opportunity for other players to showcase their skills and prove themselves. Additionally, the team will need to address any issues that led to Achor's dismissal to prevent similar situations from happening in the future. It will be a challenging time for the team, but with the right attitude and approach, they can come out stronger and more united. The upcoming games against Drake and Wichita State will be crucial in determining their direction and confidence going into Big 12 play.
