MANHATTAN (KSNT) – C.J. Jones is coming back.
The Kansas State guard has withdrawn his name from the transfer portal and will return to Manhattan for his senior season, giving the Wildcats a key piece back in their backcourt rotation.
Jones entered the portal in April after one year at K-State, where he appeared in all 33 games and made nine starts. He averaged 5.7 points, 1.5 assists, and 1.7 rebounds in just under 19 minutes per game last season.
