Former four-star Mississippi State guard Kanye Clary to enter transfer portal

Kanye Clary will be one-and-done in Starkville. The Mississippi State point guard will be entering the transfer portal, per an announcement. He made his intentions known prior to the window opening next week. 

Clary came to MSU from Penn State and was a former four-star recruit out of Massanutten Military Academy (Virginia Beach, VA). He initially signed with the Nittany Lions as saw limited time as a true freshman. Bulldogs coach Chris Jans saw him as an option to run the offense, but fell short of expectations after seven games.

At that point, Clary was sidelined due to injury and missed the rest of the season. Many expected he would return for his senior season but that's not the case. He contributed 6.3 points per game during his time with MSU. 

At 6-foot and 180 pounds, Clary posted his best year as a sophomore, averaging 16.7 points, which was eighth-best in the Big Ten. He started 20 games before a pair of injuries ended the season in February.

The NCAA transfer portal for basketball opens up on March 24 this year and runs through April 22. The window was moved back one week to allow players participating in March Madness.
