Alec Kagan is in his second season as a graduate student manager in 2025-26 after spending one season (2023-24) as a graduate assistant at Arkansas.
Kagan came to K-State after working one season (2023-24) as a graduate assistant for head coach Eric Musselman at Arkansas, where he oversaw player development and conducted daily on-court workouts with Razorback players. He was part of a staff that compiled the 12th-best recruiting class in the country, including the second-best in the SEC.
Kagan’s stint at Arkansas came after working one season (2022-23) as a team attendant for the G-League’s Indiana Mad Ants and the WNBA’s Indiana Fever. He aided in player development for both organizations, while he assisted the staff with various gameday responsibilities. The Mad Ants posted an 18-14 overall record and advanced to the conference quarterfinals, while two players (Gabe York and Trevelin Queen) were selected to the G-League’s Next Up Game.
A native of Cincinnati, Ohio and a two-time UC graduate, Kagan began his college career as a team manager for head coach Mick Cronin with the Bearcats in 2016-17. He assisted in various aspects of the program, including compiling scouting reports and breaking down game footage. The Bearcats posted a 30-6 overall record, including a win over K-State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, before a loss to UCLA in the Round of 32.
Kagan returned to the hardwood as a player at the University of Cincinnati-Clermont from 2018-20, a United Stats Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) program in Batavia, Ohio. He was a two-time team captain for head coach Steve Ellis, earning USCAA Academic All-America honors in 2019-20.
Kagan was a volunteer assistant coach with the Fordham men’s basketball program in 2020-21.
Kagan graduated magna cum laude from Cincinnati in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. He earned a master’s degree in Sports Administration from Cincinnati in 2019. He is working towards a master’s in mass communications at K-State.
