Mandatory Credit: Gregory Fisher-Imagn Images Brock Vice, a 6’10”, 240-pound forward, most recently with the Murray State Racers, became Coach Casey Alexander’s first portal commitment as the head Wildcat. A member of the 2023 recruiting class, Vice, signed with Creighton out of Houston High School in Memphis, Tennessee, where he averaged 17.

5 points and 14 rebounds as a senior. He was ranked as the 40th center, the 3rd best player in the state of Tennessee, and a 3* prospect. He chose Creighton over offers from Belmont, St.

Louis, and Tulsa. After a season on the shelf as a redshirt for Creighton, Vice jumped in the portal and signed with the North Texas Mean Green. He failed to make his mark as a redshirt freshman, appearing in only 5 games during the 2024-25 season.

After a season in Denton, he packed his bags once again and blazed a trail back east to Murray State, where his college career finally found some traction as a redshirt sophomore for the Racers. He appeared in 30 games as a reserve, averaging 2 points and 2 rebounds in about 5 minutes of action per game. Yes, you read that right, he averaged 2 points and 2 rebounds off the bench at Murray State last season.
