FARGO — Maleeck Harden-Hayes is sure there will be some weird feelings seeing North Dakota State on the opposite side of the floor.
The Moorhead native publicly addressed his transfer to Kansas City for the first time on Wednesday on Hot Mic with Dom Izzo. After his third season with the Bison finished, Harden-Hayes met with NDSU head coach Dave Richman and told him about his decision to make a move.
The focus was on a better fit for his skills on the floor.
"A tough situation, me being a Fargo-Moorhead kid going to NDSU, hopefully having a great four year career," Harden-Hayes said. "I just think things didn't really click between me and Dave as I wanted it to. Maybe it was the system."
"I know everybody has a role. Me personally, I just felt like I could have done a little bit more out there on the court."
