Iowa State Basketball signs two graduate transfers

Sports

May 9th, 2016 by admin

AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State men’s basketball team has announced the signing of graduate transfers Darrell Bowie (pronounced bo-ee) and Merrill (pronounced Muhrl) Holden. Both players are eligible to compete for the Cyclones in 2016-17.

“We are excited about the additions of Darrell and Merrill,” Prohm said. “Having multiple players graduate that played significant minutes from last year’s team, including more than 30 a game each from Georges (Niang), Jameel (McKay) and Abdel (Nader), we knew we would need to find experience and we were able to do that. I look forward to having them join our program and feel they will be big contributors to our team.”

Bowie, a 6-7 forward from Northern Illinois, committed to the Cyclones in March. He averaged 8.3 points and 5.2 rebounds in his three seasons with the Huskies.

Bowie redshirted the 2015-16 season while recovering from a shoulder injury suffered his junior season. Prior to suffering the injury in January of 2015, the Milwaukee, Wisconsin native was averaging 13.1 points and 7.1 rebounds. He finished his junior campaign averaging 9.8 points and 5.4 rebounds, scoring in double figures seven times in 17 games.

Holden, a 6-8 forward from Louisiana Tech, averaged 8.1 points and 5.0 rebounds in 23.4 minutes for the Bulldogs in 2015-16. Holden also posted 1.1 blocks and shot 51.6 percent from the field.

The Chicago, Illinois native scored in double figures nine times, including a 13 point-11 rebound double-double against North Texas. Holden, who started his career at Pratt Community College (Kan.), started the final 16 games last season, averaging 10.2 points and 5.3 rebounds as a starter.

Ernst to transfer from Iowa State hoops

Sports

May 9th, 2016 by admin

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head men’s basketball coach Steve Prohm announced Monday that freshman Brady Ernst will transfer from the program.

“We wish Brady the best in the future and appreciate his effort last season,” Prohm said. “He worked very hard for our program and I’ve enjoyed having the chance to coach him.”

Ernst saw action in six games before missing the remainder of the season because of issues with his knee, which was still recovering from an ACL tear suffered late during his senior year of high school. The Clinton, Iowa native averaged 0.3 points in 2.3 minutes as a freshman.

Iowa State has applied for a medical redshirt on Ernst’s behalf.

Sports

May 9th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) – A former Mount Mercy University basketball player has died after a Johnson County car crash. The accident occurred a little after 3 a.m. Sunday on Interstate 380 near the Iowa Highway 965 overpass. The Iowa State Patrol says a northbound car driven by 26-year-old Rashad Carrington went out of control and struck a guardrail, then landed in a roadside ditch. He was pronounced dead later at an Iowa City hospital.

Carrington graduated from Mount Mercy in 2013 and most recently was playing for the Cedar Valley CourtKings, a minor league basketball team based in Waterloo.
