(Radio Iowa) – Iowa State basketball coach Steve Prohm is confident the Cyclones will make major strides next season. The Cyclones add four freshmen and three transfers to a team that struggled to a 12-20 record a year ago. It was Iowa State’s second losing season in three years.

Prohm says the three transfers this spring will add scoring punch. Tyler Harris transferred from Memphis. Jalen Coleman-Lands played at De Paul and Blake Hinson at Ole Miss.

The Cyclones bounced back from a losing season by posting 23 wins in 2019 and Prohm is confident of similar improvement.

Cyclone guard Rasir Bolton says one of the reasons he transferred from Penn State was racially insensitive remarks by Nittany Lion coach Pat Chambers. Bolton was second on the Cyclones in in scorning at just over 14 and a half points per game.
