AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State has signed prep forward Cameron Lard to a letter of intent. Lard, a 6-foot-9, 220-pound forward from Louisiana, missed his senior season because of transfer rules. But as a junior, Lard averaged 16 points and 10 rebounds at Natchitoches Central High School.

Lard, the fifth member of coach Steve Prohm’s first recruiting class, was rated as a four-star recruit by ESPN and 247sports.com. Lard might play immediately next season since the Cyclones lose post players Georges Niang, Jameel McKay and Abdel Nader to graduation.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa defensive end Drew Ott’s college career is finished after his appeal for an extra year of eligibility was denied by the NCAA. Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz confirmed the NCAA’s decision Wednesday, saying he was disappointed in both the decision and the process.

Ott suffered a knee and an elbow injury during Iowa’s sixth game in 2015, injuries that cost him the rest of the season. He had hoped to put off the NFL for another season. But instead he’ll have to take his chances in the draft without being able to work out for any teams.

Ott’s departure will likely give redshirt freshman Matt Nelson a chance to start next fall.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — A former Iowa State University basketball player who faced a rape charge that was later dropped is suing the school, claiming its response ruined his chances of playing professional basketball. The Des Moines Register reports Bubu Palo’s lawsuit accuses university officials of wrongly punishing him even after the criminal case against him was dropped. The suit also names the Iowa Board of Regents.

Palo was charged with felony sexual abuse in 2012 after a female student accused him of rape. The case was dropped due to lack of evidence, but ISU President Steven Leath barred Palo from playing, saying he violated student conduct rules.

Leath’s decision was eventually overturned, but Palo says he faced scrutiny due to the punishment. University officials haven’t responded to the complaint.
