Iowa State has bolstered its frontcourt.
Louisiana Tech graduate transfer Merrill Holden has committed to the Cyclones, he told the Ames Tribune on Saturday.
The 6-foot-9 Holden fills a major void in the post for ISU, which graduated its starting frontcourt this spring after reaching the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament.
“They have a want and a need in the frontcourt,” Holden said in a phone interview, “and I’m going to help them with that.”
Holden, who made an official visit to ISU this week, averaged 8.1 points and 5.0 rebounds per game while shooting 51.
