Over the offseason and especially this fall, Monte Morris has gotten a ton of hype. And for good reason. He has been an incredible player for the Cyclones the past three years, and with a solid senior year will go down as one of the best to ever do it for Iowa State. He has been named a preseason All-American and preseason Big 12 Player of the Year. These accomplishments are very well deserved and nothing to sneeze at.
There have been an infinite amount of musings from analysts and fans alike about how Morris needs to play this season for the Cyclones to be successful or what his role needs to be for Steve Prohm’s squad to make another NCAA Tournament run.
