The first commitment of the Steve Prohm era is in the books, and he's a local fellow.
Brady Ernst, a 6'8", 215 lb Forward from Clinton, Iowa, will join the Cyclones for the upcoming season. According to Rivals.com, he also had offers from Drake, Lehigh, Northern Iowa, San Diego and South Dakota. Recently retained assistant coach, T.J. Otzelberger, led the way in recruiting the local big man.
During the most recent high school season, Ernst was averaging nearly 17 points and 12 rebounds per game before suffering an ACL injury in late February. Despite the setback, Ernst plans on being ready to compete at the start of the season.
