A three-star prospect out of Carroll, IA, Adam Haluska was recruited by Larry Eustachy to bring the program back to the NCAA Tournament following a poor 12-19 season after the departure of Jamaal Tinsley. In his freshman season at Iowa State, Haluska started all 31 games for the Cyclones while shooting 38% from the field and 33% from three. While those stats won’t blow you away, it was clear to see that Haluska was talented and could be a huge part of the Cyclones gameplan for the next few years.
Then, Larry Eustachy was fired for an incident which occured after a game at Mizzou.
