Adding a graduate transfer big man is huge for the outlook of ISU's 2016-17 season.
It's widely known that Iowa State could feature one of the best backcourts in America this coming season.
The frontcourt? Well, that's another story.
With the graduation of Georges Niang, Jameel McKay and Abdel Nader to go along with questions surrounding the eligibility of incoming big man Emmanuel Malou, the Cyclones desperately needed to get some good news regarding their interior personnel. Good news came on Saturday evening when Cyclone Fanatic's Chris Williams reported that Louisiana Tech graduate transfer Merrill Holden would be signing with ISU.
