To put a bow on this college basketball season, we’re resurrecting a once-dormant series of ours where we ask each returning Cyclone to “step into our office” to review the season that was, and take a shot at what next season could look like for them.
First up is a sophomore-to-be point guard that caught a lot of people by surprise this season, and has the look of a program cornerstone for the next three years, Tyrese Haliburton.
Season at a Glance
Coming to Ames as an under-the-radar three-star prospect out of Oshkosh, WI, Haliburton was thought to be much closer to a redshirt candidate than an eventual starter, especially given his wiry frame at 6’5” 175 lbs and a “set” jump shot that would make it more difficult to get shots off quickly against Big 12 defenses.
