Iowa State Cyclones Look to Rebound After Key Departure
The Iowa State Cyclones are preparing for the upcoming season after a surprising off‑season move that saw senior sharpshooter Milan Momcilovic decide to continue his career with the Kentucky Wildcats. Coach T.J. Otzelberger had already factored the inevitable departures into his roster planning, knowing that several key contributors would be leaving after exhausting their eligibility. Among those leaving, Momcilovic’s 3‑point prowess will be missed, but the Cyclones have identified a potential replacement in Jamarion Batemon, who burst onto the scene as a freshman with a 37 % shooting clip from beyond the arc. Batemon’s emergence is complemented by a wave of transfers who add depth at multiple positions. Tre Singleton and Taj Manning have joined the program, bringing experience and versatility that can help offset Momcilovic’s loss in rebounding and defense. The Cyclones have also bolstered their perimeter with several new 3‑point threats, including Jaquan Johnson, Ryan Prather Jr., and Leon Bond, ensuring the team will not rely on a single shooter. Adding to the excitement, incoming freshman Christian Wiggins captured the 2026 Gatorade Player of the Year Award in Minnesota, highlighting the high expectations surrounding his arrival. With a blend of returning talent, strategic additions, and a coaching staff that anticipated roster turnover, Iowa State feels optimistic about its chances to remain competitive in the Big 12.
