Back to EpisodesIowa State Cyclones: Top Contender Despite Roster Shakeup
Description
Iowa State Cyclones mens basketball, despite significant roster departures, maintains high expectations for the 2026-27 season. Key players like Tamin Lipsey, Joshua Jefferson, and Nate Heise have graduated, and Cade Kelderman has transferred. Milan Momcilovic is exploring the NBA draft. However, the team retains a strong core with Killyan Toure, Jamarion Batemon, Blake Buchanan, and Dominykas Pleta. A promising freshman class, including Yusef Gray Junior, Christian Wiggins, Jackson Kiss, and Dorian Rinaldo-Komlan, also joins the roster. Despite the challenges, Iowa State remains a top contender, with analysts like CJ Moore ranking them eighth nationally and second in the Big Twelve. The teams success hinges on Milan Momcilovics decision to return as a senior, as his long-range game could open up the floor.
