Cyclones look to continue their rise in the Big 12 with one of the nation's most experienced teams
Iowa State improved from four to seven wins last season, and the Cyclones are in position to build on that number with a manageable schedule and a bevy of experienced players. The Cyclones bring back 19 starters, tied with Iowa for third most in the nation behind Virginia Tech (22) and Oklahoma State (21), according to 247Sports. Ninth-year coach Matt Campbell said for a program that must rely on player development rather than recruiting five-star athletes to have success, retaining talent is one of his most challenging tasks in the transfer portal era. “We just are not going to ever be the people that have the most money or most NIL money,” Campbell said. “We’ll have to be the team that develops our players better than anybody. When we have been at our best, we’ve been older and been able to keep our guys and get older.”
