Plenty of holes for Cyclones to fill
Iowa State 'starting over after losing four starters
By Bill Kenealy
Kansan sportswriter
For the Iowa State men's basketball team, this is the year after.
Last year, the Cyclones had their best season to date. They won a school-record 23 games, including two at the expense of Kansas, and peaked at No.11 in the national rankings.
The Cyclones will be hard pressed to duplicate their success. They lost four starters from last year's squad, all of whom averaged in double figures.
Guard Fred "the Mayor" Hoiberg has moved on to a higher office. He is a now a member of the NBA's Indiana Pacers. Likewise, center Loren Meyer now applies his post moves for the Dallas Mavericks. Also gone are starting forwards Hurl Beechum and Julius Michalik.
And finally, guard Jason Kimbrough, who started 12 games last season, has transferred to Western Michigan.
Even Iowa State men's basketball coach Tim Floyd acknowledges how great the losses are. In all, the Cyclones lost nine players from last year's 14-man roster and 95 percent of the team's scoring.
"I wish old Freddie was back, Michalik was back and Meyer, Beechum and Kimbrough, they all look pretty good to me now," Floyd said. "The bottom line
is we lost our starter and back-up at the five spot, our four, three, two and one of our point guards."
The only returning starter is junior guard Jacy Holloway, who averaged 1.8 points and 4.9 assists a game last season.
Last season, Holloway's main task was to distribute the ball. This year, he will need to score more.
"I worked real hard this summer on my shot. I worked a little with Fred Hoiberg," Holloway said. "Hopefully, it will pav off."
Junior guard Joe Modderman also saw action last season and averaged 2.3 points a game.
This bright spot for Floyd and the Cyclones may be this year's recruiting class. The Cyclones primary problem will be a lack of experience, and not talent.
Among the new faces is Tyler Peterson, a highly recruited 7-foot freshman from Washington, Iowa. Peterson will get help down low from another freshmen, 6-foot-11 center Tony Rampton.
Even more help at the post will come in December when Kelvin Cato, a 6-11 transfer, becomes eligible. The Lithonia native finished seventh nationally in blocked shots while a sophomore at South Alabama, his first season of organized basketball.
Cato isn't the only transfer expected to contribute. The brothers Walton — Carlo and Shelby — transferred from Seward County Community College in Liberal. The two high-scoring guards led Seward County to the Jayhawk Conference title.
Floyd's primary concern is a lack of reliable perimeter shooting.
"I think rebuilding is a good word," Floyd said. "We're basically starting over."

iowa State junior guard Jacy Holloway may have bigger opponents than Kansas' Raef LaFrentz this year. Iowa State returns only 5 percent of its scoring from last year.
