The Iowa State Cyclones were one of the top teams in the Big 12 this season despite dealing with multiple key injuries. Their offseason is already underway after they fell to Ole Miss in the second round of the 2025 NCAA Tournament. Head coach T.J. Otzelberger is looking to use the college basketball transfer portal to his advantage as he tries to keep his team near the top of the sport. The portal opened on Monday, and there has already been significant movement involving the Cyclones.
More than 700 players entered the portal on Monday, and they have until April 22 to add their name to the list.
