Iowa State and a pair of Nor Cal talents

Alex Halsted/All Cyclones writes about the top prospects Iowa State is recruiting and two northern California talents are included:

"Emmanuel Malou | PF | Yuba College (Calif.)

Iowa State showed interest in Emmanuel Malou before he went the JUCO route out of prep school, and the Cyclones are back in the mix now as he enters his final season at Yuba (Calif.) College.

Malou has offers from Arizona, West Virginia, Texas Tech, Arizona State, Oklahoma State and Oregon among others and recently stopped at Iowa State before heading back to school.

“I don't have a top-5 of schools I like yet, but if I was to have one, Iowa State would be at the top right now,” Malou said following his recent visit. "My visit was wonderful, the staff was quite nice people. I feel like Iowa has just nice people generally and they were so welcoming.”

Malou planned to begin setting his five official visits when he returned to school, but isn't yet sure when he might commit. Iowa State, though, is in good shape."

and

"Solomon Young | PF | Sacramento, Calif.

Sacramento (Calif.) forward Solomon Young started hearing from Iowa State after assistant T.J. Otzelberger arrived. Otzelberger had recruited him to Washington, which has offered but has since cooled its interest.

Young will take an official visit to Iowa State on Aug. 28, he told AllCyclones.com, and hopes to wrap up visits in the fall before committing shortly after. He has received strong interest from St. Mary’s, USF, Nevada and UC-Irvine, and Texas recently entered the fold.

"They told me they’re losing seniors so I’ll have a good chance to play a lot of minutes when I come in as a freshman," Young said of Iowa State."
