Iowa State lands guard from UNLV

AMES — Iowa State lost its top two backcourt scorers, Jaren Holmes and Gabe Kalscheur, to graduation last season, but Sunday added a highly sought transfer in UNLV’s Keshon Gilbert.

The 6-foot-4 combo guard from St. Louis announced his commitment on social media.

He averaged 11.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.7 steals last season. He also shot 38.4 percent from 3-point range and scored 14 or more points 11 times.

Gilbert’s addition complements ISU head coach T.J. Otzelberger’s top-10 recruiting class that includes highly-touted prospects Omaha Biliew and Milan Momcilovic. Biliew, a 6-8 forward from Waukee, is the No. 11-ranked recruit in the Class of 2023 according to 247 Sports. Momcilovic, a 6-8 forward from Pewaukee, Wis., is ranked 35th nationally.
