One of the names that had been tied to Iowa basketball throughout this transfer portal cycle chose an SEC destination.
Ace Glass, a 6-foot-3, 185-pound guard, committed to Vanderbilt over the weekend. Glass averaged 16.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game on 45.5% field goal shooting, 36.4% 3-point shooting and 88.2% free-throw shooting during his freshman season at Washington State.
Glass joins a Vanderbilt transfer portal class that also includes former Nebraska forward Berke Buyuktuncel and former Colorado forward Bangot Dak.
While Glass could have bolstered Iowa’s backcourt, the Hawkeyes landed a transfer portal guard of their own in former Illinois State guard Ty’Reek Coleman.
Like Glass, Coleman arrives in Iowa City with three seasons of remaining eligibility. As a freshman last season for the Redbirds, Coleman averaged 10.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game on 50.4% field goal shooting, 41.6% from 3-point range, and 70.2% from the free-throw line.
Iowa also added 7-foot-3 center Andrew McKeever from Saint Mary’s. McKeever averaged 8.2 points and 9.2 rebounds per game last season on 50% field goal shooting.
