 AMES, Iowa AP Iowa State knew it needed an instant infusion of veteran talent after its worst record in seven years. The Cyclones are yet again leaning on a senior transfer, this time intriguing guardforward Marial Shayok. The 6-foot-6 Shayok, who was a starter for powerhouse Virginia two years ago, is expected to be a crucial piece for a Cyclones program coming off a painful 13-18 finish in 2017-18. Iowa State has been at the forefront in integrating short-term veteran solutions like Will Clyburn, DeAndre Kane and Bryce Dejean-Jones into its roster in recent years. In signing Shayok, coach Steve Prohm emulated the formula Fred Hoiberg deployed to help make the Cyclones a consistent Big 12 contender.
