Iowa State basketball coach T. J. Otzelberger says he built a coaching staff that will help blanket the upper Midwest on the recruiting trail.
Otzelberger rounded out his staff this week with the hiring of J.R. Blount from Colorado State and longtime Northern Iowa assistant Kyle Green.
Otzelberger says recruiting in the region is a priority.
The Cyclones had success in past years recruiting the state of Minnesota and Otzelberger says that will be a priority.
For Green, the toughest part of the move is no longer coaching his son AJ. The 2020 Missouri Valley Conference player of the year is staying at UNI.
Green says AJ had no desire to leave UNI. He missed this past season after undergoing hip surgery.
