After missing on multiple transfers, Iowa State now has its first men’s basketball transfer in the form of Tyler Harris from Memphis according to Corey Evans of Rivals.com and video from Harris’ twitter account.

The 5-foot 9-inch guard came off the bench for Memphis last season and averaged 8.7 points per game in 31 games. Harris shot 36.9 percent from the floor and 36.4 recent from three.

Harris started 15 games in his first season at Memphis, but was relegated to a bench role in his second season.

Iowa State lost a number of guards including Tyrese Haliburton and Prentiss Nixon who had both started the majority of games.

Head Coach Steve Prohm will add Harris to a solid recruiting class that is led by Xavier Foster, Dudley Blackwell, Darlinstone Dubar and Jaden Walker.
