    EYz2YYA1_400x400Emmanuel Malou, a 6-foot-9, 210-pound power forward from Yuba College (CA), verbally committed to Iowa State on Friday.

    “With Coach [Steve] Prohm and Coach T.J. [Otzelberger], I just feel so comfortable with everything,” he told Chris Williams of CycloneFanatic.com. “I’ve never been so sure about something in my life. I feel like it is just the right decision for me. I have so much support in Iowa and I’m familiar with the area. I’m just happy, so happy.”

    A native of Australia, Malou also held offers from Kansas, Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon, West Virginia, Oregon State, Marquette, Oklahoma State Texas Tech.

    He averaged 14.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game last season at Yuba, but prior to that attended ABCD, a prep school in Des Moines.

    “When I was out there, it was like a second home to me,” Malou told Williams. “I feel like I’m going home when I go to Iowa.”

    Malou is the Cyclones’ third commit in 2016, following combo guard Donovan Jackson and big man Solomon Young.
