Iowa State senior guard Jaren Holmes still feels like he has something to prove. Holmes transferred to ISU after averaging 13 and-a-half points and five rebounds at St. Bonaventure last season. He started all 33 games.
Holmes says that is the attitude he has played with his entire career.
As a fifth year senior Holmes is trying to provide leadership for a team that lost Izaiah Brockington and Tyrese Hunter off a team that played in the Sweet-16.
Holmes says he is leading in a positive way.
Iowa punter Tory Taylor says he is always seeking ways to improve. Taylor average just over 46 yards per punt for the Hawkeyes last season after using primarily a rugby style of punting as a freshman.
Taylor says he worked on more spiral punting last season.
Taylor says he wants to drop more punts inside the ten next season and says working with the gunners on the punt team is key.
