AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head men’s basketball coach T.J. Otzelberger has announced the signing of 6-10 post player Robert Jones, a transfer from Denver that originally hails from Prior Lake, Minnesota. Jones will have three years to play for the Cyclones.
“Robert’s motor, enthusiasm and ability to sprint the floor will elevate our program,” Otzelberger said. “He’s a physical defensive presence who understands protecting the rim. It became clear during the recruiting process that Robert’s top priority was impacting a winning culture. He will certainly have that opportunity here.”
Jones saw action in 15 games as a sophomore, averaging 9.1 points and shooting 53.8 percent from the field. He also averaged 5.0 rebounds per game, posting a defensive rebound rate of 24 percent, which ranked third among Summit League players.
His best game came in the season finale against Omaha when he finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks.
In 2020-21, Jones reached double figures five times, scoring a season-high 23 points against Regis and 17 points against North Dakota. He made 7-of-9 field goals against the Fighting Hawks
Jones has always been efficient from the floor, shooting 57.8 percent as a freshman and 57 percent overall in his two seasons with the Pioneers. He averaged 9.0 points and pulled down 1.8 offensive rebounds in his initial collegiate campaign.
He had a 21 point and seven rebound performance as a freshman against North Dakota State in the Summit League Tournament. He also posted an 11-point, 11-rebound performance against South Dakota State. NDSU and SDSU were co-regular season champions in the league in 2019-20, with NDSU claiming the auto bid by winning the tournament before the season was canceled.
Jones was a three-star prospect out of Prior Lake High School.
(Radio Iowa) – The former Superintendent of the Sioux City Wastewater Treatment Plant will spend three months in prison for cheating on environmental testing at the plant. Sixty-three-year-old Jay Earnest Niday of Sergeant Bluff, Iowa pleaded guilty in October to one count of conspiracy and one count of knowingly rendering inaccurate a monitoring device required by the Clean Water Act.
The court information shows Niday and others knew that the wastewater treatment plant could not consistently disinfect the millions of gallons of wastewater that the plant was sending into the Missouri River each day from 2011 until June of 2015. They used higher levels of chlorine in the water to hide the issue.
Niday was also fined six-thousand dollars — and ordered to repay 25-hundred dollars in court-appointed attorney fees.
(Radio Iowa) – Governor Kim Reynolds has signed a bill into law that gets rid of the requirement that Iowans get state permits to purchase and carry pistols and revolvers. The state permits for buying and carrying a concealed handgun will be voluntary. However Iowans who wish to carry a handgun in other states that require and recognize Iowa permits may continue to get one. Critics say the bill creates a loophole on private gun sales, since the state permit process for buying handguns that is now optional requires a background check.
Supporters of the law say it gets rid of the state permission slip for a constitutional right under the 2nd amendment. Governor Reynolds issued a written statement Friday afternoon, emphasizing a section of the law that makes it a felony to knowingly sell a handgun to someone who cannot legally own a gun. Reynolds says state officials will never be able to outlaw or prevent every single bad actor from getting a gun, but this new law ensures law-abiding citizens have full access to their constitutional rights while keeping Iowans safe.
