AMES, Iowa (AP) Chicago dealt Iowa State a major blow a few years ago when the Bulls hired coach Fred Hoiberg, then known as "The Mayor" in Ames.

Cyclones fans might warm up to the Windy City when they see the talent that Hoiberg's successor, Steve Prohm, has brought in from the basketball hotbed of the Midwest.

Four-star wings Talen Horton-Tucker and Zion Griffin and three-star center George Conditt IV - all friends from the Chicagoland area - are expected to give the Cyclones (13-18 in 2017-18) a major boost. The season opener is Nov. 6 against Alabama State.
