IOWA CITY — Illinois State transfer Ty'Reek Coleman has officially signed with the Iowa men's basketball program, the school announced.
Coleman averaged 10 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 50.4% from the field and 41.6% from deep as a true freshman at Illinois State. The 6-foot-2 guard will come to the Hawkeyes with three seasons of eligibility remaining.
“Ty’Reek is a twitchy, efficient scorer,” said Iowa coach Ben McCollum said in a release. “He has a knack for being able to get into the lane to finish and he’s going to be a weapon in the pick-and-roll and drive-and-kick situations in our offense. Defensively, he is a strong guard who can really pressure the ball. We’re excited for Ty’Reek to join our program this summer.”
Coleman started 19 of his 35 appearances for the Redbirds last season. He scored in double figures 15 times, including a career-high 24 points against Cornell in November. He also had a 22-point, five-rebound, four-assist, four-steal performance against Murray State in February.
