Iowa State’s in-state, defense-first center with efficient hands
Ross Marsden was a 6-foot-10 Iowa State center from Ames, known as the top prep player in Iowa in the 2005 class and a strong interior defender with good hands and a soft touch around the rim. In the 2005-06 season, he started 18 games and led the Cyclones in field-goal percentage at 53.2%; in the 2006-07 season, he shot 68.4% from the floor despite missing time recovering from mono. If you value size, local pride, and a big man who plays with discipline and efficiency, he’s the kind of low-drama, high-utility fit coaches like to stash near the paint.
