Ames is unbeaten and a unanimous No. 1 in the latest Class 4A rankings. Everyone knows about the Little Cyclones’ Harrison Barnes, a 6-7 junior who is the most highly recruited player in Iowa high school history. Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and UCLA are among the dozens of schools that have extended an offer to Barnes. Iowa State and Iowa are the list, too.
Now another 6-7 Ames junior is starting to get noticed. He’s Doug McDermott, the son of Iowa State Coach Greg McDermott. Doug is averaging 18 points since becoming a starter for the Little Cyclones in late January.
Here’s a link to a story on McDermott from the Ames Tribune:
