Rasir Bolton, Iowa State’s top scorer, says he’ll transfer

<p>AMES, Iowa &mdash; Rasir Bolton, Iowa State’s leading scorer this past season, has entered the NCAA transfer portal and will be looking to play at his third school in four years.</p>
<p>Bolton left Penn State in 2019 after then-coach Patrick Chambers made a race-tinged comment to Bolton. Chambers resigned in October 2020.</p>
<p>Bolton averaged 15.5 points per game for an Iowa State team that won only two games. Coach Steve Prohm was fired, replaced by T.J. Otzelberger.</p>
<p>In announcing his plan to transfer, Bolton tweeted, “On March 11th I stated my continued commitment to CyclONEnation, I later learned that every decision is not ours to make.”</p>
<p>Bolton started 50 of 51 games in two seasons at Iowa State and averaged 15 points, four rebounds and 3.3 assists.</p>
<p>The native of Petersburg, Virginia, will have one year of eligibility as a graduate transfer.</p>
