Report: Northern Illinois transfer to visit Iowa State

Last week it was Maine’s Justin Edwards. 

According to Travis Hines of the Ames Tribune, this weekend former Northern Illinois wing Abdel Nader will visit Iowa State.

Cavan Walsh from ChicagoHoops.com first reported this news yesterday via Twitter. 

Nadar, a 6-foot-7 win, scored 13.1 points (a team high), recorded 5.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game for Northern Illinois last season as a sophomore. 

Nadar has two years of eligibility remaining for his college career and will likely have to sit next season out due to NCAA transfer rules. 

CycloneFanatic.com will keep you updated on this developing story throughout the weekend.
