Haynes Goes From Iowa to Iona

Ottumwa -- Michael Haynes has become the fifth member of this past season's Indian Hills basketball team to find an NCAA Division I home for next year.  Haynes has committed to Iona College in New York.

Haynes, a 6-foot-7, 240-pound power forward from Chicago, played one season for Indian Hills, averaging 6.9 points and 4.5 rebounds a game.  His high game of 17 points came in the season-opener against Indiana-Dabney.  He was an honorable mention all-region pick.

Iona is coming off a 25-8 season in which it made it to the NCAA Tournament.  The Gaels lost to BYU in the first round of the tourney.
