The Iowa Hawkeyes are seeing another player enter the transfer portal, with guard committing to TCU.
During his sophomore season, He played in 33 games, starting 24 of them. He averaged 8.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. Harding also posted shooting percentages of 45.4% from the field and 39.8% from beyond the arc.
Harding joins a long list of Hawkeyes who have entered the transfer portal or committed elsewhere.
Former Iowa head coach Fran McCaffrey praised Harding’s contribution last season.
“A lot of times he finds himself on the floor at the end of the game,” McCaffery said. “He’s tough. He’s smart. He has that ability to come back after a turnover — because he had a couple before that. When that shot left his hands, I think we all knew it was good.”
Harding led Iowa in steals per game, causing problems for opponents with his defense while also shooting efficiently from three-point range.
His departure is another major setback for Iowa as new head coach Ben McCollum steps in and works to reshape the roster. To fill the void left by Harding’s contributions, McCollum will need to find a player who can shoot from long range and defend effectively.
