German shooting guard Lucca Staiger, meanwhile, said he'll stay at the school no matter the outcome of an appeal of an NCAA decision that he must sit out this year.
"I really like it here," Staiger told The Des Moines Register today. "The coaches and fans have been great to me. I want to stay here and get an education."
Staiger told McDermott of his intentions Monday.
"I'm thrilled that he's staying," McDermott said
Wow. Good news for Iowa State. I was forgetting what that felt like.
GREAT news, especially today.
See my avatar for an accurate description of what I'm doing right now.
With the news earlier today I am relieved but after being punched so many times I just don't know how to react to this?
Why are you beating your head against the wall???Quote:

Maybe he said that because he was told he could play.....ahhh wishful thinking.
Thank goodness, we can't afford losing anymore players.
Not that it will factor into the NCAA's decision, maybe he should have held this news until after they made their decision on whether he's eligible this year or not. I guess this also tells the committee that he is serious about getting an education in the United States!
Great news! Thanks Lucca
The NCAA doesn't give a rat's *** about his education. They don't give a rat's *** about anything except making money and they've proven that over and over again.Quote:

God bless this man. I've had a pretty bad day today and this just gives me a big lift. I really wish the best for Lucca because it has to be hard to stomach what's happening with the NCAA.
