    sounds like bad conjucture on my part..

    Against Nebraska Lucca came close to blowing a knee in the second half. I'm convinced that is the reason he left. He sees basketball as his income support, and came very close to a potential career ending injury. I personally don't blame him for going home. If he can get a contract to play, why risk it here? I don't condon leaving mid season, but it had to be a real eye opener for him. Without that knee rollup, I'm convinced he would still be at Iowa State. No inside info, just conjecture.

    Re: Lucca's near knee blowout the reason...

    Again? this is the third one and I disagree becaus ehe reportedly had a ticket Saturday to leave. This stuff doesn't happen in 4 days.

    Sounds like he already had his plane ticket booked. I think he already knew what he was going to do.

    Maybe there should be a rule that you can't post in a thread until you have read what others have already posted. Your conjecture has already been shot down by a poster with good sources to the program.

    Re: Lucca's near knee blowout the reason...

    I disagree too. The reason is opportunity met need/want. I'm guessing he's been waiting and I bet he had an agent searching as well. Just bad timing for ISU. That would explain him practicing right up until the end - to not create more controversy than necessary, and to hedge bets.

    No the real reason is he was a German spy and he has completed his mission.

    I'm convinced that you are wrong.

    Even if this was true he should have thought of the risks before he committed to his teammates. He made a commitment and bailed.

    I thought he had just purchased a car on Monday. Why would he buy a car on Monday, if he had a plane ticket purchased on Saturday?
