His play on the court definitely is deserving, but leaving early might be a factor.

I hope in the next 10 years we get Ejim's jersey up there.

If this is a requirement, its completely stupid.

Carmelo Anthony is one of like 10 players to have their jersey retired at Syracuse and he was there one season. I loved Ejim but Fizer was way better in basketball and more deserving IMO

No like graduated in 2008. Thats why he came back shortly as an assistant coach. So he could get his degree.

What exactly are the requirements to have your jersey hung at Iowa State? I expect to see Georges, Ejim, and Morris up there at sometime in the future if they all meet the requirements. Probably getting a little bold with the Morris prediction but I'm going to stand by it.
