Best of luck to Solo. He won't be in the NBA, but he should be able to make money playing somewhere.
Nothing but love to the guy for his long-term service to the program and fighting through so much pain.
Thanks, Solo, for your perseverance, toughness, and leadership, often in the face of undesired results. Go Cyclones!!
Makes sense. Guy has had some bad luck with injuries; I certainly wish him the best.
Solo was one of my favorite players on the 2016-2017 team.
Wish Solo the best. I will say I would take JCL for another year
I remember one of the announcers of one of the games saying he talked to him about a seventh year, and Coleman-Lands didn't seem like he was very into it. Completely understandable if he wants to move on with his life at this point after so much basketball. He played 20 minutes and scored five points against Georges...

Solo deserves nothing but seriously mad props.
As bad as this team has been (and others he's been on) he was always an easy guy to cheer for. I don't blame him in the least for taking his game to the next level. Get paid while you can. Guy has had some injury issues and probably doesn't have a super big window to make money playing this game.
A few ESPN commentators have hinted that they talked to JCL about coming back. They said it didn't sound likely.
Isn’t he like 25 already? Announcers have commented on him starting his own business as well. Can’t see him sticking around.
This is perfect for Solo. He can play overseas for a couple of years and then be Medicare-eligible.
Joking aside, crazy how long it seems he has been around!

He's our last link player-wise to the last ISU team to win a game in the NCAA tournament. Wow.
I hope he goes for a career-high tomorrow.
