The coach said go. Declare for the NBA.
The heart said no. Stay in school.
The heart won out. Point guard Monte Morris chose to return to Iowa State. He announced his move on Friday.
“My decision was just weighed on how I was feeling in my heart,” Morris said, “and my heart is just stay here one more year and try to get things done.”
Morris knew Wednesday. The 12 days it took to get there weren’t easy. When ISU’s season ended, he thought he would enter the NBA draft. Test the waters and not hire an agent.
