Nice Edozie Story

[Cyclonepride]

I would really like him to get a start next Monday, but with a conference title on the line against a tough team, I would think we would play 100% for the win.

All the more incentive for the guys to create some space to get him in there late.

Wow. Just wow. That is one powerful article.

It would be nice if his foster mom could come for senior day. I'm guessing that there might not be money for that. It would be compassionate of the ncaa to allow iowa state to pay for it. But we know they aren't compassionate.

Great story and thanks for sharing! Daniel is just one of those guys you love to root for. For some reason I've had a feeling all year that at some point he is going to be called upon and then he comes up big time. Maybe it comes in the tourney. Glad he is a Cyclone.

Great story. Definitely puts things back into perspective and hopefully gets shared more. Often times the little things are taken for granted and some don't realize or experience the slightest struggles that others go through.

I wish nothing but the best for a kid who seems so humble and appreciative of what he has and where is at today.

You can tell his experience is very raw, but the athleticism and potential is there given a little more time.

I've read his story before so I knew most of this but it still brought tears to my eyes. I wish nothing but the best for the kid.

Daniel's story is so compelling. I'm very happy that he's a Cyclone. What an incredible role model and character. I wish nothing but the very best for that man. I hope Hilton absolute erupts for him on Senior Night!

It would be nice if his foster mom could come for senior day. I'm guessing that there might not be money for that. It would be compassionate of the ncaa to allow iowa state to pay for it. But we know they aren't compassionate.

Would be a nice gesture for Fred or JP to fly her out. Not sure if it would set a precedence but we need to get her here for Senior Day. No doubt about it.

Best thing is he is on pace to graduate. Has made the best of his situation, and is going to get a degree. Heck of a role player.

Absolutely amazing. We always beg for toughness out of our basketball teams, but he completely redefines the term. Thanks for posting.

 

[NickTheGreat]

Wow. I had no idea about much of this.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

It's a true credit to Daniel to come from where he did and still be as humble and gracious as he is. Great role model.

 

[FredForever]

There will be Nigerian flags on senior night. Lets get it done people.

 

[NWICY]

Never knew about this wow what a story. Best of luck on the future Daniel. He has already overcome more than many of us will ever endure.

What can you say after reading that? Blows you away.
No question that Daniel will be a huge success in life. I hope Daniel gets a 10 minute standing ovation on senior night. Just an incredible story that most of us will never be able to totally appreciate.

What is his major? There will be people standing in line to hire this young man.

Heard about it before but still hits hard and awe inspiring to watch again.
