AMES, Iowa – Iowa State men's basketball signee Emmanuel Malou will remain in the NBA Draft and forgo his college eligibility.
"Manny has informed us that he will stay in the NBA Draft," Iowa State head coach Steve Prohm said. "We wish him the best as he pursues his dream of playing basketball professionally in the NBA."
Malou, a forward from Melbourne, Australia, signed with the Cyclones in November while attending Yuba College (California). He was ranked as the No. 2 JUCO player in the nation and a four-star recruit according to 247sports.com.
"After careful consideration, I have decided that it is time to pursue my NBA dream and sign with an agent," Malou said. "I know that it is going to require a huge amount of work, but I am motivated and excited for the challenges that lie ahead. I would like to thank all the staff at Iowa State for all that they have done for me. I want to wish them and the players the best of luck in the coming season."
