Colin Blaydes was running out of time.
Colin, a basketball player, had recently finished two years at a community college.
It was time to decide where he would go to finish his degree and complete his last two years of eligibility.
Colleges in Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri and even as far away as North Carolina had offered him scholarships, with the best offer coming from a university in Iowa—close to a full ride for his last two years of college.
The Iowa coach wanted an answer.
“We have this nice deal for you,” Colin remembers the coach saying. “If you’re not coming, I need to know so that I can give it to someone else.”
Just one problem.
