Good Luck Logan! I know that you will be an excellent Sycamore in whatever you choose to do.

"Logan made an unbelievably mature and difficult decision," coach Lansing announced. "He is involved in so many important things outside of basketball that the time commitment it takes to be a part of a team made it tough. Logan is, and always will be a part of our Basketball Family. His contributions to our success last year were as important as any player on the team. Although it didn't come in playing time during games, his daily work ethic and team attitude were vital to us. I told Logan he can come back next week, or in January if he wants. The door will always be open. We know that his academic pursuits and the valuable work he does with campus ministries will continue to affect the student body as well as our team in a very positive way. Sycamore Basketball, our staff and players can't thank Logan enough and know he will be a huge success in all he does."

"I have the utmost respect for the Sycamores coaches and players," Eitel commented. "My situation is unique and its one in which I am simply moving on better things. This is a positive decision in that I am pursuing what is best for me. There are more great things in life than just basketball. I have no regrets over the last two years and I have enjoyed every minute. My life is dedicated to Jesus and I have commitments to him as well as people on campus and to the community that are taking much of my time in addition to going to school. My goal in life is to glorify God. This is a costly decision, but it is also is the right one. There comes a point where you know that basketball is important, but I have other goals that I want accomplish. This decision gives me more time to devote to attaining those goals. I will always be a part of the Sycamore basketball family. I love the team and coaches greatly. I know that ISU basketball has great things are in store this season and beyond. I also want to add that I am extremely thankful for having supportive parents, family and friends."

Wow, good for you Logan! It's never been said that following God would be easy, or that it wouldn't cost you, but you are following His leading, and for that you will be rewarded. I'm proud to call you my brother in Christ. Best wishes for much success in this new phase of your life! :wordyo:

In my mind he's leaving the team not because of playing time but to pursue something even bigger then basketball could ever be. I'm glad for him and I hope he accomplishes his goals. GO STATE

O yeah I figured he wasn't leaving due to playing time.
 
This is an extremely mature decision by an obviously mature young man. There's no doubt in my mind that Logan will be wildly successful in whatever he pursues.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it has nothing to do with playing time, but what is wrong with that? Some guys hold on forever and have nothing else in their life. That he does is outstanding and I wish him the best.
 
Thank you Logan for all the hard work you put in as a Sycamore on an NCAA tourney team! Good luck in your current and future ventures!

He is getting his reward through the grace of God and many of us should be learning a lesson from this young man.

I know I personally do not give enough time to Christ/God, this young man has seen the true light and is following it to it's destination.

I have the ultimate respect for his decision and for the people that question
whether it was him or his brother who played more, I don't believe that had any bearing on this young mans decision.

He has other pursuits that he feels are more important to him with one being God.
 
He has heard the call and was not afraid to answer it ... God Bless you Logan ...


Here I am Lord
