"I sat down with my family and decided I'm still verbally committed to Iowa State," Staten said.
Staten did, however, leave open the possibility of a change of heart after this high school season.
"After thinking about it, it was a bad decision to decommit," he said. "I'm going to wait till after the season to decide what I want to do."
Staten originally committed to Iowa State prior to playing a high school basketball game.
Coming off a second team All State freshman season, Staten competed in the prestigious Nike Hoop Jamboree this summer.
