"I mean, I know Stauskas has got the contract coming up," Obama said with a smile. "So he’ll -- he doesn't have to worry about these things."

Obama's comments were met with a loud groan from the audience in general, as Michigan fans continue to wait on Stauskas' upcoming decision about whether he'll return to school for his junior season or enter the 2014 NBA draft.
Hearing the grown, Obama quickly amended his statement.

"I’m saying later -- I’m not telling him to leave," said Obama, who drew a much more jovial response this time. "I wasn’t editorializing on that."

"I'm not really sure," Stauskas said at the time. "I don't know where I'm at right now with the decision. In the next couple of days I'll start figuring out what I've got to do."

Thank you to @BarackObama for the shoutout! #MadeMyDay #ThePresidentKnowsMe!!!!!! :) #GoBlue
