Bubu
- Thread starter kcclone33
- Start date
At the same time to say our program is in trouble if he cracks the line-up is also unfair to him. I'm not saying you said that but some people have.
I have. I want/expect Greg and his staff to recruit top 200 players every year. If he does that and retains them, then Bubu doesn't crack the starting line up. Not a knock on the kid at all. It is simply the reality of the situation
Of the two, Alex Dorr has the biggest chance of being a good to great player before his time is up(nothing aginst Bubu). From watching him play on Monday, I could tell that he is a student of the game and just knows where to be at the right time. RS him this year, keep him in the weight room and by the time he's a junior, I could see him being a very solid player for us.
From what Coach Mac says, Garret, Buckley, and Colvin all hate practices because Bubu will pressure them the entire practice. He has improved their stamina and ball handling skills just over the summer. If this is the only job that Bubu has for the next 4-5 years, then he is still one of the most valuable players on our team.

So you KNOW that he will not be better than a top 200 player in the next 5 years? Also, what percentage of those 200 players do you think end up being busts?
How 'bout you say, "I don't THINK he will be a starter if we keep recruiting good", instead of saying "He WILL NOT be a starter". And ill keep saying, "I THINK he will be a starter eventually regardless of recruiting", and i wont ever say, "This or that WILL NOT happen EVER".

If my memory serves me correctly, Jeff Hornacek at least started here as a walk-on. But I am not sure about this.
Yes but according to some Hornacek doesn't count because he was a special circumstance and that was a long time ago and they know that Bubu cannot possibly develop into a top player so if he plays we will suck. Petey and Haluska both played a lot and we sucked, so that must be true of every walk-on. We must all give up hope in the underdog especially ones that bust their *** for ISU for the pure love of the game. I think you get my point.
You are being ironic, I take it. Good, because eventually every time becomes "a long time ago" and every player may be or is "a special circumstance," yes?
What a great name!
I'll bet the guy is excited as heck to be part of this great resurgence, but how can we have a Bubu (BooBoo) without a Yogi?

Reality? LOL.
There have been plenty of walkons over the years on successful teams, including ISU, that have been more significant contributors than Top 200 players on the same team.
The staff doesn't give a flip as to whether a kid is a top 200 players or walkon when determining PT. You should do likewise.
