I was thinking almost exactly this, glad I'm not the only crazy one. Royce-like offense (in the half court)?Tough break, but with Jones not being eligible until the second semester next year it would have been a tough transition for the team to make midseason. They'll be fine with Bubu and Morris running the point. And who knows, maybe Hoiberg will hand the keys to the halfcourt offense to Niang next season. He seems pretty comfortable in the high post area.
How about we have this ******* match between MM and BP next fall............ISU is now only 1 game out of first place in the Big12, lets enjoy the next few weeks!
my question is-why wasn't this known long ago? if he was ineligible at usc when he left, and it is a rule that if you leave ineligible you stay ineligible at the next school then why in the f did we waste a scholarship for a year on a guy who would likely never play? we wasted a year on an appeal? when has isu EVER won an appeal for any sport? not only that, but bank on it until told otherwise? fred going out and offering someone immediately proves he was counting on maujo being here until proven otherwise.

Yeah, kind of but not exactly the same. RW was a one of a kind college basketball player, and I don't envision Niang running a fast break or chucking one handed 3/4 courtlength passes. However, I can see one of the guards getting the ball into the frontcourt and then initiating a halfcourt set through Niang at the top of the key or high post.I was thinking almost exactly this, glad I'm not the only crazy one.

We were going to bank the scholarship any way so they took a chance. You do realize that eligibility issues involving the NCAA aren't usually black and white right?
Preparing myself now for all the complaining and worrying next non conference when Morris isn't scoring 30 per game....you know I'm right...
Nobody expects that.
Quite right. The kid is averaging 25 pts, 9 assists, 5 boards and almost 5 steals a game. With another off season under his belt I think it is more realistic to expect 28, 12, 8 and 6.
They way Bubu has played this year makes me feel this way too. My money is on him. At least to start the non-conference.
If monte can unseat Bubu, that probably tells you that Monte is going to be very good
Woulda been funny to hear "Annnnnnnnd Maurice Jones drew the foul...."

Clonecones, your avatar is really not complete until you photoshop in a Clone Cone in Hoiberg's hand. The photo is practically begging for it.
Whomever said that in the other thread was spot on.
