Look, there is nothing positive or fun about this...
I really think Paul loves Iowa and Iowa State. We had high hopes he was going to be a winner in Ames...that seems to have died with Chiz's recruits.

We should have been on the JUCO wagon long before now. The reality is finding, identifying, choosing the right HS kid that will develop into good D1 player is tough when you're picking from 2 & 3 star talent. Injuries, attitude, dedication, development are almost impossible to predict in 18 year old kids
