Dragging this up from a few pages ago, but I have to add my appreciation for what Bubu has done for us as well. Adding his contributions without affecting the "salary cap" has made me a big fan. And it's great hearing a fat-arsed radio guy over here calling him baah-boo Paylow and asking "who is this, he's a walk on?" as they wear their "let's be mad (that we're not in the tournament) again" T-Shirts.
Side note: the Baah-boo discussion by the aforementioned fat-arse was a discussion right before the tournaments kicking off. It was f-ing hilarious to hear them squirm about the hawks in the NIT and looking for anything to make up for it. Baah-boo came up in an evaluation of how many local kids were on the teams. ISU was transfer U...yada, yada. If I could get audio, I'd post it.
The privilege to have Bubu as a walk-on is pure robbery. He would easily start at plenty of D1 teams in the country. Good thing he's a Cyclone through and through.
I think this is a conspiracy to get our minds off Royce. Anyways, no harm in a little speculation to keep traffic up on the site.
I'm completely ok with that. I'm pretty sure its unhealthy for me to be pondering Royce's decision as many times during the day as I do.:GEEK:
This. IF Royce stays, you know that it's just for next year and that's it. That is losing 4 starters plus two major backups. I don't see bringing in Lockett as a possibility. Pelle I could see.
Wait, a starter is transferring? It feels like the mcdermott era all over again.
Do i really need the jimlad?
He could enter grad. school, not play but practice next year, and then play the following year.
If he comes to ISU, I would think it would be at least a small factor in Royce' s decision.
We Win the National Championship and Reload with High School talent every year after like Kentucky...:yes:
That next year will be a tough one, but with our class for this fall, and the success this last team had, I think Freddie will be bringing in some top notch talent for that year.
If he comes here, I'd say play the guy right away and go for the whole thing. It's not like the stars align like that very often.
Play him and let the chips fall where they may the following year. I'd rather have a final four team one year and a rebuilding year the next than have two ~ 22-11 type teams in a row.
do we really need another guard? haven't seen much of this kid play but if royce stays... where is he on in the lineup
I slept on this and after thinking about it some more, I would welcome Trent with open arms. It's stupid to worry about the scholarship situation or how many players are back, etc. There are always players to be had every year. CFH has said as much. Fred's concern is putting the best possible team on the floor each and every year and Trent would help fill a hole vacated by CA and SC graduating.
Hope it happens (and White stays of course)!!
