Believe it or not, it is possible to work out without being on a sports team. So he very well could be in shape.
Bubu could help...Monte at the point

Especially with how much people have been ******** about Kane lately you would think they would want Bubu back asap. Bubu is the anti-Kane. He'll sit there, run the offense, slow the tempo when we need a rest, and his priority will be to get everyone else involved. It would be a good change of pace from what we have now. He's spent over twice as much time playing with Niang and Ejim than Kane or Morris.

Although I do agree with what you're saying, I think we need the to have the best players on the court to give a chance to win games. If Bubu can contribute and improve this team in any way then great. If not, keep him on the bench.
I sure hope Bubu rejoins the team and starts playing some quality minutes right off the bat. Some of you people need professional help the way you hate on a kid that stuck around regardless of being jerked around by people with hidden agendas. I'm rooting for Bubu. He's a Cyclone.
Agree with OP. Man-Man deserves to start, and the only way we can have him start is to have a backup PG and switch Kane to the 2. I hope this happens! Bubu is no world beater, but he's a serviceable B12 point guard.

Agreed. I think OP's point is that we need Monte to start. For this to happen, we need to move Kane to the 2. This won't happen unless we have a backup point guard available in my opinion, which is where Bubu comes in.
Bubu Gives us Options
Based on what I was hearing this summer, Bubu was playing well enough to start at PG. Based on what I've seen this year, Kane and Morris are better PG's than Bubu. But that isn't the real issue, the question is whether Bubu is as good or better than Long and Thomas? IMO those are the two guys he would take minutes from. Bubu isn't the 3 point shooter as those two, but he is a better on ball defender and can agressively go to the hole. It seems like CFH has been hesitant to start Morris,. IMO this opens the door for Morris to start and for Bubu to fill in for Morris. It allows Long and Thomas to be shooters off the bench to spell Kane or as part of the rotation where Kane spells Ejim or Hogue.

WHY WOULD WE WANT A KID ON OUR TEAM THAT HAS BROUGHT TROUBLE AND EMBARRASSMENT TO OUR PROGRAM AND ISN'T BIG 12 READY?!?

WHY WOULD WE WANT A KID ON OUR TEAM THAT HAS PLAYED IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT AND WOULD BE PHENOMENAL OFF THE BENCH!?!?

Re: Bubu Gives us Options
Very good analysis, and I did see BuBu play this summer and he was much improved from a year earlier in the CCL. Actually his 3 point shot was improving at the end of last year, and he looked good shooting 3's in the CCL at a 50% clip, where he was mvp over all of our current players except Kane. I'm certainly not saying he's better than those players, but he certainly was an improved player, especially in his 3 point shooting. Even if he only gets back to the level he was playing at the end of last season, where he was a key sub on a good NCAA team, he will help.

Go read Randy Peterson interview(twitter) where Bubu mentioned he has been practicing during his dismissal with Jack Sullivan in Ankeny(Kindgom Hoops).
To lazy to read but if thats true then maybe he actually has gotten good at shooting threes. I think he has but maybe thats the proof to get people to actually believe it.
You'll have to pardon me if I find it humorous that a guy who's SN is cyhawkuni is talking about team chemistry :biglaugh:
This article says otherwise:

As much as I enjoy drinking the Register Haterade, that was a good article from Peterson. Much better than Bryce Miller's POS column last week.
"Looking for a Boston Market" is my new favorite euphemism. Cracked my wife up all weekend saying it at the bar. Nobody had a clue what I was talking about.
I'm excited to have Bubu back. He didn't do anything wrong, and what happened to him was horrible. I hope he comes in, plays well, and really helps Iowa State. Happy for you Bubu.
