Would u do that even if he was better than another player on scholarship, like maybe Sledge, Railey, or Booker?
So if those 3 leave or lose their scholly u still wouldn't keep Bubu on scholarship?
I dont think bubu really cares or covets a scholarship that much. Im sure he likes having one and appreciates it, but if he had a problem with walkng on he wouldn't have come hereor transferred by now.
If all 3 were to leave, it would depend on who the staff thought they could get and the team needs. If it is down to freshman versions of those guys or Bubu, then give it to Bubu.
I'm pretty sure wants one as much as the next guy does. I don't think he will transfer if he doesn't get one, but if Fred give some questionable 3 star kid out of HS, or another transfer a scholarship over Bubu I think he is making a big mistake and risks losing the respect of several of his players who also recognize the value of a player like Bubu. Some of the more selfish players won't care but the tough nosed blue collar players may. If Fred has a bigtime recruit on the line I'm sure Bubu will understand because the bottom line is Bubu wants to win as much as the next guy and maybe understands and is more flexible than most.
Yes He is getting more time than a scholarship PG on our roster and he has been just as good or better than several PG's we have played against. McD probably would have given him one had he transferred to Creighton right away.
How many teams would be willing to give a back-up pg (on a team with no starting pg)a scholarship for two years for one year of play? Not many.
a quote from hoiberg from cyclones.com article.
Hoiberg also announced today that Nazareth "Naz" Long, a 6-4, 195-pound guard who signed a financial aid agreement with the Cyclones in October, will join the Iowa State basketball team in 2012-13.
"Naz has been playing great and we can hardly wait to see him in a Cyclone uniform," Hoiberg said. "We both agreed it would be best for him to continue playing high school basketball and finish out the semester in Canada. He's done everything we have asked him to do and he will be an important part of a very special recruiting class next year."
Bubu comes from a well educated family that has enough money to send him to college and he is also very intelligent, at least compared to many players who their only shot at college is an athletic scholarship.
If he is getting playing time I would guess he is happy regardless.

I couldn't agree more with Rhoadhoused.You guys need to keep in mind that Bubu declined D1 soccer scholarships(3) to be a basketball walk-on.

Iowa State men's basketball: Bubu Palo receives scholarship | The Des Moines Register | DesMoinesRegister.com
It clearly states "for the 2012 spring semester."
I would love for him to have a scholarship for 2 more years, if there's one available. He's earned it. But right now, it's a one semester deal.
That argument hold no water. Are u saying u should only get an athletic scholarship if u are dumb and poor? Many D1 scholarship athletes com from well educated middle class families.

How is Bubu any less deserving of a scholarship than anyone else on the team?
If he doesn't have one, so be it - not my call. But the "justifications" for why he doesn't or shouldn't have one are pathetic.
First concern is doing what is optimal for the program, not a singular player. Bubu has little leverage, and Fred should use that to the program's advantage.
