Bubu earned his scholly and deserves to keep it. Also, he'll graduate and have a good GPA, which is something every BCS conference school can use. He definitely proves his worth.
I'm pretty sure Shirley's National Merit Scholarship didn't count against team scholarships. I thought that was in his book. Maybe he was not recruited. Those only go to the very brightest kids though.
Didn't realize Bubu was recruited in soccer. That probably makes a difference.
I can't imagine all academic scholarships count. Kid on my son's dorm floor walked on the football team after no recruiting. They surely don't count that against the football scholarships that the kid already had a University Presidential and College of Engineering scholarship, do they? If that was the case, they would never let smart kids walk on.
I don't care what anyone says on here but Bubu earned his scholarship and deserves to keep it. I don't care that he originally was a walk on, he played meaningful minutes in some big games this year and was probably our 2nd best on-ball defender after Babb. He could probably get starter's minutes at a smaller D1 school. He's an Ames kid, I don't want to see him leave and I think he's a valuable guy to have off the bench that brings good energy off the bench and can calm the team down when we are playing out of control.
Let's not. Give it to new guys that can come in and potentially start. Get another guard like Lockett and BUBU doesn't see the floor all year.
But we still don't know what Bubu wants. Someone with twitter tweet him and ask if he'd rather be on scholly next year or Fred use it to bring in a difference maker.
I'm kidding, please do not tweet this to Bubu.
If Bubu transfers, we can stop the stupidity about a walk on deserving a schollie.
Stinks to have such a talented kid leave due to alcohol problems and off court issues...wait he chose to transfer??? But he was a started against UConn!!
