McKnight Transferring

I always thought children of faculty members got free tuition. Does Bubu get any assistance with his dad working for the university?
Sorry to hear about Mcknight. Hope he finds a good fit somewhere else.

Wish that were true; I would have saved a lot of money.
 
He played a lot of solid minutes, and didn't commit too many errors. He seems to know what he is doing against Big 12 competition. So, I'm not sure what your standards are for a "Big 12 player". But, I wouldn't mind if they gave him a thank you scholarship for the minutes he has put in.

Iowa State is not in a position to be giving out "thank you" scholarships...
 
Well with guys getting canned at Georgia Tech, Arkansas, and OU there may be some pretty good recruits looking to get out of their letter of intents and go elsewhere.

I thought OU had a kid from Kansas City or Kansas that was a 4 star forward.
 
The meltdown will be epic when it's announced that this scholly is going to Bubu.

If Bubu gets a scholarship and people start screaming about it, the same people better scream "Fire Fred" too because it's the coaching staff's authority to give scholarship.
I'll trust the coaching staff's decision whatever it is.

If some big time recruits open up this spring Kansas will be looking.
I'm hoping we can now add a post like Dingle to the 2012 class.

I honestly would not have a problem with this. Bubu has worked hard and he has value to the team. Not every scholarship player on your roster is going to be a star.
 
Bubu is not getting a scholarship this year. Fred knows what he has to do to turn this around, and it all hinges on the next 3 years. Having guys like Bubu is exactly why we haven't won a B12 tourney game in 6 years, and haven't had a winning season in how long exactly?

Nothing against Bubu, as he seems like a great guy and a solid walk on, but we need difference makers to turn the ship and Fred knows this.

We are upgrading talent month by month so I think it will probably go to a star.

His turnover % is 19.6%. His +/- per game is 1, which means he makes a negligible impact on the court.

In conference games only, his turnover% went up to 26%, and his +/- per game was -2.6... His winshares are 0.8, anything less than 1 is pretty bad.

The only reason why Bubu is even on the team, is because it was a lame attempt to try and recruit Harrison Barnes. Bubu seems like a good kid, but he isn't a scholarship player at this level.
 
This isn't really much of a loss, IMO. With all of the players coming in and guys like Godfrey, Ejim, Railey, and Scotty returning who will demand minutes there's just no way you're going to get 12 guys minutes. It's not going to happen. White, Baab, Booker, Allen, McGee, Odunsi, Sledge, the 4 returning guys, and I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting one of the transfers, that's 12 guys right there. I have to imagine Odunsi or Sledge will redshirt (probably Odunsi due to lack of depth at the point), but even if one of them redshirts you're still looking at McKnight getting mop-up minutes at best.
 
I hope Bubu gets it. He works hard and contributes, why shouldn't he get a scholly. We can't just take kids who get kicked off teams, it's nice to get some good press by rewarding a walkon.

Sure he works hard. IMO for a walk on to get a scholarship, they need to start or contribute 20 mpg. You can't just hand out scholarship because kids work hard. I would work hard if Fred would let me on the team.

People were up in flames about losing a scholly next year to bring in Korie, yet they want to tie one up with a 2-3 ppg scorer? Would be in favor of giving him a scholly only if we want to pocket it to 2012. However, Bubu will probably be the 12th-13th man next year and we need to bring in some nice HS talent.
