Here's my rivals page:

For the record, CFH told me I would be turned into a PG when I got here. And I liked the place so much I figured I'd walk on instead of take the scholarship offers.

Point forward?

I've always thought that Naz looks pretty capable. Not afraid to shoot or take it to the rack. i think he can find some minutes at the point next year.

He'll definitely get some minutes at point and with 8 months to work at the position he should be pretty well prepared.

So this was due to "academic reasons" but it wasn't grades? Was he caught cheating, like, multiple times? Or is someone lying?

**iacyguy** · 02-06-2013, 05:52 PM

so just to double check. MJ will not be playing with us next year, nor any year after, or is this just a one year sit out thingy

**cmjh10** · 02-06-2013, 05:53 PM

Bubu will start beginning of the year to help Morris adjust to college ball. Morris will eventually start once he has become adjusted. Bubu starting will be fine, nothing wrong with a slow, methodical PG.

Travis Hines ‏@TravisHines21
No. RT @WestDesMoinesCY: @TravisHines21 will Jones remain n Ames n play n 2014?

**State43** · 02-06-2013, 05:57 PM

IF he get's his academics straight, is he eligable for 14/15? Or is he not even coming at all now?

EDIT: someone else is on it..

MoJo - Sad, he could've been really good. SCREW THE NCAA.
Naz - Probably not a pure PG
Bubu and Morris - I think Morris will start simply because Bubu can't exactly pull up for the jump shot. A lot of our offense runs through the PG and that's why MM gets the edge over BP. He'll still get a ton of pt and may have 6th man minutes. But honestly if Bluford is like McGee than Bubu stays "7th" man...

**Dryburn** · 02-06-2013, 06:13 PM

Last year, ISU had virtually no point guards, except for the walk-on Bubu....now next year, ISU will have 3, including an experienced senior Bubu, a so far unproven sophomore, and a top 100 pg....and ISU is thin? Last year was thin. By comparison, next year ISU is bloated.

This doesn't really come as a surprise about Jones I guess. I was wondering if he was practicing, but found it strange he would never mention anything about it, the practice facility, any of the other players, or anything about any of the games, win or lose on Twitter. Is he even in Ames any more?

Yep, pretty much the same as calling the sky "blue".

I think Bubu Palo will get the lions share of point guard duties next season. Man Man without question has the potential of being great for us. But, I think he needs some grooming his Freshman campaign. But, could surprise us and have a breakout first year like Niang.
