Wait. We shouldn't judge the kid but we can judge if the program is a mess...as opposed to someone just cleaning it up?
I'm all for giving a kid a chance, like Iowa did with Hubbard or whatever his name was. Which we've taken grief from Clones for that, far too unevenly.
My problem with this is that State seems determined to take anybody they can get, repetitively, and taken on the whole it appears that it isn't because State sees itself as some rehabilitation program, but is trying to win games anyway they can.
Bottom line. It isn't the kid I'm complaining about...it's Iowa State. Folks HAVE come to expect that ANY player who gets kicked off his current team is a candidate for Iowa State, haven't they? Turns out, again, that those folks are right.
I think Iowa State TAKES chances. And has used up any consideration of otherwise.
This makes no sense.
